Natural Causes: A Harry Stoner Mystery, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 538min
Detective Harry Stoner has seen too much of the seamy side of life not to notice the tarnish on Los Angeles's glitter or the gritty reality behind the never-never land of TV's biggest daytime soaps. A detergent manufacturer, already begrimed by scandal and rumor, doesn't want his image further muddied by the mysterious death of the head writer on the daytime series he sponsors. So it's up to Stoner to find out what really happened that sunny August weekend when Quentin Dover took his last shower. What Stoner uncovers is a slick world of high finance and low morals, all powered with cocaine, a sexy blond widow turned on by booze and boys, the broken lives of the men and women who create America's TV fantasies, and the perfect setting for greed, jealousy, and murder. ungekürzt.

Ivy's League: A New Adult Lesbian Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min
Film student Sophie isn't interested in mainstream movies; she's all about documentaries. However, when an opportunity arises for her to work on the set of new romantic comedy And Then I Saw Her, it's too good to turn down. She'll be working with prolific, big-budget director Laura Sellers, and starring in the movie is beautiful Ivy Simone, a beloved upcoming starlet. Laura Sellers is exactly as cynical and interesting as she'd been expecting - but Ivy isn't anywhere close to the raging diva that Sophie was expecting to meet. She's sweet, self-deprecating, and softly-spoken. In fact, she's everything Sophie's been looking for in a partner. Soon, however, the waters are muddied. The mutual attraction she'd felt with Ivy suddenly may not be so mutual after all - and with the last day of filming fast approaching, Sophie's running out of time to figure it all out and work her way up to Ivy's league. ungekürzt.

Death at Victoria Dock: A Phryne Fisher Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 327min
The devastating Phryne Fisher is under fire again in her fourth mystery. A very young man with muddied hair, a pierced ear and a blue tattoo lies cradled in Phryne's arms. But sadly, it's not another scene of glorious seduction - this time it's death. The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher, beautifully dressed in loose trousers, a cream silk shirt and a red-fox fur has just had her windscreen shot out inches in front of her divine nose. But worse is the fate of the pale young man lying on the road, his body hit by bullets, who draws his final blood-filled breath with Phryne at his side. Outraged by this brutal slaughter, Phryne promises to find out who is responsible. But Phryne doesn't yet know how deeply into the mire she'll have to go: bank robbery, tattoo parlours, pubs, spiritualist halls, and the Anarchists. Along this path, Phryne meets Peter, a battle-scarred, sexy Slav, who offers much more to her than just information. But all thoughts of these delights flee from Phryne's mind when her beloved maid, Dot, disappears. There's nothing Phryne won't do to get her back safely. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Sit Down and Cheer: A History of Sport on TV , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 593min
Television and sport is the ultimate marriage of convenience. The two circled each other warily for a while - sport anxious the sofa-bound might spurn the live product, TV reluctant in a limited channel world to hand over too much screen time to flannelled fools and muddied oafs. But they got together, and stayed together, for the sake of the money, and now you cannot imagine one without the other. They are indivisible, like an old couple sitting in a teashop finishing each other's sentences, and there is little doubt which is the dominant partner. You have only to think of the recent sports stars who have left their muddy fields to don sequins, grab partners and tango their way across the stage in ultimate Saturday night television style, to see how far the two have come on their journey together. In Sit Down and Cheer, Martin Kelner traces the development of this relationship from its humble origins in the 1960 Olympics, by way of the first-ever Match of the Day in 1964, through to the financial impact of Sky, right up to the high-tech gadgetry of our present-day viewing. Insightful and very funny, this is an entertaining exploration of two major national pastimes and not to be missed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Martin Kelner.

The Further Education of Mike Carter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 661min
Mike Carter has been a lecturer at Streetbridge College of Further Education for 30 years. He has been the leader of the pack, scourge of college management, seducer of students, colleagues, and wives of colleagues. But now, approaching 60, things are going awry. The younger lecturers are no longer in awe of him, his powers of seduction are declining, and those whom he has offended over the years, sensing his diminishing influence, are seeking to exact revenge. Meanwhile, Marcia Martell, the young, newly appointed principal, is determined to drag the institution into the 21st century in the face of foot-dragging by the older members of her management team and opposition from the lecturers' union. She issues a memorandum to staff imposing a new code of dress and behavior: This is seized by Mike Carter as an opportunity to re-assert his waning influence by leading the fight against her. However, the politics of the workplace are muddied by events in the personal lives of the protagonists, and by antagonisms and jealousies between individuals, generations, and competing interest groups. When sexual tension is added to the mix, the outcome is unpredictable.The author began working in Colleges of FE in 1968. He was a lecturer, an adult education organizer, head of department, and finally a vice principal before retiring in 1995. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph Michael Brugh.

Knuckle Dragging Sales: A Primitive Process for Making More Money , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 218min
According to the US Bureau of Labor statistics, 11 percent of Americans are in sales. Yet ask a room full of children, "Who wants to be a salesperson when you grow up?" and you'll get nothing but blank stares. Why does no one aspire to be a salesperson, yet so many end up in sales? Money! Sales is one of the few professions where you are the income driver. Want more freedom? Security? Impact on the world? Make more money, and you can have it all, right? The legend of a "seven-figure commission club" has lured many into sales. Most realize quickly it's not as easy as it sounds! As John Crowley started on his quest to join this elusive group, he voraciously consumed sales books, podcasts, and more. But when he implemented their suggested hacks, tips, and tricks, his commission decreased. Why? With every new sales technique, he moved further away from the basics. The "experts" of the sales world muddied the waters and made us believe there's a magic bullet to make selling easy. Magic bullets don't exist in sales. Through trial and error and a lot of knuckle dragging, John figured out what worked and what didn't. None of it was "easy"or "magic", but it was simple. You persist and win - or you quit and fail. You hunt and gather - or you starve and die. Even a caveman could understand that. Welcome to the de-evolution revolution of sales! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Will Stauff.
