One Voice Chronological: The Consummate Holmes Canon, Collection 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 267min
A Scandal In Bohemia: Holmes is hired by the King of Bohemia to recover blackmail evidence, held by the woman whom the king once promised to marry, but who was abandoned for a woman of noble birth. "The Red-Headed League": Holmes (and Doyle) pull out all the stops in this classic story. Of all the many excellent tales of Sherlock Holmes, this must rate amongst the most perplexing of them all. Why would a pawnbroker have to copy out in long-hand the complete Encyclopaedia Britannica, word for word, and what bearing can the knees of a man's trousers have on the case? "A Case of Identity": Miss Mary Sutherland, angry and beside herself with feelings of loss, asks Sherlock Holmes to solve the sudden, mysterious disappearance of a shy and attentive man she has grown to love, upon the very day they were to be married. "The Boscombe Valley Mystery": Holmes is brought into the investigation of what appears to be a simple, obvious case of a son murdering his father, shortly after the son was seen by witnesses near, and at, the scene of the man's death. "The Five Orange Pips": A young man comes to Holmes for help, fearing that the unknown forces that have brought about the deaths of his uncle and father will soon visit him as well. "The Man with the Twisted Lip": Holmes' search for Neville St. Clair has led him to the opium dens of Upper Swandam Lane, where the "disappearance" of many souls in this vile alley is a sobering fact of life. St. Clair's distraught wife has seen him there in one of the dens, but he has vanished just as suddenly. With no body, seemingly deprived of sufficient evidence, and bereft of insight, Holmes appears unable to solve the case. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Ian Davies.

Missing: Gone but Not Forgotten , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 242min
Based on an actual abduction that has never been solved, filled with drugs, violence, and lies. Missing - Gone but Not Forgotten is about the abduction of a little girl in a rural Florida community. Drugs, family feuds, underage sex, and lots of lies abound. Since this is a fictionalized version, my biggest challenge is to keep it exciting and still true to the real life case upon which the story is based. Excerpt: Jon unsnapped his gun from its holster but didn’t remove it. Clair reached toward the Colt Official Police Pistol strapped at small of her back and nodded at her partner to let him know she was ready and prepared for anything. Jon rapped hard on the door, “Sheriff's Department responding to your call. Please open the door.” When the trailer became silent and the door swung open, Clair's first thought was this was another child in the family. The person standing in the doorway was about five foot three or four, thin to the point of emaciated, with long brown hair straggling in her face. She was wearing a rumpled tee and a pair of skinny jeans and tennis shoes. Her large blue eyes with a totally blank expression gave the only hint that this was 17 year old Autumn Daily, the person reporting the missing child. She looked like she was stoned out of her mind on some strong chemicals. Behind her loomed a man a bit over six foot in his mid-20s. He had dark short hair, a small mustache, and weighing about 160 with enough muscle to take on either detective. His knuckles were bloody as if he had been punching something, or someone. He clarified that by slamming his fist into the trailer's side. “It's about damn time you get here. Some fucker took my daughter! If I find ‘em, I'll kill 'em so you better get them first.” “Calm down, Mr. Shatner. We're going to find whoever took your daughter but we need some background...." ungekürzt. Language: English.

Bridgerton Collection Volume 3 (eBook, ePUB)
An enchanting collection containing books seven and eight of #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn's beloved Regency-set Bridgerton novels, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix —It's in His Kiss and On the Way to the Wedding—as well as the first book in her Bridgerton Prequel series, Because of Miss Bridgerton. It's in His Kiss Gareth St. Clair's ignoble father is determined to ruin his inheritance. Gareth's sole bequest is an old family diary, which may hold the key to his future. The problem is it's written in Italian. Hyacinth Bridgerton has offered to translate. She's fiendishly smart, devilishly outspoken, and according to Gareth, best in small doses. But there's something equally charming and vexing about her that draws him in. As they delve into the mysterious text, these two might discover that the answers they seek lie in each other . . . and that there is nothing as simple—or as complicated—as a single, perfect kiss. On the Way to the Wedding Gregory Bridgerton believes he has found his dream woman. Unfortunately, the ravishing Miss Hermione Watson is in love with another. Her best friend, the ever-practical Lady Lucinda Abernathy, wants to save Hermione from a disastrous alliance, and offers to help Gregory win her heart. In the process, Lucy falls in love—with Gregory! But she is already engaged, and her uncle is not inclined to let her out of the betrothal. Now, on the way to the wedding, Gregory must risk everything to ensure that when it comes time to kiss the bride, he is the only man standing at the altar... Because of Miss Bridgerton Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. As a child, tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate. George may be the heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying, and she's certain he detests her. She can't stand the sight of him either. But when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, sparks begin to fly. They just might discover that the one person they can't abide is the one person they can't live without...- Shop: buecher
