Heartland Serial Killers: Belle Gunness, Johann Hoch, and Murder for Profit in Gaslight Era Chicago , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 564min

Johann Hoch was a debonair bigamist and wife killer who boasted of having perfected a scientific technique to romance and seduction. Belle Gunness was a nesting Black Widow whose sprawling farm in Northwest Indiana was a fatal lure for lonely bachelors seeking the comforts of middle-age security by answering matrimonial advertisements placed by Gunness.Notorious in his own day, Hoch had faded into the dark background of Chicago crime history. But, in Heartland Serial Killers, Richard Lindberg brings back vividly the horrors of one of Chicago's first celebrity criminals and uncovers new evidence of a close connection between Hoch and H.H. Holmes, the "Devil in the White City".Unlike Hoch, Belle Gunness, likely the most prolific and infamous female serial killer of the 20th century, has remained fascinating to the public. Here, Lindberg presents the most comprehensive and compelling study of the Gunness case to date, including new information regarding ongoing DNA testing of remains found at the site of Gunness's farm in LaPorte, Indiana, which may serve to resolve once and for all the mystery surrounding Gunness's death.Told in alternating sections and rapidly paced, this audiobook is true crime at its best - gripping, pulpy, and full of sharp historical tidbits. True crime fans, history buffs, and those interested in local lore will delight in this chilling tale of two ruthless killers.The book is published by Northern Illinois University Press.

The Right Stuff: Love in Brazen Bay, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 248min

After being taken to the cleaners by her embezzling bigamist husband, socially awkward academic Tru Stanhope finds herself with one remaining asset: a dive bar in the podunk town of Brazen Bay. Well, half a bar. The other half is owned by the infuriatingly hot Nash McKendrick. He doesn't want to sell, and he really doesn't want his once-silent business partner to have anything to do with his one true love: the pub.Nash liked his solitary life just fine before highbrow and pretentious Tru brought trouble and her little yappy dog to darken his door. She may be an intellectual, but she knows nothing about the real world and shockingly less about men. He's pretty sure he can handle the mousy little scholar. All he had to do is to figure out what makes her tick. She's just a woman, after all. And women tend to fall all over themselves around him. He'll just lay on the charm and sweet talk her into doing what he wants and send her on her way to a life better suited for her so that he can get back to his.But Tru has different ideas. She's tired of the sheltered life she's lived until now. She wants to experience real passion, a real career, and a real purpose in life. And she's decided Nash is going to help her with all three.Author Confession: Welcome to Brazen Bay, a small town I crafted just to explore that feeling of "so wrong it's right". Nash could have any woman he wanted, so I deliberately gave him the one he doesn't want. Because, authors are evil, and I like trouble. I hope you enjoy the "opposites attract" trope as much as I love authoring it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Raven.

Against All Odds: Ten Historical Figures Who Overcome Incredible Adversity, from William the Bastard to Winston Churchill , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min

From the number one best-selling author of Travelers and Explorers That Pushed the Boundaries of the Known World comes an exciting new look at historical figures that overcame unimaginable adversity and the inspirational stories they have left behind for us.Whether it is household names like John Rockefeller (who became the world's first billionaire despite growing up in a log cabin with a bigamist father), Winston Churchill (a has-been politician with a stutter who became England's salvation in World War Two), William the Conqueror (the bastard child of a peasant who conquered England in 1066), or lesser-known people like James Holman (a 19th-century explorer who traveled a distance as far as the Earth to the moon despite being completely blind), each of these people achieved greatness despite the universe putting every obstacle in their way.This audiobook looks at 10 people throughout history who rose to greatness against all odds. Some had to overcome physical challenges, such as Demosthenes, an orphaned boy in ancient Greece with a crippling speech impediment who became the greatest orator of his age. Others overcame mental challenges, such as Abraham Lincoln, whose depression was so great that in his 20s Lincoln's friends thought he would claim his own life...and continued to think so even after he became president. Still others overcame gender barriers, such as Joan of Arc, who engineered France's victory against England in the Hundred Years War despite no military experience, no powerful friends, and no ability to read.Whatever the challenges these incredible people faced, their stories still inspire us today to stop making excuses and discover how much we can really accomplish when we rise up against life's challenges. ungekürzt.
