Sweetheart: A Thriller , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 567min

With Heartsick, Chelsea Cain took the crime world by storm, introducing two of the most compelling characters in decades: serial killer Gretchen Lowell and her obsessed pursuer, Portland Detective Archie Sheridan. The book spent four weeks on the New York Times best seller list and garnered rave reviews around the world. But the riveting story of Archie and Gretchen was left unfinished. Now Chelsea Cain picks up the tale again. When the body of a young woman is discovered in Portland's Forest Park, Archie is reminded of the last time they found a body there, more than a decade ago - it turned out to be the Beauty Killer's first victim, and Archie's first case. This body can't be one of Gretchen's - she's in prison - but after reporter Susan Ward uncovers the dead woman's identity, it turns into another big case. Trouble is, Archie can't focus on the new investigation because the Beauty Killer case has exploded: Gretchen Lowell has escaped from prison. Archie hadn't seen her in two months; he'd moved back in with his family and sworn off visiting her. Though it should feel like progress, he actually feels worse. The news of her escape spreads like wildfire, but secretly, he's relieved. He knows he's the only one who can catch her, and in fact, he has a plan to get out from under her thumb once and for all. Chelsea Cain has topped her own best-selling debut thriller with this unpredictable, edge-of-your-seat story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carolyn McCormick.

Out for Blood: Britain's Thorney Dyke Knife Murders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 647min

This is the disturbing account of 31-year-old Joanna Dennehy, mother of two; the man under her spell, Gary Stretch, 47; and the murder investigation that led them and others to the Old Bailey for trial. A true crime short, plus 17 additional true crime stories. It was the day before Easter 2013. A man out walking his dog on a rural road near Peterborough, United Kingdom, found a dead body lying in a ditch. The grisly discovery preceded two other dead body discoveries under similar circumstances, thus launching police on a massive countrywide manhunt for a self-mutilating female psychopath with an affinity for knives and her seven-foot three-inch tall companion and accomplice. Before their bloody rampage was brought to an end, they would attempt to kill two additional innocent people who likely never even saw them coming. This volume also includes the bizarre, compelling, and frighteningly authentic true crime stories of several headline-grabbing cases as well as more obscure cases that received little media attention. In this audiobook you will find stories about serial killer Andrew Urdiales; Jodi Arias and the murder of Travis Alexander; the random serial stabber case; a killer who wanted to be like Dexter; a blood oath murder case out of Washington State; a story about a dead man who murdered two female victims; the case of Portland's Motel Hell bloodbath; and several other real-life true crime dramas chosen especially for true crime aficionados about killers who mostly had one thing in common: They were out for blood! Eighteen stories in all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Orders. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/077232/bk_acx0_077232_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Doug Pitassi's 15 Best Restaurants in Portland There are few places as unique and diverse as the city of Portland, and the city's dining options reflect the openness of its residents to a wide variety of culinary delights. In this new book, Doug Pitassi takes on the daunting task of offering his expert assessment of the very best restaurants the city has to offer by providing detailed information regarding each and every restaurant earning a ranking among the 15 best. Citing the combination of the exceptionally fertile soil of the Pacific Northwest and the fearlessness of residents to try things belonging to entirely unfamiliar cultures, Pitassi praises Portland's culinary sophistication by noting that there are hundreds of restaurants worthy of inclusion among the best in Portland. Despite the difficulties inherent in his task, Pitassi successfully brings the exceptionality of the Portland dining scene into focus and provides a thorough assessment of and explanation for each of his choices. In this ideal book for both residents of and visitors to the city of Portland, Pitassi makes sure to detail each restaurant's respective specialties along with all the hidden gems that may not always be discovered by diners during the first few visits to a given establishment. Doug Pitassi's 15 Best Restaurants in Portland also includes advice regarding the best times to visit each dining establishment, as some of the restaurants rely heavily on seasonality when preparing their menu offerings while others are just predictably busy at certain times. With practical advice and detailed descriptions, first-time visitors to Portland can use this book to find the perfect dining option regardless of their particular tastes or inclinations, and Portlanders can benefit from the depth of Pitassi's analysis to discover the menu offerings they may have unintentionally passed over at their favorite restaurants. ungekürzt.
