How the Light Gets In: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel, Book 9 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 901min
There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in. (Leonard Cohen) Christmas is approaching, and in Québec it’s a time of dazzling snowfalls, bright lights, and gatherings with friends in front of blazing hearths. But shadows are falling on the usually festive season for Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. Most of his best agents have left the Homicide Department, his old friend and lieutenant Jean-Guy Beauvoir hasn’t spoken to him in months, and hostile forces are lining up against him. When Gamache receives a message from Myrna Landers that a longtime friend has failed to arrive for Christmas in the village of Three Pines, he welcomes the chance to get away from the city. Mystified by Myrna's reluctance to reveal her friend's name, Gamache soon discovers the missing woman was once one of the most famous people not just in North America, but in the world, and now goes unrecognized by virtually everyone except the mad, brilliant poet Ruth Zardo. As events come to a head, Gamache is drawn ever deeper into the world of Three Pines. Increasingly, he is not only investigating the disappearance of Myrna’s friend but also seeking a safe place for himself and his still-loyal colleagues. Is there peace to be found even in Three Pines? And at what cost to Gamache and the people he holds dear? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ralph Cosham.

Only in Vegas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
Being Italian and being sexy are supposed to go hand in hand, but somewhere along the line 26-year-old Angelina Rossi's genes forgot their Italian love goddess heritage. And now everyone at her work knows what a failure she is as a woman thanks to her ex-boyfriend and coworker at Sunset Travel, who has given Angie the nickname of Ice Princess, claiming no man will ever thaw her. Thirty-year-old business executive Trey Landers isn't surprised by much his best friend and neighbor, Angelina Rossi, throws his way. But this time she throws him one hell of a curve ball. She not only wants him to accompany her on a business trip to Las Vegas, pretending to be her lover in front of her ex-boyfriend, she wants Trey to give her pointers on what it takes to seduce a man. A man of his word, Trey's fevered kisses in front of her ex has the ass regretting his decision to break up with Angie. Not that she'd ever consider going back to Rick, especially after discovering true passion in Trey's arms. With that passion comes the realization they're no longer pretending, as the lines of their longstanding friendship and newfound love begin to blur. If only what happened didn't have to stay in Vegas. Or does it? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karen White. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/026892/bk_acx0_026892_sample.mp3.

The Planets: The Gabriel Ramirez Series, Book 39 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min
It's funny how scientists got all this information about other planets all over our solar system, but they can't solve anything on this planet, let alone go to the bottom of our oceans. Science is fantastic, but I don't see how they can know the structural composition of some of these planets in such detail when they're so far away. I would like to see a video on how they know this, because of all I can assume it's temperature-based. Why can't we see real footage instead of CGI? It's all assumptions that scientists make. If there was a big bang, did it just blow up little balls of rock into space? It seems to me every time I've watched a rock blow up, there was not one ball-shaped piece to be found, but every part from the big bang is almost perfectly round. What happened to make that possible? How do they know the center of a planet is like? They're so far away, and they are still discovering what our own is like - that makes no sense at all. Why do scientists assume that other planets need to have the same requirements as earth to support life? What if other life forms don't need any of the basic requirements we need to survive? So many questions, how do we know so much information supposedly of each planet if we haven't sent landers there? How do they know what core they have? How do we know the gases that they have? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dwayne Clark. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/236764/bk_acx0_236764_sample.mp3.

The Long Way Home: Chief Inspector Gamache, Book 10 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 724min
Happily retired in the village of Three Pines, Armand Gamache, former Chief Inspector of Homicide with the Sûreté du Québec, has found a peace he'd only imagined possible. On warm summer mornings he sits on a bench holding a small book, The Balm in Gilead, in his large hands. "There is a balm in Gilead," his neighbor Clara Morrow reads from the dust jacket, "to make the wounded whole." While Gamache doesn't talk about his wounds and his balm, Clara tells him about hers. Peter, her artist husband, has failed to come home. Failed to show up as promised on the first anniversary of their separation. She wants Gamache's help to find him. Having finally found sanctuary, Gamache feels a near revulsion at the thought of leaving Three Pines. "There’s power enough in Heaven," he finishes the quote as he contemplates the quiet village, "to cure a sin-sick soul." And then he gets up. And joins her. Together with his former second-in-command, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, and Myrna Landers, they journey deeper and deeper into Québec. And deeper and deeper into the soul of Peter Morrow. A man so desperate to recapture his fame as an artist, he would sell that soul. And may have. The journey takes them further and further from Three Pines, to the very mouth of the great St. Lawrence river. To an area so desolate, so damned, the first mariners called it The land God gave to Cain. And there they discover the terrible damage done by a sin-sick soul. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Nora & Kettle: A Paper Stars Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 621min
Fans of Eleanor & Park and The Book Thief will love this startling and heart-warming take on Peter Pan. What if Peter Pan was a homeless kid just trying to survive, and Wendy flew away for a really good reason? Seventeen-year-old Kettle has had his share of adversity. As an orphaned Japanese American struggling to make a life in the aftermath of an event in history not often referred to - the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and the removal of children from orphanages for having "one drop of Japanese blood in them" - things are finally looking up. He has his hideout in an abandoned subway tunnel, a job, and his gang of Lost Boys. The world outside her oppressive brownstone calls to 18-year-old Nora - the privileged daughter of a controlling and violent civil rights lawyer who is building a compensation case for the interned Japanese Americans. But she is trapped, enduring abuse to protect her younger sister Frankie and wishing on the stars every night for things to change. For months, they've lived side by side, their paths crossing yet never meeting. But when Nora is nearly killed and her sister taken away, their worlds collide as Kettle, grief stricken at the loss of a friend, angrily pulls Nora from her window. In her honeyed eyes, Kettle sees sadness and suffering. In his, Nora sees the chance to take to the window and fly away. Set in 1953, Nora and Kettle explores the collision of two teenagers facing extraordinary hardship. Their meeting is inevitable, devastating, and ultimately healing. Their stories, a collection of events, are each on their own harmless. But together, one after the other, they change the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Haley Landers.

Borrowed Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 639min
You can't run away from your past. But in some cases, it's worth a try. Sarah Landers' parents were killed in a plane crash when she was 17; her only sister committed suicide days after. Now, nearly a decade later, Sarah assures everyone she is perfectly fine - never mind her quiet aloofness, her intensity at work, her seeming neglect of any social life. Only Sarah knows the whole story. Only she is aware of the dark memories that plague her with guilt - of the fear of discovery that paralyzes her soul. But when an enigmatic illness forces the normally self-sufficient Sarah to depend on someone - namely her charming do-gooder of a neighbor, Adam, whom she has been trying desperately to avoid - her carefully built cocoon begins to crumble. Her family's home in Alabama, left vacant since the tragedy, still holds the grim evidence of her nightmares and is slated for imminent demolition. With the horror of her past swiftly catching up to her, Sarah's malady begins to look less like a catastrophe - and more like her only way out. But the (rather irreverent) reverend Adam Carmassi refuses to let Sarah go - not when she is the first woman who has ever truly touched his heart, and not when he is so certain he can help her. With the end of Sarah's life looming in more ways than one, Adam wages a desperate campaign to convince her that no matter what tortured secrets she insists on hiding, her life is worth living - and their chance of a future together, however slim, is a dream worth fighting for. ungekürzt.
