    Murder in Saint Germain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 622min
    Paris, July 1999. Private investigator Aimee Leduc is walking through Saint-Germain when she is accosted by Suzanne Lesage, a Brigade Criminelle agent on an elite counterterrorism squad. Suzanne has just returned from the former Yugoslavia, where she was hunting down dangerous war criminals. Back in Paris, Suzanne is convinced she's being stalked by a ghost - a Serbian warlord she thought she'd killed. She's suffering from PTSD, and her boss thinks she's imagining things. She begs Aimee to investigate - is it possible Mirko Vladic could be alive and in Paris with a blood vendetta? Aimee is already working on a huge case, plus she's got an eight-month-old baby to take care of. But she can't say no to Suzanne, whom she owes a big favor. Aimee chases the few leads, and all evidence confirms Mirko Vladic is dead. It seems that Suzanne is in fact paranoid, perhaps losing her mind - until Suzanne's team begins to turn up dead in a series of strange, tragic accidents. Are these just coincidences? Or are things not what they seem? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carine Montbertrand. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/reco/010128/bk_reco_010128_sample.mp3.

    Set in rural upstate New York along the Delaware River, the Wayward Son Diner is a pit stop for tourists and locals of Sullivan County. Waitress Alex Hanson has seen it all and has no interest in the daily gossip-mongering of the natives. Knowing full well what it feels like to be the grease on the wheel, Alex takes pity on new park ranger Sam Ruiz, when he’s accosted by several eligible females whose need to satisfy their biological clocks outweighs their ingrained trepidation of a government employee. Alex’s reluctant intervention starts a chain reaction that forces Ranger Ruiz to her doorstep, pushing the NPS agenda, even though he hates to see Alex so on edge. Despite the spark of attraction, neither Sam nor Alex is willing to explore a real relationship - until a dangerous warning hits Sam too close to home. Before Alex can blink, she’s enmeshed herself in Sam’s investigation, and unwittingly becomes a target for the homegrown terrorists gunning for the National Park Service. And for Sam. ungekürzt.

    No Cure for Death: A Mallory Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 311min
    What’s a good mystery story without a beautiful blonde to set things in motion? When the femme sharing a bench with Mallory in the Port City, Iowa, bus station is accosted by a scar-faced, one-eyed thug, the aspiring writer stops minding his own business and leaps into the fray with nothing but his fists and a well-aimed Pepsi bottle. Once the dust clears, the battered brute flees, and the damsel is saved, Mallory figures that’s the end of it. But when the pretty stranger suddenly drops back into his life - after violently losing hers - the real trouble is only just beginning. It’s no surprise that Sheriff Brennan wants to quickly close the case, since it threatens to open a can of worms involving political secrets and powerful people. But the harder Brennan tries to declare the death an accident, the louder Mallory screams bloody murder. It’s not enough to wake the dead…but it may just bring a killer to his doorstep. ungekürzt.

    Wine Songs, Vinegar Verses , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min
    Sometimes lovers enter a relationship with the best of intentions but wind up in a place far from love.    Sometimes poets attempt love poems, simple and pure, but....Over breakfast, a husband trying to deny creeping out on his wife the previous night can't help but give hints about the creepy things he really did. On a beach, a man minding his own business is accosted by a pretty woman before a strong tide embarrasses them both. A husband and wife debate over what to name a child conceived illicitly. A tone-deaf proposal for marriage ends in murder. A traditionally arranged marriage spins into a deranged and surreal nightmare. These aren't anti-love poems. These are poems born and burned out of love. It's not recommended that a listener attempt the entire book in one sitting. Many of the poems are dense, complex, and may go straight to the head. Best to hearken in small doses, with a preferred drink in hand. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alex Hyde-White, Caroline Morahan, Punch Audio.
