The Gordonston Ladies Dog Walking Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
Little is what it seems to be in a leafy Savannah neighborhood as members of an afternoon cocktail and dog walking club mourn a neighbor’s death. Jealousies surface when friends vie for the widower running for mayor. An old woman with an infamous uncle plots to avenge a wrong. Memories haunt a once successful children’s writer. And a model has won the trip of a lifetime. But a killer lurks and secrets unfold, as does a web of deceit. Is anyone really who he or she seems to be? A mysterious South American, a young Italian count, and a charitable nephew add suspicion and intrigue, as do an enigmatic organization linked to organized crime, a handsome firefighter, and three widows with hidden agendas. What’s a retired accountant’s secret, and why did a former showgirl really have plastic surgery? The plot thickens, the Georgia temperature rises, and someone is destined for an early unmarked grave. The truth contorts to a climax that leaves readers breathless. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David de Vries.

The Monster Club, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 153min
Four friends live on the same street, go to the same middle school, and even spend time on the same ball fields. Their friendship comes with the normal expected trappings: small jealousies, crushes, rivalries and lots and lots of fun. But there is something else they soon discover. They share the same blessing, the same curse. They can recognize monsters hiding behind normal faces. As they learn that each possess a special gift (sight, smell, hearing, and the ability to go undetected), they realize a neighbor, a teacher at their school is actually a monster of unspeakable terror bent on creating an army of slaves to do his bidding. Worse, the group has little time to convince anyone of what they see. But who would ever believe them? The Monster Club works against the clock to save their sleepy, beach-side town and rid it of this monster once and for all. Someone might get hurt, but there is no time to be afraid. ungekürzt.

The Haunted Air: Repairman Jack Series, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 953min
Repairman Jack doesn’t believe a house can be haunted. But he’s about to change that tune… In the borough of Queens, just across the river from Manhattan, two clever practitioners of spiritualist hocus-pocus use high-tech tricks to dupe their marks. Perhaps they’re too good: they’ve lured too many clients from other mediums and are now under attack. Unable to go to the police for fear of exposing their own scams, they hire Repairman Jack to fix their problem. Jack takes the job, figuring he’ll straighten out the situation through one of his favorite pastimes: scamming a scammer. But soon he learns that this fix-it job may involve more than just professional jealousies. A sudden earthquake and a tortured scream mark the awakening of something in Menelaus Manor, something that used to be someone - an entity full of rage that was brought back for a specific purpose. But this entity has an agenda of its own.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Price. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/brll/004885/bk_brll_004885_sample.mp3.

Jackie and Campy: The Untold Story of Their Rocky Relationship and the Breaking of Baseball's Color Line , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 461min
As star players for the 1955 World Champion Brooklyn Dodgers, and prior to that as the first black players to be candidates to break professional baseball's color barrier, Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella would seem to be natural allies. But the two men were divided by a rivalry going far beyond the personality differences and petty jealousies of competitive teammates. Behind the bitterness were deep and differing beliefs about the fight for civil rights. Robinson, the more aggressive and intense of the two, thought Jim Crow should be attacked head-on; Campanella, more passive and easygoing, believed that ability, not militancy, was the key to racial equality. Drawing on interviews with former players such as Monte Irvin, Hank Aaron, Carl Erskine, and Don Zimmer, Jackie and Campy offers a closer look at these two players and their place in a historical movement torn between active defiance and passive resistance. William C. Kashatus deepens our understanding of these two baseball icons and civil rights pioneers and provides a clearer picture of their time and our own. ungekürzt. Language: English.
