    The Wisdom of Father Brown , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min
    G. K. Chesterton’s Father Brown is perhaps the most lovable amateur detective ever created. This short, shabby priest with his cherubic, round face attracts situations that baffle everyone - except Father Brown and his rather naïve wisdom. The twelve enthralling stories in this book take Father Brown from London to Cornwall, from Italy to France, as he gets involved with bandits, treason, murder, curses, and an American crime-detection machine. And every problem he comes up against he solves with a simplicity of argument that leaves the other characters wondering, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Stories include: “The Absence of Mr. Glass,” “The Paradise of Thieves,” “The Duel of Dr. Hirsch," “The Man in the Passage” “The Mistake of the Machine” “The Head of Caesar” “The Purple Wig” “The Perishing of the Pendragons,” “The God of the Gongs,” “The Salad of Colonel Cray,” “The Strange Crime of John Boulnois” “The Fairy Tale of Father Brown” G. K. CHESTERTON (1874–1936) authored thousands of works, including compilations of his voluminous journalism, novels, short stories, essays, biography, history, criticism, Christian apologetics, poetry, and plays. His work is characterized by tremendous zest and energy, a mastery of paradox, a robust humor, and forthright devotion. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Frederick Davidson.

    Love's Sure Dawn: An Eagle Harbor Novel Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 568min
    No matter how hard she tries to help, Rebekah Cummings always ends up causing more problems than she solves. This time, though, things will be different. She'll find a way to pay her family's debts, even if doing so requires leaving her beloved town of Eagle Harbor. Maybe then her family will start treating her as a woman capable of making her own choices.  Gilbert Sinclair is going to marry an heiress. With his latest business venture sunk at the bottom of Lake Superior, he needs money to replace the steamship he lost. He heads to Chicago, where his father's business connections should land him a suitable wife. Like most things in his meticulously planned life, everything goes as expected - until he discovers Rebekah Cummings working as the new cook on his ship.   Rebekah well remembers the pain she endured the last time she tried trusting Gilbert, and Gilbert can't afford to pursue the love of a working-class woman. But they can't stop forgotten feelings swirling between them - or ignore the sacrifices they'd both have to make in order to be together. Do Rebekah and Gilbert have the strength to face their past mistakes and forge a happy future for themselves? ungekürzt.

    Magpie Murders: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 948min
    From the New York Times best-selling author of Moriarty and Trigger Mortis, this fiendishly brilliant, riveting thriller weaves a classic whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie into a chilling, ingeniously original modern-day mystery. When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. After working with the best-selling crime writer for years, she's intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan's traditional formula has proved hugely successful. So successful that Susan must continue to put up with his troubling behavior if she wants to keep her job. Conway's latest tale has Atticus Pünd investigating a murder at Pye Hall, a local manor house. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but the more Susan reads, the more she's convinced that there is another story hidden in the manuscript: one of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder. Masterful, clever, and relentlessly suspenseful, Magpie Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage English crime fiction in which the listener becomes the detective. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Death to All Sacred Cows: How Successful Businesses Put the Old Rules Out to Pasture , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 250min
    Three award-winning advertising executives prove that in business, Sacred Cows deserve to die. Don't get us wrong. While the authors have nothing against cows in general (they love steak) they do have a problem with Sacred Cows: Blindly doing things because...well...that's the way they've always been done. Formulas may be comforting, but they rarely work in the real world. For example: Always Trust Your Research. BANG. Research should be used to demystify decisions, not make them for you. The Customer Is Always Right. BANG. Except in those instances when they are woefully wrong. Always Focus on Solving the Problem. BANG. Focusing instead on the opportunity not only solves the problem but leads to more imaginative and lasting solutions. Follow the Leader. BANG. Doing so only plays to his strengths, not yours. After all, he drives the category. Focus on the Numbers. BANG. Great numbers are a by-product of great strategies. Teams Create the Best Solutions. BANG. Team dynamics usually kill great ideas. Internal Competition Leads to Better Results. BANG. It only leads to resentment.In this hysterically irreverent and wise book, Beau Fraser, David Bernstein, and Bill Schwab share their successful approach to euthanizing Sacred Cows through humorous and vivid real-world, global examples. ungekürzt.

    The Gatehouse: Lady Eleanor Mysteries, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 499min
    A deaf aristocrat fights to protect all he loves from a killer he cannot hear Moments before the wedding, Christopher Sterry finds the groom, his twin brother, murdered. One would expect Christopher to become the next Earl of Longford. No one would be surprised if he married his twin's almost-bride, Helen Grove. She is, after all, his closest friend and confidante. Except Christopher is deaf in an inflexible world that believes a deaf mute is no better than a barbaric half-wit, unfit to be an earl and quite capable of murdering his brother. Helen waits at the altar while her groom lies murdered in the folly. But there is no time to mourn. Christopher is in danger and so, it appears, is she. Born to marry the earl of Longford, whoever that may be, Helen ignores her own risks and crosses into the line of fire to protect the man who holds her heart. Lady Eleanor solves crimes more thoroughly than any male magistrate. So when Christopher, her godson, is condemned without evidence, she sets out to prove both his innocence and his competence as earl. If she fails, Christopher will die...or be returned to an asylum worse than hell. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mary Sarah Agliotta.

    Pudd'nhead Wilson: A Tale by Mark Twain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 331min
    Pudd'nhead Wilson, like many other Mark Twain books, was read aloud by the author to his wife and daughters, chapter by chapter, as it was being written. This humorous, dramatic, and sometimes shocking novel, set in the pre-war south, is the tale of Roxy, a beautiful and intelligent slave woman who contrives to save her own light-skinned child from being "sold down the river". She successfully switches her baby with the master's own child, starting a chain of events that lead to surprising and tragic results. This book is considered by many to be Mark Twain's best book dealing with the cruelty, horror, and inhumanity of slavery in 19th century America. Pudd'nhead, the title character, not only provides humorous aphorisms and wry observations on the little river town, he also proves to be the catalyst that solves the mystery, radically changing the lives of all of those involved. Interestingly, Mark Twain's use of fingerprints as evidence in a fictional criminal trial predated the official acceptance of such evidence in actual U.S. courts by two years. This recording is a recreation of Mark Twain's own reading, just as his family might have heard the story for the first time in the family library. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Skeletons of Scarborough House: Chapelwick Mysteries, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 567min
    Welcome to Chapelwick, a leafy English town in the hills of Shropshire, where chocolate fudge cake comes served with a side of murder. Scarborough House is haunted, and it's not doing much for Donovan Scarborough's investment portfolio. No one wants to buy a place with levitating crockery, or (the wrong kind of) rhythmic pounding throughout the night. Luckily, Melody "I-See-Dead-People" Bittersweet has just launched her own ghostbusting agency with best friend Marina, geeky, keen Arthur, and a one-eared pug called Lestat. They're quick to take the case, even if it has already sort of (definitely) been given to Leo Dark, Melody's rakish, despicable ex. Melody soon discovers the resident phantoms are three brothers, one who was murdered at 20, while the others lived to old age. But did the family exile the right person, or did the true killer get away with it? Donovan Scarborough doesn't care who solves the case. Whoever gets rid of the ghosts gets paid. Can Melody and her new crew untangle the mystery, and bring the brothers peace, before Leo? Or will his distracting sexiness and Melody's bonkers family cause the agency to fall at its first hurdle? Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cat Gould. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/010160/bk_tant_010160_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
