Not when it means that other young women might be in danger. This cozy historical mystery of romantic suspense is set in the period immediately after the fifth book in the series, Pilfered Promises, and two novellas, Kathleen Catches a Killer and Dandy Delivers.

  Lincoln's Final Hours: Conspiracy, Terror, and the Assassination of America's Greatest President , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 351min

  When John Wilkes Booth fired his Derringer point-blank into President Abraham Lincoln's head, he set in motion a series of dramatic consequences that would upend the lives of ordinary Washingtonians and Americans alike. In a split second, the story of a nation was changed. During the hours that followed, America's future would hinge on what happened in a cramped back bedroom at Petersen's Boardinghouse, directly across the street from Ford's Theatre. There, a 23-year-old surgeon - fresh out of medical school - struggled to keep the president alive while Mary Todd Lincoln moaned at her husband's bedside. In Lincoln's Final Hours, author Kathryn Canavan takes a magnifying glass to the last moments of the president's life and to the impact his assassination had on a country still reeling from a bloody civil war. With vivid, thoroughly researched prose and a reporter's eye for detail, this fast-paced account not only furnishes a glimpse into John Wilkes Booth's personal and political motivations, but also illuminates the stories of ordinary people whose lives were changed forever by the assassination. The book is published by University Press of Kentucky. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Todd Curless. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/062039/bk_acx0_062039_sample.mp3.

  The Charlotte Perkins Gilman Classic Novel: The Crux: (Annotated) with a Study of Themes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 352min

  Unique to this title is: A study of the themes present in The CruxYou may of course skip it and go straight to the main title if you do not want any spoilers and come back later to the beginning. Charlotte Perkins was born in 1860 in Connecticut. When she was a child, her father abandoned his wife and children, and she spent the rest of her childhood in poverty. Since her mother was not able to support the family, her aunts played a big part in her upbringing. Her schooling was erratic and she attended seven different schools in just four years, finishing when she was 15. To prevent her children from getting hurt as she had been, her mother forbade them to make strong friendships or read fiction. Despite that, Gilman spent a lot of time in the local library studying ancient civilizations on her own. The Crux tells the story of a group of New England women who move west to start a boardinghouse for men in Colorado. It is an important early feminist work that brings forward complicated issues of gender, citizenship, eugenics, and frontier nationalism. Enjoy this timeless classic! ungekürzt. Language: English.

  State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America, Hörbuch, Digital, 306min

  Pat Buchanan is sounding the alarm. Since 9/11, more than four million illegal immigrants have crossed our borders, and there are more coming every day. Our leaders in Washington lack the political will to uphold the rule of law. The Melting Pot is broken beyond repair, and the future of our nation is at stake. In this important audiobook, Pat Buchanan reveals that, slowly but surely, the great American Southwest is being reconquered by Mexico. These lands are being detached ethnically, linguistically, and culturally from the United States by a deliberate policy of the Mexican regime. Unless the invasion is halted now, Buchanan argues, America will become a country unrecognizable to our parents, what Theodore Roosevelt warned against when he said we must never let America become "a polyglot boardinghouse" for the world. Laying out a sweeping immigration reform and border security plan, State of Emergency is essential listening for all Americans. With an estimated 10 to 15 million "illegals" already here and tens of millions more poised to pour across our borders, few audiobooks could be as timely or important. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick J. Buchanan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/aren/000557/bk_aren_000557_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
