Murder on a Mississippi Steamboat: A Gripping 1920s Historical Cozy Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 324min
From a nine-time USA Today best-selling author comes a lively and fun 1920s cozy mystery with a brand-new detective duo. Nora elbowed her way up to the railing and looked down. The paddle wheel was making its last turn, dredging up a mass of turquoise chiffon made almost transparent by the water. A hand, its red lacquered fingernails a contrast to the pale white skin, stuck up from a bejeweled cuff....A relaxing cruise down the Mississippi on the Miss Delta Belle steamboat turns to tragedy when celebrity Delilah Dove falls from the deck and is swallowed by the river faster than you can say "man overboard"! It’s touted as a tragic accident, but guests Miss Nora Marsh and her wily great-aunt Julia know a murder when they see one. Can they get justice for Delilah and crack the case without alerting the murderer to their suspicions? As Nora and Julia hunt for clues it emerges that nearly everyone had a reason to want Delilah dead. And that’s bad news for the two sleuths - who want to solve the case pronto, before Mississippi police chief and Aunt Julia’s nemesis Artemis Leonard comes on board at the next port to launch the official investigation. She’s not letting him get the credit if she can help it. With multiple suspects and a series of mysterious thefts onboard - not to mention the distractingly handsome Max Lawton turning Nora’s head - this is shaping up to be one tough case to crack. What started as a gentle river voyage is far from plain sailing. A gripping and witty 1920s murder mystery from best-selling author Leighann Dobbs, perfect for fans of T E Kinsey and Lee Strauss. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sarah Borges.

Our Bodies, Whose Property , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 352min
No one wants to be treated like an object, regarded as an item of property, or put up for sale. Yet many people frame personal autonomy in terms of self-ownership, representing themselves as property owners with the right to do as they wish with their bodies. Others do not use the language of property, but are similarly insistent on the rights of free individuals to decide for themselves whether to engage in commercial transactions for sex, reproduction, or organ sales. Drawing on analyses of rape, surrogacy, and markets in human organs, Our Bodies, Whose Property? challenges notions of freedom based on ownership of our bodies and argues against the normalization of markets in bodily services and parts. Anne Phillips explores the risks associated with metaphors of property and the reasons why the commodification of the body remains problematic.What, she asks, is wrong with thinking of oneself as the owner of one's body? What is wrong with making our bodies available for rent or sale? What, if anything, is the difference between markets in sex, reproduction, or human body parts, and the other markets we commonly applaud? Phillips contends that body markets occupy the outer edges of a continuum that is, in some way, a feature of all labor markets. But she also emphasizes that we all have bodies, and considers the implications of this otherwise banal fact for equality. Bodies remind us of shared vulnerability, alerting us to the common experience of living as embodied beings in the same world. Examining the complex issue of body exceptionalism, Our Bodies, Whose Property? demonstrates that treating the body as property makes human equality harder to comprehend. ungekürzt.

The Wretched Race: The Epic of Ahiram, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1405min
The Epic of Ahiram continues... The Epic of Ahiram is an award-winning high-fantasy adventure that begins with Age of the Seer and its sequel, Wrath of the Urkuun, and now continues with The Wretched Race, the third book of the series. Sarand the Soloist would kill everyone in her path if she knew that 12-year-old Aquilina was alive. Risking everything, Aquilina's guardians bring her to Tirkalanzibar, where a caravan will take her far away from the clutch of the Soloist. But Tirkalanzibar is a city of cutthroats and dark secrets where no one is safe for very long. Aquilina's family and friends get caught in a deadly web of deceit that only she can unravel, at the risk of alerting Sarand of her existence. Further north, Ahiram is on the run. The former slave is trying to reach his homeland in search for clues that might reunite him with his family. But deep within the temple of Babylon, Sharr - the High Priest of Baal and Sarand's superior - hatches a devious plan to inexorably draw the Seer into the Wretched Race. Ahiram's chances of surviving the deadly ordeal are nil, for the Wretched Race was conceived to torment and torture the racers. But Sharr has prepared a trap worse than death to ensnare Ahiram before the Race's end, and bind him to the Temple's will. Still unaware of each other's existence, the two Seers ride the mighty storm, forging a destiny all their own that may one day turn them into the heroes they were meant to be, if only they survive the might of their implacable enemies. ungekürzt.

Ice: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 303min
'Tis the season for mistletoe and holly, Santa . . . and suspense. And the gift that keeps on giving is Ice: premier thriller author Linda Howard's breathless tale of a man, a woman, and a battle for survival against an unforgiving winter - and an unrelenting killer. Oh what fun it is to listen. Gabriel McQueen has only just arrived home on holiday leave from the service when his county-sheriff father sends him back out again with new marching orders. A brewing ice storm, and a distant neighbor who's fallen out of contact, have the local lawman concerned. So he enlists Gabriel to make the long haul to the middle of nowhere, and make sure Lolly Helton is safe and sound. It's a trip the younger McQueen would rather not make, given the bitter winter weather - and the icy conditions that have always existed between him and Lolly. But there's no talking back when your dad is the town's top cop. And there's no turning back when night falls just as Gabriel arrives - and discovers that the weather outside isn't the only thing that's frightful. Spotting strangers in Lolly's home - one of them packing a weapon - is all it takes to kick Gabriel into combat mode. And his stealth training is all he needs to extract Lolly from the house without alerting her captors. But when the escape is discovered, the heat - and the hunt - are on. And the winter woods are nowhere to be once the ice storm touches down, dropping trees, blocking roads, and trapping the fleeing pair in the freezing dark. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Beat the Heart Attack Gene: The Revolutionary Plan to Prevent Heart Disease, Stroke, and Diabetes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 637min
Heart disease is the number-one cause of death in America. It affects 81 million Americans and is the culprit in one of every two deaths in the United States. Most people think that they are not at risk of a heart attack if they control their cholesterol and blood pressure, but they aren't aware of other major risk factors. The good news is that with the right information and strategies, heart attacks are preventable - even if heart disease runs in the family. In Beat the Heart Attack Gene, world-renowned cardiovascular specialists Bradley Bale, MD, and Amy Doneen, ARNP, present a new model for understanding and preventing heart disease. They explain the three different genetic types of cholesterol profiles and tailor treatments for each type, using their cutting-edge Bale/Doneen Method, a simple, comprehensive prevention plan that detects cardiovascular disease (CVD) at early stages. Beat the Heart Attack Gene includes easy quizzes and self-tests that show how to determine cholesterol genotype as well as advice for how to apply that knowledge through nutritional and lifestyle changes. For heart attack and stroke survivors, the Bale/Doneen Method also helps prevent recurrences by identifying and treating what's triggering the patient's disease - a crucial step that many cardiologists neglect. With their proven method utilized by healthcare professionals worldwide, Bale and Doneen empower listeners by alerting them to potential health threats, and then offer personalized, evidence-based strategies so they can live healthy, active lives without fear of heart attack or stroke.
