Samaritan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 899min
Ray Mitchell, a former TV writer who has left Hollywood under a cloud, returns to urban Dempsy, New Jersey, hoping to make a difference in the lives of his struggling neighbors. Instead, his very public and emotionally suspect generosity gets him beaten nearly to death. Ray refuses to name his assailant, which makes him intensely interesting to Detective Nerese Ammons, a friend from childhood, who now sets out to unlock the secret of his reticence. Set against the intensely realized backdrop of urban America, the cat and mouse game that unfolds is both morally complex and utterly gripping. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Allen.

The Reef , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 642min
A challenge to the moral climate of the day, The Reef follows the fancies of George Darrow, a young diplomat en route from London to France, intent on proposing to the widowed Anna Leath. Unsettled by Anna's reticence, Darrow drifts into an affair with Sophy Viner, a charmingly naive and impecunious young woman whose relations with Darrow and Anna's family threaten his prospects for success. The affair becomes the reef on which four lives are in danger of foundering: two of them innocent and two of them burdened with experience and tinged with desperation. This is a story of the drastic effects of a casual sexual betrayal and a clear-eyed assessment of the possibilities and limitations of human love. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Always Happy Hour: Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 382min
Always Happy Hour weaves tales of young women who are deeply flawed, intensely real, and who struggle to get out of their own way. These women love to drink and have sex; they make bad decisions with men who love them too much or too little; they haunt gas stations, public pools, and dive bars, seeking understanding in the most unlikely of places; and, although each shoulders the weight of different baggage, they all suspect they deserve better. In this collection of acerbic and ruefully funny stories, Miller takes a microscope to love and intimacy, evoking the reticence of love among the misunderstood, the grit and comfort of bad habits that can't be broken, and the beat-by-beat minutiae of ill-fated relationships. ungekürzt.

Family Troubles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min
Literary critic, E. A. Koltonovskaya, described the literary style of novelist Maria Krestovskaya as follows, “Her pen, for all its feminine agility, is often remarkable for its nearly masculine reticence. She has none of the chaotic flood of thoughtless emotions, which so frequently plagues the works by female writers. She does not like lyrical diversions and allows her characters to speak and act for themselves. Even during the most dramatic scenes, her tone remains restrained. Her formulation of women’s issues gives one the sense of a broad, universal foundation. There is none of the narrowness, exclusiveness, and bias so prevalent in the topic as described by ideological feminists.” The story that follows is quintessential Krestovskaya - complete with humor, deftly delivered touches of real life, and ample food for thought. ungekürzt.

The Fourth Angel (Georgia Skeehan/FDNY Thrillers, #1) (eBook, ePUB)
Few women make it into the macho ranks of New York City's Bravest-the FDNY-where brute force and brotherhood are the only respected currencies. Fewer still get promoted to arson investigator. But New York City firefighter Georgia Skeehan is no ordinary woman. A single mom and motorcycle enthusiast, she's tormented by a fatal mistake and her own fears that she can never live up to her hero firefighter dad, who died in the line of duty. When a Manhattan building goes up in flames, incinerating dozens of prominent New Yorkers, Georgia is tapped to help solve one of the city's most gruesome arson crimes ever. Everything about this blaze is shrouded in mystery. The biblical intensity of the fire. Its connection to other arsons. The strange reticence within her own department. And most of all, the eerie, scripture-laden taunts of a madman who keeps raising the stakes until even Georgia herself is a target. To stop an even more catastrophic inferno, Georgia will have to wrestle with both the hard science of arson investigation and the backroom politics of big-city firefighting. The only way out of this scorcher is through it.- Shop: buecher

Citizen Clem: A Biography of Attlee , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1605min
Winner of the Orwell Prize for Political Writing. Winner of the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography. Book of the year: The Times, The Sunday Times, New Statesman, The Spectator, Evening Standard. Clement Attlee was the Labour prime minister who presided over Britain's radical postwar government, delivering the end of the empire in India, the foundation of the NHS and Britain's place in NATO. Called 'a sheep in sheep's clothing', his reputation has long been that of an unassuming character in the shadow of Churchill. But as John Bew's revelatory biography shows, Attlee was not only a hero of his age but an emblem of it, and his life tells the story of how Britain changed over the 20th century. Here, Bew pierces Attlee's reticence to examine the intellect and beliefs of Britain's greatest - and least appreciated - peacetime prime minister. ungekürzt. Language: English.
