This is specific to the app repo https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app

There are several Android crash issues related to downloaded books, so please check if one of those issues is the same as this one. Additional information, such as whether it is downloaded to Internal App Storage or Shared storage, and if downloading it again fixes the issue, would be helpful.
