The Story I Never Told: The Life I Never Lived Mystery Biography Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
It all started with a castle. Yes, the real kind, found in Missouri. On a bluff. Carved from the side of a cliff. With secret passageways, and locked doors and secret, concealed rooms and lots of false walls and panels and cubbyholes. When Jae visited the well-renowned Rothwell Lodge, known as Sedalia Missouri's Castle on the Hill, she was suspicious from the first. Why did Rothwell have so many secret things about the Castle? Why was his wife Hattie a recluse, who died two years after their marriage? And why, to top it all, are there so many parallels between Rothwell Lodge and the sinister Rothwell Castle in Scotland? Meanwhile, as Jae is solving one mystery, she is plunged into the middle of another. Teaching school to beautiful, big-eyed Gypsy children seems such a wonderful opportunity. But when she gets there, she comes face to face with one of the most invincible Mafia gangs in the world. When she realizes, sitting in her bedroom at the Mennonite mission, that she is in a den of thieves, she wonders, "God, am I ever going to see my family again?" And what about Nick, the sweet widower with the two little children she met on the train? Would she ever see him again either? This audiobook is a sequel to The Life I Never Lived, and like it, is also a true story, with the exception of a few details. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wendy Almeida.

Mistletoe and Murder: The Daisy Dalrymple Mysteries, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 466min
Seething resentments, well-kept family secrets, and a savage murder set the stage for Christmas in Cornwall in this cozy holiday installment of the Daisy Dalrymple mysteries. In December 1923, the formidable Dowager Viscountess Dalrymple has decided that for Christmas the family will all gather at Brockdene in Cornwall at the invitation of Lord Westmoor. Her daughter - Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher - is somewhat less than pleased but yields to the demands of her mother, especially as she'll be there just before the holidays working on another article for Town and Country about the estate itself. But the family gathering quickly goes awry. Brockdene, it seems, is occupied only by the Norvilles - poor relations of Lord Westmoor - and Westmoor himself won't be joining them. So Daisy; her husband, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard; and their family must spend their Christmas holiday trapped in an ancestral estate with a rich history of lore, ghost stories, and rumors of hidden treasure and secret passageways with a family seething with resentments, grudges, and a faintly scandalous history. The veneer of civility that pervades the halls of Brockdene, however, begins to wear thin when long-held family secrets threaten to bubble over, and one of the Christmas guests is found savagely murdered. With few clues as to who committed the murder, and with too many motives as to why, it is once again up to Daisy to sort out the truth that lies beneath a generation of poisonous secrets. ungekürzt.

Secret Doors of the Earth: The Hidden Influence of Ancient Aliens and Sacred Geography on Human History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 287min
How many worlds exist within the earth we see every day? Though there are many mysteries we cannot even imagine, the scientific discoveries and inventions of recent decades - along with myth, folklore, and various unexplainable events that have been recorded down through time - suggest to French scientist Jacques Bergier that the surface of the earth may be more complex, and its history more incredible, than is generally supposed. Among the possibilities he puts forth in this astonishing new book:There may be secret doors of the earth, phenomenal subterranean passageways to other dimensions. Extraordinary beings among us, who are as old as the planet, have formed secret societies to safeguard and propagate a body of knowledge known only to themselves. Because this knowledge is transmitted genetically, these people initiate into their societies only those beings with similar chromosomal makeup; these are "the immortals in our midst". The centers of energy these secret societies create probably communicate with extraterrestrial intelligences in the galaxy, exchanging information by means of the "collapsars" (black holes) in space. Interdimensional portals have dispensed "powers" to humans, such as Charles Mallory Hatfield, the amazing rainmaker; Goethe's physicians, alchemists with superior knowledge who saved his life; and Louis Rodgers, who is said to have been seen repeatedly in two different places at the same time. Citing also authors as diverse as H. P. Lovecraft, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Teilhard de Chardin, Bergier opens a mind-boggling vista of unexpected mysteries. In the hierarchy of this universe, to paraphrase de Chardin, the fantastic alone has a chance of being real. Secret Doors of the Earth is not science fiction but an interpretation of "improbable facts" that will stir and challenge your imagination. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jason Flintham.

From award-winning novelist Wendy Webb comes a spine-tingling, modern-day haunted house story set on Lake Superior. Grace Alban has spent 20 years away from her childhood home, the stately Alban House on the shores of Lake Superior - for reasons she would rather forget. But when her mother’s unexpected death brings Grace and her teenage daughter home, she finds more than just her own personal demons haunting the halls and passageways of Alban House. Long-buried family secrets, a packet of old love letters, and a lost manuscript plunge Grace into a decades-old mystery about a scandalous party at Alban House during which a world-famous author took his own life and Grace’s aunt disappeared without a trace. That night has been shrouded in secrecy by the powerful Alban family for all of these years, and Grace realizes her family secrets tangle and twist as darkly as the hidden passages of Alban House. Her mother was intending to tell the truth about that night to a reporter on the very day she died. Could it have been murder, or was she a victim of the supposed Alban curse? With the help of the disarmingly kind - and attractive - Reverend Matthew Parker, Grace must uncover the truth about her home and its curse before she and her daughter become the next victims. Wendy Webb has woven a suspenseful mystery that skillfully skirts the boundary between what is paranormal and what is psychological.
