Mystery in your ears.

Cluetone is a premium audiobook store devoted to one idea: the world's great mysteries deserve to be heard, not just read. A detective story was always meant to be told aloud, clue by clue, until the room goes quiet for the reveal.

Our shelves hold the rooms of one shadowy house: the detective classics, the golden age whodunits, crime and intrigue, spies and secrets, ghost stories, and the eerie and gothic. Some of these voices are new. Some have kept readers up past midnight for more than a century. All of them were chosen with care, one title at a time, by a publisher, not an algorithm. And the shelves keep growing: our team works continuously to add more audiobooks and enrich your library.

If life leaves you no time to sit with a book, this store was built for you. Press play and go live your day while the case unfolds in your ears. Are some of these classics old? Yes, proudly. The masters of the form, from foggy London streets to quiet villages with terrible secrets, wrote puzzles that still play fair and still surprise. You hear every clue the detective hears, and you are invited to solve it first.

Who we are.

Cluetone is operated by A Better You Everyday Publications, an independent publishing house based in Laval, Canada, creating premium books and audiobooks for readers and listeners around the world. We believe a good mystery should thrill without gore or cruelty, and we curate our catalog to keep it clever, atmospheric, and welcoming to everyone.

An honest note on our recordings, and on price.

We narrate at a scale a small independent house can only reach by accepting a little humanity in the result. Now and then you may notice a small imperfection: a word read a touch too quickly, or a sentence where the narrator's tone shifts briefly because we repaired it after the original take. We choose, deliberately, to spend our time bringing you more titles rather than re-recording a book that is already almost right. That trade is what keeps this membership among the least expensive in audiobooks, and we would rather tell you plainly than pretend to be flawless.

A word on the price itself. Streaming and storing thousands of hours of audio costs real money every month: servers, storage, bandwidth, and the people who keep it all running. As the library grows, the subscription price for new members will rise from time to time. Your own price is locked for as long as your subscription stays active: keep it, and the price you joined at is the price you keep.

A note on our classics.

Let us be very clear, because we believe you deserve plain words. Many of our titles are public domain books, and some recordings were made by volunteers of projects like LibriVox and can be found free online. We say so openly on their pages. As we grow, more of the catalog will come from our own studio and other narrators.

So what are you paying for? The experience that makes listening effortless. A player on your phone or tablet that always remembers where you paused, lets you speed up or slow down any narration, and downloads books for offline. One library that holds everything you own. And behind it, the streaming, the bandwidth, the servers that carry hundreds of hours of audio, the curation and cover art, and real people at support. That is the whole deal, simply said.
