    Few things in life can be more unnerving than working for a temp agency when next week or next month's job and paycheck are never a certainty. One or two things in my life have gone right lately, but the rest haven't exactly followed the script, which leaves me in the uncertain situation of being a temp worker. It's not all bad because I get to meet new people and try different things now and then. When I started my latest temp job a few weeks ago, I had no idea just how many exciting new things I would be doing. It really is quite the amazing story. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    When the historic Hopkins ferry was raised from the bottom of the lake, who would have thought they were literally raising the dead! But there it was—a skeleton—right before their eyes. Unfortunately, the evidence is slim and soggy: the boat sank in 1949, the victim on board was a woman, and near the body is a piece of unidentifiable lacelike fabric. Sounds like a job for Betsy Devonshire. Betsy knows there's more to this story than what’s on the surface. And once she and patrons of her needlecraft shop start lending a hand, they're sure to stitch together the details of this unnerving mystery... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susan Boyce.

    Maya's been able to get by in New York on her wits and a dead-end bookstore job for years, but when her husband leaves her and her favorite professor ends their affair, her barely-calibrated life descends into chaos, and she has to make some choices. Maya's struggle to be alone, to be a woman, and to be thoughtful and imperfect and alive in a world that doesn't really care what happens to her is rendered with dead-eyed clarity and unnerving charm. This book takes every tired trope about addiction and recovery, "likeable" characters, and redemption narratives and blows them to pieces. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emily Woo Zeller.

Kian survives some unnerving and vicious encounters but is unswerving in his desire to make the long journey home to his territory even though it is apparent his owner is dead and that there will be no welcome from the cruel man who has taken over the house.
