    The Renewable Virgin: Marian Larch, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 491min
    Kelly Ingram is a rising star who has everything going for her - great looks, a livewire personality, enough talent to get by on, a new TV series, and a new lover. She also has an agent and a producer who hate each other, but they still manage to work well enough together to keep Kelly's career moving in the right direction. But then a friend is murdered, a harmless scriptwriter who should have been no threat to anyone. The scriptwriter's mother enters Kelly's life, a history professor named Fiona Benedict who dislikes everything the actor stands for. Mediating between them is Sgt. Marian Larch of the NYPD, assigned to investigate the murder. What Marian turns up is a tale of ambition and envy and betrayal going back 15 years. Kelly, Fiona, and Marian - three women who have absolutely nothing in common except the act of murder that brings them together - take turns telling the story, which ultimately demonstrates how friendship can blossom in even the unlikeliest of circumstances. ungekürzt.

    The Other Passenger: Valancourt 20th Century Classics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 693min
    As a scriptwriter for the BBC, John Keir Cross (1914-1967) adapted classic horror tales by masters like M. R. James, Bram Stoker, and Ambrose Bierce into chilling radio programs.

[H]aunting.” (Kirkus Reviews) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kim Durham. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/136259/bk_acx0_136259_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Unparallel Careers!: Bowie & Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 479min
    A roller coaster ride through the world of music and showbiz - with added relevant music clips.British beat group The Lower Third came into being early in 1962 and finally died late in 1966. Of the musicians who, at various times, contributed to the fun, only two went on to spend the rest of their lives in music and show business. The first to strike out from the group was Robin Stephen Wyatt (much later Stephen Gold and later still Stephen Wyatt-Gold). The second was David Robert Jones (who was soon to become David Bowie). This is the story of the first, an ambitious showbiz journeyman, set against the rise and rise of the second who has a story already well documented. The memoir takes a sometimes "tongue in cheek" look at how two careers started from the same place and, over time, diverged spectacularly. It covers Arabian nights, African safaris, romance, relationships, military maneuvers and several world tours plus sharing a stage with Morecambe and Wise, drooling over Susan George and seeing in the New Year with Ronnie Corbett. Guitarist, singer, songwriter, cowboy, agent, producer, restaurateur, scriptwriter, manager, and even a bear. A fascinating journey!  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Wyatt-Gold. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/201694/bk_acx0_201694_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
