Things I Don't Have to Do, Hörbuch, Digital, 58min
Congratulations! You are now a member of a cult audience. This means that you know about me before a lot of other people do. Imagine the fun you'll have dropping my name into conversation with unsuspecting 'squares': 'Ha! That reminds me of that bit on the Spencer Brown album....'"'Who?' They'll reply, falling naively into your trap. You'll pause as if you have said something you shouldn't, nod knowingly, and then turn back to your copy of Proust."But being a member of a cult audience has its responsibilities: mention my name enough and you'll be one of the cool people; mention it too much and I'll be rich and famous and you'll be just another face in the crowd. A sheep. So enjoy it while you can. It won't be long before you'll be saying 'Spencer Brown? Yeah.... I like his early stuff, but I feel he's gone a bit mainstream....' Try saying it now. It feels good doesn't it? Almost something to look forward to...or who knows? Maybe that'll turn out to be just another thing you don't have to do!"Spencer Brown Language: English.

Just Say the Word… , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 691min
When her boyfriend is naively sucked into the Mob, young Rita Napapolus spends years trying to reconcile her days as a school teacher against her nights as a mob mistress. Eventually, the distraught young woman flees the familiarity of the east coast with her daughter to begin a new life in Seattle. Though tortured by leaving her lover behind, she is now free of the Mafioso’s hold. After peaceful years in the Pacific Northwest, Rita’s life takes another dangerous turn: a recent fling turns up dead, and Rita’s fingerprints are found on the gun that killed him. When a million-dollar bail is mysteriously posted and a hot-shot defense lawyer arrives from San Francisco, Rita’s friends want answers - and so does the FBI. Delving into the investigation head first, authorities hit a wall when they find no record of the petite office manager’s history before her arrival 20 years ago. Is this seemingly innocent woman what she appears to be, or has she been framed? Who is watching out for her, and what forces have shaken her destiny? Could this single mom really be a killer? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carla Salvo. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/005500/bk_blak_005500_sample.mp3.

Celebration , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 896min
Number-one New York Times best-selling author Fern Michaels dazzles listeners with the unforgettable story of one woman's life - the betrayal that nearly destroys her, the love that helps her heal, and the struggle to find the truth about herself and the man she thought she knew. An only child who lost both parents during her first year at college, wealthy heiress Kristine Kelly had made her husband her whole world. But she didn't see what everyone else did: that handsome, charismatic Logan Kelly was a manipulator and a user. Then, one cold December, Kristine got a chilling wake-up call when Logan vanished, along with the eight-million-dollar trust fund she had naively given him the power to control. Just when Kristine's life was at its lowest point, banker Aaron Dunwoodie offered her passion, a strong shoulder to lean on, and a relationship to believe in. But a woman once fooled is twice wary, and very vulnerable. There were still too many questions Kristine needed to answer before she could commit her heart again: what really happened to Logan.... What did she truly want for herself.... And what would she do if Logan - a dangerous, seductive, and yet irresistible man - walked back into her life? ungekürzt. Language: English.

Our Vinnie: The True Story of Yorkshire's Notorious Criminal Family: Tales of the Notorious Hudson Family, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 546min
The infamous Canterbury Estate in Bradford, a hotbed of crime, drink and drugs, was a law unto itself in the '70s. So when one of their own was wronged in any way, the community always had its own way of dealing with it. The first title in a series of gritty family sagas, Our Vinnie accounts the dramatic true story of a brother's determination to avenge his younger sister's rape. Josie was just 11 when her Vinnie, then 14, was taken away to a detention centre. Distraught by his absence and left alone with indifferent parents, when she escapes from one of their rows she naively enters the house of a neighbour, Melvin, who - horrifically - leads her upstairs and overpowers her. Convinced by her friend Carol, Josie tells her sister Lyndsey about the rape but, with Vinnie out of the picture, Lyndsey uses the information for her own ends. When Vinnie returns, hardened by years inside the system, his outrage on discovering the truth is severe. And with new abuses continually coming to light, a cataclysmic series of violent events begins to spiral out of control… Dramatic and shocking, Our Vinnie is an unbelievable page-turner, documenting a community forsaken by society, and one brother's unrelenting determination to take justice into his own hands. ungekürzt.
