Car Talk, To Mud Flap or Not to Mud Flap? March 16, 2013, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
This week on Car Talk, John is wondering whether 'tis nobler not to spray water on his fellow drivers at the risk of increasing his new car's risk of rust--which is a poetic way of asking, should he get mud flaps installed on his new car? Elsewhere, Manny's Chevy S-10 in having trouble adjusting to its new home. Ever since he moved, it won't start after an overnight rain; and Piali's steering wheel is making noises that she thinks are scary, but her husband thinks are hilarious. Also, former Ferrari driver Steve wonders how he can adjust to a post-divorce life of driving a car with cloth seats; Connie's looking for the perfect car for a road trip from Bellingham, WA to Rio de Janiero; and when Lin's mechanic told her, "your rear end's gonna fall off"--we're pretty sure he was referring to her Explorer. At least, we hope he was referring to her Explorer. All this and lots more, this week on Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: March 16, 2013] Language: English.

Miracle Girl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 643min
A car accident has left young Anabelle Vincent in a coma-like state - unable to move or speak. Her mother spends her days and nights taking care of her frozen child, but Anabelle's father has left: unable to cope, broken under the responsibility of having been the car's driver. Then, one day, a visiting friend experiences what seems like a miracle. She thinks it's because of Anabelle. Word spreads. There are more visitors. More miracles. But is there a connection? And does it matter? Will Anabelle ever wake up, and if she does, will the miracles cease? Andrew Roe has crafted an intricate story, told by Anabelle, her parents, and the visitors, who include neighbors, a priest, the affluent, and the downtrodden. What becomes clear is that life's cruelties show no prejudice, but becoming a believer - in something, anything, even if you don't understand it - can bring salvation. More than a novel about a family in crisis, The Miracle Girl tells a larger cultural story of how we live and hope and dream. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cassandra Campbell.

Along the Infinite Sea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 943min
Each of the three Schuyler sisters has her own world-class problems, but in the autumn of 1966, Pepper Schuyler's problems are in a class of their own. When Pepper fixes up a beautiful and rare vintage Mercedes and sells it at auction, she thinks she's finally found a way to take care of herself and the baby she carries, the result of an affair with a married, legendary politician. But the car's new owner turns out to have secrets of her own, and as the glamorous and mysterious Annabelle Dommerich takes pregnant Pepper under her wing, the startling provenance of this car comes to light: a Nazi husband, a Jewish lover, a flight from Europe, and a love so profound it transcends decades. As the many threads of Annabelle's life from World War II stretch out to entangle Pepper in 1960s America, and the father of her unborn baby tracks her down to a remote town in coastal Georgia, the two women must come together to face down the shadows of their complicated pasts.

Stuck in Manistique , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min
Near the midpoint of the Upper Peninsula, along a Lake Michigan bend of shore, is the town of Manistique, Michigan.

Regardless, Mark decides to play host for one night, telling Emily that he's merely stepping in temporarily while his aunt is away.As a one-night stay turns into another and more guests arrive, the ersatz innkeeper steadily loses control of his story.

Passion's Evidence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min
You are in my vein's pulse, the car's rhythm. Remove the blade so I may heal. From the lush and sensual to the quiet and serene, Passion's Evidence opens up a newly observed world for women and men to appreciate and experience in this collection of finely crafted poems. Composed over the last 25 years, Fifield's free verse offers the honesty and clarity of an attentive woman's observations of family, men, nature, and other aspects of life she has graced with her artist's eye. Her poetry ranges from the rich lines of "Picking Strawberries" - "blushing rubies of succulent flesh food for ancient deities", to the quietly dramatic opening of "Memories in the Orchard" - "Through knotted grass, dandelions gnarled roots, bracken, I enter the apple orchard." Fifield not only explores the panoramic emotions of love - sometimes satisfied, sometimes unrequited - and the connections of a woman's heart to her husband, her daughter, her mother-in-law, but she also conveys with skill and grace the sometimes complex emotions a woman may have in life: "You ask me to dance with the wind but knees are stiff from too much bending." In this impressive collection of poems, Fifield presents in full color the real, the actual, the tangible in life and then delicately laces it with hints of the shimmering potential still therein. ungekürzt.

Deadly Puzzles: Mapleton Mysteries, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 582min
Solving a crime is like piecing together a puzzle. But what happens if the pieces don't fit? When police chief Gordon Hepler's doctor orders him to cut down on the stress in his life or risk losing his vision, Gordon books a winter retreat at a remote bed and breakfast. Hours away from Mapleton, where nobody knows he's a cop, he plans to relax and try to forget about his eyes. However, traveling "incognito" doesn't mean he's left his cop instincts behind. His curiosity is piqued when one of the other guests at the B&B doesn't appear to be who she claims. Before he can explore the puzzle she presents, a man shows up, pleading for help. His car's gone off the road, and his wife is inside. Although a blizzard is approaching, Gordon can't refuse the frantic man's request and agrees to help him search. Fighting the storm, Gordon and the man struggle down a ravine to the car. What they find turns out to be one more puzzle, and it's not the last Gordon faces. Are they unrelated coincidences? Or part of one bigger mystery? Or is he seeing a crime where none exists? Well outside his jurisdiction, with his health at stake, Gordon wonders whether he should follow his cop impulses, or remember he's on vacation and let the locals handle it. When it becomes personal, Gordon has no choice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve Marvel. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/091890/bk_acx0_091890_sample.mp3.
