Audiobooks that instantly gripped you

Suggest me some audiobooks that are instantly gripping.

I’m new to audiobooks and really want to find some good ones. My issue is that a lot of audiobooks that I’d definitely like to read, just don’t work for me to listen to. If they’re too convoluted or not instantly gripping, I zone out and then I have to rewind.

Memoirs seem to work quite well for me or thrillers/mysteries. As long as they’re fast paced from the get go really.

Thank you!

Edit Update: Loving all these recs, keep them coming! I find the amount of times Dungeon Crawler Carl and Project Hail Mary have been mentioned really amusing. Are y’all getting commision? PHM is out as I tried reading the book and lost my patience with it. DCC is next up after my current listen.
