Obit: A Collins-Burke Mystery, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 652min
Long ago, Declan Burke fled Ireland in the dark of night, started a new life in New York City, and has never looked back - until one morning when he picks up the newspaper and reads the obituary of one Cathal Murphy. He sees at once that the obituary is a coded summary of his own life and probably a thinly veiled death threat. He turns to Halifax lawyer Monty Collins for advice, but when Monty starts to investigate the obit’s allusions to Declan’s IRA past, Declan decides to keep his lips sealed. But keeping old secrets becomes much more difficult after a burst of gunfire at a family wedding and the appearance of Leo Killeen, the commanding officer of Declan’s former battalion in Dublin. Declan and Monty are confronted by a cast of enigmatic characters, including the owner of a nightclub frequented by the New York mob; a sultry chanteuse; and Burke’s hotheaded son Francis, whose resentment and dubious activities set the family on a road to destruction. The subsequent discovery of a body in a rundown Brooklyn flat forces Declan to confront the suspicion that he has been manipulated all along by an unseen hand. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Wallflower
Millionen von Musikfans weltweit sind spätestens seit "The Look Of Love" verzaubert von Diana Krall. Ihr Talent, Jazz Standards in einer unnachahmlich sinnlichen und zugleich zurückhaltenden Art vorzutragen, hat sie zur erfolgreichsten Jazzvokalistin unserer Zeit werden lassen. Die Diskographie der kanadischen Pianistin und Sängerin umfasst viele Alben mit bekannten Songs aus dem Great American Songbook, aber ebenso feierte sie überraschende Erfolge mit Ausnahmeproduktionen wie dem Singer/Songwriter-Werk "The Girl In The Other Room" oder dem vor wenigen Jahren erschienenen "Glad Rag Doll", in dem Produzent T Bone Burnett die Chanteuse in einem ganz anderen Licht erscheinen ließ. Viele, aber nicht alle ihrer Alben wurden Bestseller, bewiesen jedoch den erlesenen Musikgeschmack dieser Ausnahmemusikerin. Mit David Foster in der Produzentenrolle hat Diana Krall nun erstmalig ein ganzes Album aufgenommen. Krall, Jahrgang 1964, hat hierfür Stücke ausgesucht, die sie in jüngeren Jahren sehr beindruckt haben. Und allen Babyboomern dieser Jahrgänge dürfte das ebenso gehen. Songs von den Eagles, von Bob Dylan, von 10cc, von The Mamas And The Papas. Die Produktion ist erstklassig, die Interpretation sucht ihresgleichen. Fans in aller Welt dürften begeistert sein.- Shop: buecher

Blackmail, My Love: A Murder Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 604min
Josie O'Conner travels to San Francisco in 1951 to locate her gay brother, a private dick investigating a blackmail ring targeting lesbians and gay men. Jimmy's friends claim that just before he disappeared he became a rat, informing the cops on the bar community. Josie adopts Jimmy's trousers and wingtips, battling to clear his name, halt the blackmailers, and exact justice for the many queer corpses. Along the way she rubs shoulders with a sultry chanteuse running a dyke tavern called Pandora's Box, gets intimate with a red-headed madam operating a brothel from the Police Personnel Department, and conspires with the star of Finocchio's, a dive so disreputable it's off limits to servicemen - so every man in uniform pays a visit. Blackmail, My Love is a murder mystery deeply steeped in San Francisco's queer history. Established academic and first-time novelist Katie Gilmartin's diverse set of characters negotiate the risks of same-sex desire in a tough time for queers. Humor leavens the grave subject matter. Set in such legendary locations as the Black Cat Cafe, the Fillmore, the Beat movement's North Beach, and the sexually complex Tenderloin, Blackmail, My Love is a singular, visually stunning neo-noir experience. ungekürzt.

Protecting His Assets: Deuces Wild, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 401min, (USK 18)
She's the one woman who can get his ball back in play.... Deuces Wild, book 1. For a while MLB pitcher Chase "Deuce" Dixon used his bad-boy reputation as a smoke screen to cover up his elbow injury. But plummeting pitching stats don't lie, so now he's a free agent, spending the off-season in surgeons' offices and considering a postbaseball career in security. His first night moonlighting as a nightclub bouncer, he's surprised that the singer onstage is his little sister's pure, sweet, spitfire of a best friend. And some drunk guy is getting way too personal. Summer Maitland doesn't need Chase strong-arming one of the few fans she's managed to accumulate during the career she keeps secret from her family. And despite her body's shimmering reaction to his touch, she certainly doesn't need a self-appointed bodyguard following her around. Chase has other ideas. If anyone's going to lay a hand on Summer, it's going to be him. Now, if only he could keep his tongue out of her mouth long enough to keep her safe. And his hands to himself before he scares her off. Warning: Contains an ace hurler moonlighting as a bouncer moonlighting as a bodyguard and an angel-voiced chanteuse who's up for anything he can throw at her - in and out of the bedroom. This one could make you rethink the definition of fastball. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Arden. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/inbl/000091/bk_inbl_000091_sample.mp3.

The Complete Katie Connell Trilogy: A Three-Novel Romantic Mystery Box Set From the What Doesn't Kill You Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1741min
Katie Connell is a high-strung attorney whose sloppy drinking habits and stunted love life collide hilariously during a doomed celebrity case in Dallas. She flees Texas for the Caribbean and escapes professional humiliation, a broken heart, and a wicked Bloody Mary habit, but ends up trading one set of problems for another when she begins to investigate the suspicious deaths of her parents on the island of St. Marcos. She's bewitched by the voodoo spirit of an abandoned house in the rainforest and discovers that she's as much a danger to herself as the island's bad guys are. One unexpected and hotly fought-over little boy, two dead bodies, and a series of home vandalisms throw Texas attorney turned island chanteuse Katie Connell into a tizzy. Juggling all of this, Bloody Mary cravings, baggage, and the bad guys too, she waffles between the house that brought her back from the brink and the man she believes is the love of her life. Katie's already on edge when a dead guy shows up at Estate Annalise and shady locals claim there are slave remains in the foundation, but when her husband doesn't come home to her and the kids one day after work, she's ready to lose it. A frantic Katie launches a Caribbean-wide manhunt, calling on her stoic, steady father-in-law, and Collin, her badass big brother, to help her search air, land, and sea for her husband, who may be in very big trouble indeed. ungekürzt.

She Murdered Me with Science , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 647min
It's 1953, and disgraced scientist Noel Glass works as a PI to redeem himself for a deadly experiment that cost the lives of six people, including his fiancée's. In walks a rich recluse who offers information that Glass was framed for the deadly accident. As Glass struggles to clear his name, he uncovers an evil organization bent on using his own invention for world domination. Who can Glass trust when everyone is keeping secrets? His mysterious Japanese sidekick - Wan Lee? The sultry blues singer - Merlot Sterling? The man-mountain bodyguard - Vincent Richmond? From the desolate streets of Industry City, Colorado, to a showdown in Chi-town, Glass encounters death at every turn. As he's pursued by two Mayan hit men determined to make him history, Glass must rediscover the self he lost years ago and face off against the one ghost he swore he laid to rest. She Murdered Me with Science blends detective noir with the pulp science fiction of the '40s and '50s. A child science prodigy, Glass uses forensics to solve crimes long before it was considered a legitimate resource for the police. He's part Sherlock Holmes - part Mike Hammer. Through his quest, Glass interacts with historical figures like J. Edgar Hoover, DNA scientist James Watson, and photojournalist Art Shay. The story interweaves true events from the beginnings of the Cold War era with a fictional Armageddon. Glass also gets drawn into the growing racial tensions of the times, including the Trumple Park Riots, because of his femme fatale, the chanteuse Merlot. Cut from classic females of the era, Merlot takes no prisoners on stage or in the bedroom. She Murdered Me with Science is laced with the blues, packed with action, and armed to kill. ungekürzt.

Reeling Backwards (eBook, ePUB)
'Raymond writes of all he has loved in a backwards-travelling anthology that brings together the great events of Brisbane history and the small events of daily life. He writes about wars and extermination and convicts on the triangle in Queen Street. He writes about a possum like a "friendly lout" and boiled eggs and honey on the breakfast table. Old, wild love affairs begin and end in these poems. We meet Bob Dylan and remember Enid Blyton and creaming soda and afternoon matinees with Danny Kaye. It is a mixture of joy, sadness, rage, laughter and passion, celebrating a life that has been full of surprises. Give yourself a treat and read Reeling Backwards slowly.' - Sandra Hogan, author of With My Little Eye 'With the mind of a historian and the soul of an artist, Evans turns his gaze back over a life lived large and fierce - determined to resist the hidebound milieu and humid statis of his home city, Brisbane. Reeling Backwards plays at the knotty edges of nostalgia, bending and folding time around place, while pausing to catch all the fleeting, sensory moments that make up an abundant life. Each poem is a skipping stone, a gentle disturbance, nicking the surface and rippling outwards.' - Melanie Myers, award-winning author of Meet Me at Lennons'Careful readers of Raymond Evans's histories always sensed he was a poet at heart. In this collection, he demonstrates this truth. The poems, which "arrived out of the blue", are personal and historical - a moving lesson in how to understand who we are and where we come from - individually and collectively. Read and savour.' - Julianne Schultz, author and former editor of Griffith Review'Raymond Evans writes of history, home and heart with wisdom and warmth. From an empty house to a childhood home filled with love. Travelling backwards through time across a life portrayed in sensuous images. So lovely to read - highly recommended.' - Edwina Shaw, author and editor of Bjelke Blues'A rollicking ride...and fun! Piercing in its emotional description of intangible realities we can all relate to. Such powerful, astute observations about secrets of the heart, granting permission to own and acknowledge one's often discarded sensibilities - written with intellect and artistry. Bravo! Contemporary and enthralling!' - Sue Smithers, international model, actress and jazz chanteuse- Shop: buecher
