But on this summer morning, the birds have taken flight and the owner of the house lies too still to be asleep....Sukey Reynolds is delighted that summer has arrived.

But then Sukey is called to photograph the scene of what appears to be a tragic accident. Arthur Soames, a retired school teacher, fell to his death from the ornate iron staircase above his perfectly manicured lawn.

When Arthur’s daughter won’t leave the police in peace, Sukey reluctantly agrees to help put her mind to rest. As she starts to poke about in the dead man’s past, she realises he was keeping secrets, and several people might well have wanted him dead. But who would resort to murder? Could it have been Arthur’s enchanting fiancée, a sullen ex-student, or maybe a nettled neighbour?

Megan and the Cyclist: A Spirit Guide, a Ghost Tiger, and One Scary Mother!: The Megan Series, Book 13 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 105min
Megan is a 13-year-old teenage girl who realizes that she has psychic powers that others do not have. At first, she tried to talk to her mother about them, but with disastrous consequences, so she learned to keep quiet about them. However, some people do offer to help, and an animal showed a special friendship, but they were not "alive" in the normal sense of the word. They had passed on.Megan has three such friends: Wacinhinsha, her spirit guide, who had been Sioux in his last life on Earth; her maternal grandfather, Gramps; and a huge Siberian tiger called Grrr. Wacinhinsha is extremely knowledgeable in all things spiritual, psychic, and paranormal; her grandfather is a novice "dead person"; and Grrr can only speak Tiger, as one might imagine, and most of that, of course, is unintelligible to humans.In this audiobook, one summer’s day during the school holidays, Megan and Jane decide to go cycling in the countryside. They stop for lunch in a village en route, and Jane gets her first lesson in seeing and touching Grrr, Megan’s friendly ghost Siberian tiger. After resting, they get back underway on the second half of their circular journey. Suddenly, they come across an injured cyclist and get him to hospital.The grateful boy and his parents want to thank Megan and Jane, and a long friendship ensues, beginning with riding lessons on Will’s family’s farm. It leads to great benefits for the two girls, and Megan’s knowledge expands when she meets her mount, and later when her spirit guide answers her questions. ungekürzt. Language: English.

An American in Paris: An Absolutely Heartbreaking and Uplifting World War 2 Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 724min
Paris, 1940: Walking through Montmartre that morning was like the eerie calm right before a storm. The roads were deserted. We carried on, arm in arm, and then finally, we saw them. Columns and columns of soldiers, spreading through the streets like a toxic grey vapor. "You must write about this," he whispered to me. "You must write about the day freedom left Paris."As Nazi troops occupy the City of Lights, American journalist Florence is determined to do everything she can to save her adopted home and the man she loves. Florence had arrived in Paris in 1937 and on a beautiful summer’s day met and fell in love with Otto, a Jewish artist from Austria, who had fled persecution in his homeland. But as swastikas are draped along the city’s wide boulevards, everything Otto was running from seems to have caught up with him. Both Florence and Otto begin lending their talents to the Resistance, working to sabotage the Germans right under their noses. Florence’s society columns that before the war were filled with tales of glamorous Parisian parties now document life under occupation and hide coded messages for those fighting outside France for freedom. While Otto risks arrest in order to pin up the anti-Nazi posters he designs by candlelight in their tiny apartment. But with every passing day, things become more dangerous for Otto to remain in Paris. If Florence risks everything by accepting a secret mission, can she ensure his survival so that they can be reunited once the war is over? A sweeping wartime story that will capture your heart and never let it go. Fans of The Alice Network, The Lost Girls of Paris, and My Name Is Eva will be absolutely gripped from the very first moment. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Laurence Bouvard.
