  The Mortuary Arts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 175min

  Katherine O'Donnell was born with a disfiguring strawberry birthmark across the bottom of her face. In 1880s London, that was enough to discourage suitors. Love was something for which she yearned, but never found within her reach. Out of necessity, she became adept at hiding inside her home and behind makeups she formulated and applied herself. When tragedy upended her modest life and dumped her out onto the streets, she was bereft of options. Desperate, she answered an advertisement for a mortuary assistant, applying makeup to cadavers. She knew what she had to do when asked what skills she possessed that qualified her for the position.

  Old Sam and the Horse Thieves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 174min

  Lee and Johnny Scott are back, and so is Old Sam in this sequel to Old Sam, Dakota Trotter. Despite the disfiguring injury that ended Old Sam's career as a champion thoroughbred trotter, he is still as fast and as canny as ever, an indispensable help for the Scott family in their new home. Then, Old Sam mysteriously goes missing. Johnny figures that any thief who dares to steal that horse will soon be sorry. With the help of Lee and their gang of friends, Johnny soon has things well in hand, finding Old Sam's track, setting up a communication system that works with mirrors and well-placed minions, and generally running circles around his elders. And, of course, Old Sam does not let his boys down. That Johnny also encounters some sobering moments in his headlong pursuit of justice is a sad, perhaps unavoidable consequence in a way of life still on the fringes of civilized society.Both books about Old Sam and the Scott family are based on the author's true-life homesteading experiences in what is now the southeastern region of the state of North Dakota. ungekürzt.

  Whiskey & Witches (The Unlucky Charms, #2) (eBook, ePUB)

  When the golden Son sacrifices for the One, only then can the curse be undone... Carrick O'Malley is living a double life. To shield his son, Aeden, from a horrific truth, he convinced everyone he'd lost his wife in a tragic accident. But over the last eleven months, he's done his job too well, and everyone now despises the woman he sneaks off to visit-the dreaded Witch of the Woods. Roisin O'Malley became an outcast to protect her small family from becoming collateral damage. Posing as her hated sister, Meg, should have made it easy to find whoever suppressed her magic and caused her disfiguring accident. But after months of searching, she's no closer to the truth, and she's finding it increasingly difficult to be away from those she loves. When someone learns Roisin's true identity, the attacks on her and Aeden resume, escalating in intensity. Roisin and Carrick must put aside the differences caused by their separation and work together. If they can discover the link between the attacks and the ancient O'Malley prophecy, perhaps they can save their family and recapture the magic they lost.

  The Private Patient , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 885min

  Cheverell Manor is a lovely old house in deepest Dorset, now a private clinic belonging to the famous plastic surgeon George Chandler-Powell. When investigative journalist Rhoda Gradwyn arrived there one late autumn afternoon, scheduled to have a disfiguring and long-standing facial scar removed, she had every expectation of a successful operation and a pleasant week recuperating. Two days later she was dead, the victim of murder. To Commander Adam Dalgliesh, who with his team is called in to investigate the case, the mystery at first seems absolute. Few things about it make sense. Yet as the detectives begin probing the lives and backgrounds of those connected with the dead woman the surgeon, members of the manor staff, close acquaintances suspects multiply all too rapidly. New confusions arise, including strange historical overtones of madness and a lynching 350 years in the past. Then there is a second murder, and Dalgliesh finds himself confronted by issues even more challenging than innocence or guilt. P. D. James has gained an enviable reputation for creating detective stories of uncommon depth and intricacy, combined with the sort of humanity and perceptiveness found only in the finest novelists. The Private Patient ranks among her very best. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rosalyn Landor. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/001658/bk_rand_001658_sample.mp3.
