    The Sweet Smell of Psychosis: A Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min
    A brief and brilliant satire of magazine hacks and fashionistas, The Sweet Smell of Psychosis shows Will Self - a writer hailed by Time as "brilliant, iconoclastic...one of Britain's most original young writers" - at the top of his form. It looks like it's going to be quite a Christmas for Richard Hermes, powdered with cocaine and whining with the white noise of urban derangement. Not so much enfolded as trapped in the bosom of the most venal media clique in London, Richard is losing it on all fronts: He's losing his heart to Ursula Bentley, a nubile and vacuous magazine columnist; he's in danger of losing his job at the pretentious listings magazine Rendezvous; he's losing his mind courtesy of Colombia's chief illegal export; and, worst of all, he's losing his soul...to the king of all media and sinister purveyor of opportunities - sexual, chemical, and professional - known only as Bell. Murky, paranoid, and hilarious, The Sweet Smell of Psychosis is Will Self at his best. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Lee.

    Powder and Patch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 321min
    Powder and Patch was first published in 1923 under the title of The Transformation of Philip Jettan and later republished as Powder and Patch, but without the final chapter which was included on the original title. The story takes place in the 18th century, where fashion was very much a la mode, with silks, stains, and powdered wigs. Philip Jettan, a handsome and sturdy youth, is rejected by the lady of his dreams, Cleone Charteris, because he is not foppish enough. Encouraged by his uncle, Philip decides to go to Paris in order to learn the ways of a stylish gentleman. On his return, however, Philip wonders whether Cleone prefers him as he is - or as he was. Cleone in her turn, wonders whether Philip has really changed or whether he is putting on a front. The resulting battle of wills is brought to a humourous and engaging climax, with mistakes being made by both parties. Powder and Patch was written by Georgette Heyer, an English novelist, who began writing in her early 20s and has written over 50 novels in the romance and detective genres. ungekürzt.

    His Taste of Temptation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
    One affair, 30 days. Since his last relationship blew up in his face, bomb expert Brad Crosby has lost his appetite for "permanent". But his kid brother's best friend? Now there's a curvy morsel he could wrap his lips around. For years Brad has been the star of Madison Graham's fantasies. If only she were the kind of put-together girl he prefers, not a pastry chef whose makeup consists of a dusting of powdered sugar on her nose. A belief that's confirmed when her apartment floods and he offers to let her sleep in his bed - alone. Wrapped in Brad's sheets, she dreams of his touches, his kisses, the feel of his body on hers. Except her dreams feel like reality - and come morning, she realizes it wasn't a dream at all. Soon the two are burning up the nights. But as Madison's sweet love grows on him, Brad can't help but think of extending their time together. Too bad Madison keeps reminding him their affair has an expiration date.

    A Dead Bore: John Pickett Mysteries, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 375min
    Eager to escape London following the scandal of her husband's death, Lady Fieldhurst accepts an invitation to spend the summer in rural Yorkshire as the guest of Sir Gerald and Lady Hollingshead. She soon discovers, however, that country life is not the panacea she had hoped for. Tension reigns and tempers flare at Hollingshead Place, due in large part to Lady Hollingshead's ambitions for her daughter, a lovely young lady destined for a brilliant marriage in spite of her love for a penniless curate. When a dinner party ends with the death of the vicar - a kindly old soul whose only sin appears to be the authorship of a dull local history - Lady Fieldhurst suspects foul play and sends for Bow Street Runner John Pickett, with one stipulation: since she is a guest in the house, Picket must keep his connection to Bow Street a secret. Pickett obliges by presenting himself as her footman, complete with livery and powdered hair. But Pickett soon has his white-gloved hands full sifting through old secrets, uncovering hidden passions, and dealing with a demanding housekeeper - not to mention avoiding the younger daughter of the house, a precocious 14-year-old with a school girl infatuation for the faux footman. Then there is the problem of Lady Fieldhurst herself, at once an able assistant and an all too pleasant distraction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joel Froomkin.

When Helen Ellis and her lifelong friends arrive for a reunion on the Redneck Riviera, they unpack more than their suitcases: stories of husbands and kids, lost parents and lost jobs, powdered onion dip and photographs you have to hold by the edges, dirty jokes and sunscreen with SPF higher than they hair-sprayed their bangs senior year, and a bad mammogram. It's a diagnosis that scares them, but could never break their bond. Because women pushing fifty won't be pushed around. In these twelve gloriously comic and moving essays, Helen Ellis dishes on married middle-age sex, sobs with a theater full of women as a psychic exorcises their sorrows, gets twenty shots of stomach bile to the neck to get rid of her double chin, and gathers up the courage to ask, "Are you there, Menopause? It's Me, Helen." A book that reads like the best cocktail party of your life, Bring Your Baggage and Don't Pack Light is alive with the sensational humor and ferocious love for her friends that won Helen Ellis legions of fans. This book has a raw vulnerability and an emotional generosity that takes this acclaimed author to a whole new level of accomplishment.
