I've got some audiobook credits before I cancel my account (just not worth it when the is there 🥰). Could someone recommend some good audiobooks?

What I am looking for:
✔️Cozy mysteries or cozy horror
✔️If romance, nothing 🌶️ because I can't listen to sex scenes being narrated to me without giggling like a middle schooler.
✔️Female main character = bonus
✔️POC protagonist = bonus
✔️YA or New Adult recs okay

Thanks! 🙏🏽

First in the Venus Bixby Mystery series from award-winning author Valerie Taylor.

Sea breezes and fireworks fill the air in cozy Chatham Crossing, the peaceful and historic whaling town situated between Providence and Cape Cod.

WITNESS PROTECTION IN A RETIREMENT community isn’t most 31-year-olds’ idea of fun, and with a murder on the grounds and $2 million missing from community accounts, it’s not very protected. Fun Florida cozy has lots of pizzazz. B PLUS

Some of this will mainly make sense to indie authors, but my publisher got a BookBub deal for Something Deadly on Desert Drive. I went from fewer than fifty ratings to 150 in a week! And I basically retained my star rating. I also hit at least #2 in free Cozy Mystery and #2 in free Women Sleuths in the Kindle Store. (I wasn't checking constantly.) Now if only those new readers will go on to read the rest of the series ....

Something Deadly on Desert Drive is free until the end of the month! In the humorous Accidental Detective series, a witty journalist solves mysteries in Arizona and tackles the challenges of turning fifty.
Readers say: “I love the characters in this series.”
“Kris has done a wonderful job providing a suspenseful mystery for the reader to help solve, as well as shared some interesting and quirky characters.”
https://tulepublishing.com/series/the-accidental-detective/
@bookstodon

A book cover has the title Something Deadly on Desert Drive in large letters. A tan vase is falling, spilling water, in the foreground. The background is an Arizona scene of a saguaro cactus and mesas, with a lot of green. Text to the left of the cover says: The Accidental Detective book 2 is free until 3/31! “I could barely put it down.”

    “Someone Rotten Riding the Rails is a very well-written and enjoyable story, that has the reader guessing until the end and full of intrigue and suspense… I highly recommend this book and would give more than 5* if I could.” BookBub

    A book cover shows a train between canyon walls, with a red background and the book title Someone Rotten Riding the Rails. Text says: Kate Tessler and her crew of misfits set out to blow the whistle on two feuding crime families . . . and then: "This book is a nail biter and I had a hard time putting it down.

    The image is a book cover with the title Someone Rotten Riding the Rails and artwork of a train moving through a canyon. A quote next to the cover says, “I was on board the train with your multi-generational crew from the beginning. Really fantastic. Have so loved this series.”

    I kinda want to write a murder mystery about a middle-aged woman who moves from her big-city professional job back to her small home town. She inherits a cosy little cottage and a little flower shop / bookshop / café / whatever. She runs into her ex and there's still chemistry there. But then – oh no! A murder. And she has to solve it because the cops think she's the killer.

    But…
