Death on the Rocks , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min
Hired to investigate a seemingly accidental death, a PI discovers a perverse secret. Denver oilman Phillip Townsend is alone in his Jaguar when he drives off the cliff. The police call it an accident, but his widow, half mad with grief, insists it was murder. Her husband was quiet, cautious, boring - so what was he doing on the outskirts of Denver, driving drunk down a lonely mountain road? The Townsends’ lawyer hires Jacob Lomax to look into the matter, letting him know that it would be best if the official version of the story were quietly confirmed. An ex-cop who became a detective in the wake of his wife’s murder, Lomax is too dedicated to his work to simply parrot a police report. Digging through the dead man’s office, he finds a tape that shows Townsend and an accomplice binding, gagging, and raping a teenage girl. The most boring millionaire in Denver, it seems, had a secret that was worth killing for. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Dikeos.

This week on Car Talk, while Mom is away, her kids will – hold a peeing contest on her Mercury Villager? That's what Sarah from New Jersey thinks happened when she took a weekend off and came back to a nauseating new aroma in her car. Will the Car Talk Olfactory Forensics Unit get the kids off the hook? Elsewhere on the home front, Barry and his wife are arguing over whether his lead foot is the cause of the bug convention taking place on his windshield, and Ronnie and her husband need refereeing over whether buying a black car in Florida is going to lead to flambeed tuchuses. Meanwhile, if you're looking for some actual car problems, Sandy's got a muffler-like noise that isn't coming from her muffler, and Michrie's DIY engine rebuild may have caused a DIY valve leak. And, did you hear the one about the parrot and the magician? All this and lots more, this week on Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: May 8, 2010] Language: English.

Strange Company , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 113min
In Strange Company, a delightful collection of short essays, Jean Ryan brings us closer to the natural world. From lizards to lady bugs, from the inscrutable sloth to the resplendent quetzal, Ryan reveals some of our commonalities with earth's creatures and hints at the lessons we might learn from them. Do lizards fall in love? What do sloths think about all day? Why is the blood of a horseshoe crab so valuable? Do starlings flock for fun? Can a parrot serve as a therapist? Do turtles ever grow bored with their long lives? Why would a crow foster a kitten? Can snails be fearless? These are just a few of the questions Ryan poses in Strange Company as she invites the listener on a wild journey through land, sea and sky. While these essays acknowledge our responsibility to Mother Nature, the insights they offer are affirmative and heartening. With her precise, elegant prose, Ryan draws us into the tantalizing world of animals and their oddities. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nikiya Palombi.

The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society, Hörbuch, Digital, 270min
The good life abroad just keeps getting better as Chris Stewart, one-time Genesis drummer turned sheepshearer and best-selling writer, returns with a new book on his life in the decidedly oddball region of Las Alpujarras, south of Granada. The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society finds Chris and his family still living on their farm, El Varo -- but life there never stands still. You will find yourself laughing out loud as Chris is instructed by his daughter on the way to treat dung beetles, bluffs his way as an art history guide to millionaire Bostonians, collects seeds in North Africa, and joins an Almond Blossom Appreciation Society. And you'll cringe as he tries his hand at office work in an immigrants' advice centre in Granada. In this sequel to Driving over Lemons and A Parrot in a Pepper Tree, Chris Stewart's optimism and zest for life is as infectious as ever. Language: English. Narrator: Chris Stewart.
