Music app not playing an audiobook on iPhone 5s

I've paid and downloaded an audiobook, which came in two parts. Listened to the first part a few months ago and now when I try to play the second part, the screen swipes left and back and I get a search screen showing the two parts of the book. Audio book never starts. Tried to play the first part and got the same action. Book will play on my MacBook Pro with iTunes 12.1.2.27 under OS X 10.10.3. iPhone 5s iOS 8.3.

Any clues ???

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3

Howdy Ras,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.


If an item purchased from the iTunes Store does not play on your iPhone, then I recommend deleting the content from your iPhone, and then sync it back to your iPhone from your Mac.


Remove songs, albums, or audiobooks from the Music app by swiping to the left and tapping delete.
