But they're frustrated by stagnant wages, shrinking health coverage, shaky pension plans, and company polices that make it more difficult for them to do their jobs well.

  The Mystery of the Malcontent Misanthrope: The Adventures of Ossian Macbrádaigh , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 92min

  What's more fun than a mystery? A mystery novella, that's what! Meet Oissan Mac Brádaigh - Brady for short - a handsome, two-fisted, poetry-loving private eye with an office in the heart of Harvard Square. His assistant, Sarah Friedman, cute as pie, has a totally huge crush on Brady. His client is Edward Whiteside, an alcoholic drink-at-his-desk attorney who has hired Brady to find Rolland Toulouse, the wealthiest rock 'n' roller-cum-computer game inventor cum-author in history, who's gone missing. Whiteside needs Brady to get Rolland to the IPO for his company, MortePortal, in four days or lose the deal. Brady uses his logic to start the search, but it's Sarah's intuition and iPhone that gets them on Rolland's trail. Following that trail leads to Rolland's dark, ominous mansion in Brookline. Here Sarah and Brady suddenly find they've unintentionally engaged their Uber driver Connor, Nicole Donovan, a Boston cop and Brady's girlfriend, and Drago, Rolland's butler, in pursuit of the missing misanthrope. Led by Drago through the underground tunnels of Boston to Rockburyport, questions plague them: Will they or won't they find Rolland? What happens if they do? Can they get him to the IPO? And just what is going on with Drago? Exciting, bizarre, funny and a quick listen, anyone who likes Raymond Chandler, Carl Hiaasen or the Firesign Theater will enjoy Brady. The Audible version is narrated by the talented Michael Larrain and the original (and often humorous) sound effects from Faux Fiction Audio make the story come alive in ways you never expected. ungekürzt.

  Swamp Cabbage: The Rachael O'Brien Chronicles Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 238min

  This summer, Rachael O'Brien must participate in a work-study apprenticeship and has lined up a job running an art gallery in Beaufort. Free rent in the owner's plantation-style home, and having Francine, her bayou-bred college roommate working as a law intern in the same town sealed the deal. Majestic waterfront views impress, but the emotional tide turns when the girls discover a corpse in the garden shed. When the police can't find the body, the girls are accused of pranking the authorities. Balancing her Baptist morals with her Voodoo heritage, Francine calls a local root doctor who declares that a malcontent spirit lurks. Rachael's not buying the mystical woo-woo, but with the body's disappearance she's spooked. Ruining any semblance of normality, her kooky mom and tag-along "psychic friend" show up. Mom's partner wastes no time launching into a trance in which she reveals a vision of the property's gruesome secrets, eerily similar to what the roommates witnessed. When art and heirloom silver go missing, Rachael and her mishmash of companions become drawn into the mystery and she must delve into local history to find answers in this tale that dances on the toes of age-old Gullah folklore in Paisley Ray's Swamp Cabbage. ungekürzt.
