    Missing, Presumed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 796min
    Mid-December, and Cambridgeshire is blanketed with snow. Detective Sergeant Manon Bradshaw tries to sleep after yet another soul-destroying Internet date - the low murmuring of her police radio her only solace. Over the airwaves come reports of a missing woman - door ajar, keys and phone left behind, a spatter of blood on the kitchen floor. Manon knows the first 72 hours are critical: you find her, or you look for a body. And as soon as she sees a picture of Edith Hind, a Cambridge postgraduate from a well-connected family, she knows this case will be big. Is Edith alive or dead? Was her 'complex love life' at the heart of her disappearance, as a senior officer tells the increasingly hungry press? And when a body is found, is it the end or only the beginning? ungekürzt.

The door stood ajar, which was curious. Siobhan should have been at work. When Samantha peered in, she could just see the outline of two ominous figures skulking in the gloom. She gasped and slammed the door shut. She could hear their muffled shouts as she flew, screaming, down the stairs into the street.Gripped with fear, and shielding her face from the driving rain, Samantha dodged between jousting umbrellas and the spray from the headlong rush of the traffic that threatened to thwart her escape.A Person of Interest thrills and excites with romance and danger in this debut mystery novel by Ardelle Holden. ungekürzt.

    Ravenhill Court , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 145min
    Present day... A man returns to a long-abandoned neighborhood. Doors stand ajar, shutters hang open, lawns and landscaping are unkempt. The man sits on the curb and opens a leather-bound journal. Through the journal, he recalls the events that took place in Ravenhill decades earlier. Journey back to 1964... The man is just a boy. He and his friends find that their neighborhood, a cul-de-sac set into the foothills along the California coast, is not all that it appears. There are strange happenings - some amazing, some terrifying, and all pointing to the fact that this little community of families might just be something other than what the rest of the world perceives it to be. Thirteen year-old Ben Foster, along with his friends Peter and Louis, and his older sister, Julie, set out to find the secret behind the peculiar events that the outside world doesn't see and that those living in the neighborhood either choose to ignore or are conspiring to keep hidden. Young Peter will set the tales down in his journal, which years later a grown Ben Foster will clasp as the last surviving corroboration of their adventures and of their astonishing discovery. ungekürzt.

    Du hast das Leben vor dir
    Der Araberjunge Momo lebt im Pariser Stadtviertel Belleville gemeinsam mit anderen Ziehkindern bei Madame Rosa, einer alten Prostituierten, die als Jüdin in Auschwitz war. Unwissend, wie alt er ist, wer seine Eltern sind, macht er sich auf ihre Äußerungen und die anderen Härten des Lebens seinen Reim. Mit großen Augen streunt er durch die Straßen, lässt sich von reichen Frauen ansprechen. Mit Monsieur Hamil, dem Teppichhändler, der alles gesehen hat, tauscht er sich über die Liebe aus, und die angeschlagene Madame Rosa, die einen Aufzug verdient hätte, hievt er die Stufen des sechsstöckigen Hauses hinauf, in dem Huren, Transvestiten, Waisen, Schwarze und Araber zusammenleben. Als ihr Tod naht, begleitet er sie in ihr "jüdisches Versteck" im Keller."Du hast das Leben vor dir" löste 1975 in der französischen Literaturwelt einen nie da gewesenen Skandal aus. Romain Gary hatte seinen Roman über die Beziehung zwischen dem Araberjungen und der jüdischen Ex-Prostituierten unter dem Pseudonym Émile Ajar veröffentlicht und erhielt dafür zum zweiten Mal den Prix Goncourt - was die Regeln des renommierten Literaturpreises verbieten. In über 30 Sprachen übersetzt und mehrfach verfilmt, wurde es Garys erfolgreichstes Buch. Die Neuübersetzung von Christoph Roeber gibt der Erzählstimme des heranwachsenden Momo einen zeitgemäßen Ton.

    Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew'd: A Flavia de Luce Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 540min
    Hailed as "a combination of Eloise and Sherlock Holmes" by The Boston Globe, Flavia de Luce returns in a much anticipated new Christmas mystery from award-winning and New York Times best-selling author Alan Bradley. In spite of being ejected from Miss Bodycote's Female Academy in Canada, 12-year-old Flavia de Luce is excited to be sailing home to England. But instead of a joyous homecoming, she is greeted on the docks with unfortunate news: Her father has fallen ill, and a hospital visit will have to wait while he rests. But with Flavia's blasted sisters and insufferable cousin underfoot, Buckshaw now seems both too empty - and not empty enough. Only too eager to run an errand for the vicar's wife, Flavia hops on her trusty bicycle, Gladys, to deliver a message to a reclusive wood-carver. Finding the front door ajar, Flavia enters and stumbles upon the poor man's body hanging upside down on the back of his bedroom door. The only living creature in the house is a feline that shows little interest in the disturbing scene. Curiosity may not kill this cat, but Flavia is energized at the prospect of a new investigation. It's amazing what the discovery of a corpse can do for one's spirits. But what awaits Flavia will shake her to the very core. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jayne Entwistle.

    Taboo: Daddy Teach Me Everything , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 52min, (USK 18)
    Kylie had just turned 18. She'd not had much experience with local guys and was curious. Her mom was away for the weekend, and her stepdaddy was at home with her. Would she learn about boys from him? Friday afternoon came around, and Jackie was blustering around packing her overnight bag. One of the girls was picking her up. There were a dozen going, and they were taking three cars. There was a horn sounding outside and Jackie was off after giving Joe a kiss and hugging Kylie. “I’ve left dinner in the oven. Just take it out in 20 minutes,” she said to Kylie as she left. Kylie served up and they ate together. “I’m going for a shower,” Kyle said, getting up and clearing the table. She went to her room and undressed, looking appreciatively in the mirror. Yes, she looked good. She put her wrap on and went to the shower room. Leaving the door ajar slightly, she switched the water on and slipped out of the wrap, stepping under the warm jets. She was soaping herself when she caught a movement out of the corner of her eye. Without looking directly, she saw Joe in the slightly open door. Joe stood looking for a few minutes until she turned off the water, and then he was gone. Drying herself with the giant fluffy towel, she wrapped it around herself and went along the passage to her room. She passed Joe’s room and saw him standing with his back to her. Joe seemed interested in seeing more of his stepdaughter...without the towel.Now buy and listen to the audiobook. It also includes a bonus short story, "Through the Screen Erotically", where the author imagines a passionate time with the cam girl he is watching. Short, hot, and steamy.

    The Terrible Two's: Funny Things I Learned from My Toddler Daughter: Savvy Stories, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 500min
    The sequel is even better than the original! Savvy Stories 2: The Terrible Two's picks up right where Savvy Stories left off. Enjoy more of our favorite little girl as she learns to feed the cat (almost), decides to give herself a haircut, decorates the cabinets using Sharpie Markers, and more. Hilarious and heartwarming stories about the lost, magical moments of childhood, viewed through the heart of a father. My stuff is written for a very small audience, but hopefully appeals to a large audience once they get a chance to sample it. That small audience is, in reality, one person. I think it would be really cool if one day I can hand my daughter a book and say, "Here, this is all about how much fun it was to hang out with you." The honesty of a two-year-old is amazing. Are they all like this? I hope so. What a shame that probably has to change. I've caught my daughter doing stuff where I would expect an older kid to lie, and she persists in telling me exactly what she did, ratting herself out completely. That just can't keep up, can it? Whenever it's just the two of us home along and I need a shower, like after I've worked out but my wife isn't home to watch our daughter, I'll put Savvy on the bed in the master bedroom and leave the bathroom door open. That way, she can watch cartoons while sitting on the bed, and I can shower. With the door ajar, she can't see me, but she can certainly come in if some crisis were to happen - like the DVR switched her cartoon off and put on the news - and I can hear her if were to cry for some reason - like when she was trying to use the headboard as a balance beam and got wedged between the mattress. She's two. That stuff happens. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim J. Gracey. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/021505/bk_acx0_021505_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
