    Cuba Beyond the Beach: Stories of Life in Havana , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 334min
    Havana is Cuba's soul: a mix of Third World, First World, and Other World. After over a decade of visits as a teacher, researcher, and friend, Karen Dubinsky looks past political slogans and tourist postcards to the streets, neighborhoods, and personalities of a complicated and contradictory city. Her affectionate, humorous vignettes illustrate how Havana's residents - old communist ladies, their skeptical offspring, musicians, underground vendors, entrepreneurial landlords, and poverty-stricken professors - go about their daily lives. As Cuba undergoes dramatic change, there is much to appreciate and learn from in the unlikely world Cubans have collectively built for themselves. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the Queen's University Student Overseas Travel Fund - The Sonia Enjamio Fund, which funds Cuban/Canadian student exchange. ungekürzt.

    Winner of the 2013 Leacock Memorial Medal for Canadian Humour Writing! Long-listed for Canadar Reads 2018! Twenty-seven-year-old Frieda Zweig is at an impasse.

Then, a classified ad in the local paper introduces Frieda to Gladys, an elderly woman who long ago gave up on her dreams of being a dancer. The catch? Gladys is a ghost. In Dance, Gladys, Dance, Cassie Stocks tells the uplifting story of a woman whose uncanny connection with a kindred spirit causes her to see her life in a new way - as anything but ordinary. ungekürzt.

    What do you get when you cross the Virgin Mary with Brooke Shields, add a trash-talking beauty-queen wannabe and throw in a couple of talking nipples? One of the most laugh-out-loud books you'll hear all year. Peter Paddington is 13, overweight, the subject of his classmates' ridicule, and the victim of too many bad movie-of-the-week storylines. When Peter's nipples begin speaking to him one day and inform him of their diabolical plan to expose his secret desires to the world, Peter finds himself cornered in a world that seems to have no tolerance for difference. Peter's only solace is "The Bedtime Movies" - perfect-world fantasies that lull him to sleep every night. But when the lines between Peter's fantasy world and his reality begin to blur, no one is safe from the depths of Peter's imagination - especially Peter himself. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Moscow Code: A Foreign Affairs Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 460min
    In Moscow, the truth can be a dangerous commodity. Ottawa bureaucrat-turned-diplomat Charlie Hillier is back. Having barely survived his first posting in Havana, Charlie is eager to put what he learned there to good use. And it isn't long before he's thrust into a fresh case - a technical writer from Toronto in a Moscow jail on dubious drug charges. Charlie has barely put a dent in the brick wall that is the Russian legal system when the jailed man turns up dead; the official explanation: suicide. And just when evidence to the contrary is discovered, the body is "accidentally" cremated by the authorities. Undeterred by bureaucratic stonewalling and determined to help the victim's sister get to the bottom of her brother's death, Charlie follows the sparse clues available. But what he uncovers brings them both far too close to powers more dangerous than they could have imagined. Suddenly, getting at the truth is less important than getting out of Russia in one piece. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Garrow.

    Escape to Havana: A Foreign Affairs Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 436min
    For Charlie Hillier, a posting to Cuba could be the perfect place to start his new life - if he survives it. With his career stalled and the office abuzz about his soon-to-be-ex-wife's indiscretions, Ottawa bureaucrat Charlie Hillier is desperate for a change. So when the chance at a posting to the Canadian embassy in Havana comes up, he jumps at it, grateful to get as far away as he can from his ex and his dead-end job at Foreign Affairs headquarters. At first, exotic Havana seems just the place to bury his past and start anew, but he didn't count on finding a couple of kilos of cocaine under his bedroom floor, the kidnapping of a fellow diplomat, or the unsettling connection he uncovers between the former occupant of his house and a Colombian drug-runner. Before long, Charlie's only concern is whether he'll survive his posting at all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Garrow.

In the basement she makes a shocking discovery - two dead girls curled into the bottom of her mother's chest freezers.

After six weeks they disappeared; social workers, police officers, and Jessica herself assumed they had run away.
