Viper: No Resurrection for Commissario Ricciardi: Commissario Ricciardi, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 570min
Naples, 1932. A week before Easter, springtime offers fragrant temptations to the men and women of Naples - but evil also lurks in the sweet-smelling spring air. At the high-class brothel in the center of town known as Paradiso, Viper, the most famous prostitute of all, is found dead after being suffocated with a pillow. Her last client swears that he left her alive and well. But when her next client arrived, he found her dead. Who killed her and why? Ricciardi must untangle a complex knot of greed, frustration, jealousy, and rancor in order to solve the riddle of Viper's death. As he does, he will discover an endless trail of conflicting emotions just beneath the surface of a city that lives on passion. De Giovanni's mysteries unfold with such sinuous ease that they seem to write themselves. They enchant, surprise, and keep listeners enthralled. Commissario Ricciardi, with the dubious gift of being able to see and hear the last seconds in the lives of those who have suffered a violent death, is one of the most fascinating investigators to make his appearance in the world of international crime fiction. In Viper, the lustful and boisterous city of Naples has never been more seductive. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Grover Gardner.

Oceans Ventured: Winning the Cold War at Sea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 602min
When Ronald Reagan took office in January 1981, the US and NATO were losing the Cold War. The USSR had superiority in conventional weapons and manpower in Europe and had embarked on a massive program to gain naval preeminence. But Reagan already had a plan to end the Cold War without armed conflict. Reagan led a bipartisan Congress to restore American command of the seas by building the Navy back to 600 major ships and 15 aircraft carriers. He adopted a bold new strategy to deploy the growing fleet to northern waters around the periphery of the Soviet Union and demonstrate that the NATO fleet could sink Soviet submarines, defeat Soviet bomber and missile forces, and strike aggressively deep into the Soviet homeland if the USSR attacked NATO in Central Europe. New technology in radars, sensors, and electronic warfare made ghosts of American submarines and surface fleets. The US proved it could effectively operate carriers and aircraft in the ice and storms of Arctic waters, which no other navy had attempted. The Soviets, suffocated by this naval strategy, were forced to bankrupt their economy trying to keep pace. Shortly thereafter the Berlin Wall fell, and the USSR disbanded. ungekürzt.

Raining Cats & Dogs: A Melanie Travis Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 414min
Melanie Travis has her hands full these days, what with adding a husband and three more dogs to her already cramped home. The advanced obedience training for her dog Faith is a welcome respite from the stresses of house hunting - until murder forces Melanie to the head of the class. Even amidst the chaos, Melanie somehow manages to eke out a bit of time to get Faith enrolled in "school". The South Avenue Obedience Club looks like fun, even if there are enough sexual and political undercurrents in the group to power a small generator. Melanie is especially eager to bring Faith to the program at the Winston Pumpernill Nursing Home. Club member Paul Lennox initiated the outings to please his Great Aunt Mary, and since many of the other residents are also dog lovers, the trips are now a treasured tradition. Melanie and Faith are warmly welcomed at the home, but their very first visit ends in tragedy when Aunt Mary is found suffocated in her bed. There's no shortage of suspects - from the wealthy victim's ne'er-do-well son to the staff to the secret-laden club members themselves, there's motive and opportunity aplenty. All Melanie has to do is follow the trail - and watch her back. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jessica Almasy.

101 Amazing Unusual Deaths , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 88min
Death is the one thing about life that we can all be sure of. But exactly how we shuffle off this mortal coil is another story altogether. The boring among us may well gently drift off in our sleep, gratefully avoiding the fate of those whose inner flame is extinguished by disease or disaster. If we’re lucky, the manner of our passing will warrant no more than a tick in some box somewhere, a ‘plus one’ to some statistician’s calculation. Yet some individuals’ deaths will occur in such a way that they are remembered long past the achievements made in their lives. From almost three millennia ago - when the politician Draco was suffocated by the gifts with which an appreciative audience showered him - to the present day, the fates have oh so generously woven their magic to ensure that certain members of the human race have met the choir invisible in ever more interesting circumstances. This audiobook examines a fair number of such cases, where the unexpected is the norm and the bizarre commonplace. From the humorous to the tragic and the gruesome, prepare yourself for a morbid trip through the kind of material coroners secretly share at their Christmas parties. Welcome to 101 Amazing Unusual Deaths. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jason Zenobia. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/entn/000931/bk_entn_000931_sample.mp3.

The Swamps of Jersey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 619min
Even in a hurricane, it should have been a simple case to investigate, Ironton, N.J. Frank Nagler thought. Even if the victim was found in a swamp and didn't have a head. Someone would report a wife, sister, daughter, a friend missing. Once the water receded, clues would float up. But then they didn't, and Nagler wondered why. Then it was suggested that his missing girlfriend might be involved, or even the victim. And Nagler wondered why. In the end , the case is personal and draws Nagler down paths on his life he has buried, just as the truth of his investigation into the headless woman is suffocated by cheap and dangerous politics and evil in plain sight. He has watched his native city crumble economically, be twisted by greed and dirty politics. He wonders who among his friends are now enemies, who is fair and who is cheating. And he wonders when his heart, broken by the death of his young wife, will heal. The Swamps of Jersey follows Nagler through the twists of lies and deception. It asks two questions: "Who can he trust?" and "What happens then the crime you are investigating breaks your heart?" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lee Alan.

It's 1934, and the currents pushing her include an unscrupulous father determined to keep the family solvent during the Great Depression, a mother suffocated by the bubble of high society, and a greedy fiance named Leyton, who is proving why his name rhymes with Satan.

She wants to exchange teacups for drinking milk from the jug. And she dreams of a man named Jace McAllister, another rogue wave who wants to love her but fights the seas bringing them together. Jace also has a heart for those who are Depression-weary, but his method of helping includes retribution. His reasons are his own but connected to Julianna's family. For this seemingly doomed couple, moving forward brings on storms of rage, moral dilemmas, and difficult personal growth. Their love could be the kind that is impossible to live out...or the kind from which legends are born. The outcome of their journey depends on how carefully they navigate the waters. ungekürzt.

Suburban Redux: A Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 161min
In this novella adaption of his hit stage play Suburban Redux, award-winning author and playwright Andrew Biss presents a hilarious and poignant tale about love, truth, and acceptance in a romantic comedy for the modern family. After 30 years of arid matrimony and suburban monotony, Mrs. Pennington-South's only dream is that her son, Cuthbert, will break free of the cycle of upper-middle-class inertia that suffocated her. Raising him in the hope that he is homosexual, she soon begins dragging home potential suitors for tea - on this particular occasion a rather shy, awkward young man named Tristram. Cuthbert, however, finds he can no longer maintain his facade and at last confesses to his mother his guilty secret: his heterosexuality. When Cuthbert leaves to meet Trixie, his new female friend, Mrs. Pennington-South - heartbroken, but accepting - takes solace in the company of Tristram, and a mutual love of the arts soon leads to a newfound friendship. After several weeks, however, Tristram's feelings take on more amorous overtones, and a confession of love for a woman almost 30 years his senior sends Mrs. Pennington-South into a state of emotional turmoil. Her anxiety is further heightened by the unexpected arrival of Cuthbert, merrily announcing that he has brought Trixie home for an introduction and the big news they wish to impart. Mrs. Pennington-South, mortified at having to face the reality of her son's lifestyle choice, fearfully awaits the dreaded Trixie. Nothing, however, could have prepared her for what will come next. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Milly Scott.
