Baker's End: The King of Cats, Hörbuch, Digital, 63min
Former Doctor Who star Tom Baker stars as himself, Tom Baker, in a series of bedazzling audio adventures from the pen of Paul Magrs (Doctor Who, The Brenda and Effie Mysteries): Baker's End. Peevish actors are descending mournfully upon the remote English village of Happenstance for the funeral of TV legend Tom Baker. His one-time costar Suzy Goshawk is sucked into a parochial vortex of intrigue involving the quailsome local vicar, Tom's acidulous housekeeper Mrs Frimbly and various other fruminous scumblebums. None of them can agree upon how Tom met his disastrous end, and Suzy is starting to suspect that something murksome and swervish is going on. The snow comes down, and Suzy finds herself trapped at Baker's End for Christmas, with all the village's creepy pensioners enslaved by a strange, dancing dragon...and a Sinister Presence lurking on the sidelines. Why are old ladies twerking their bottoms outside the post office-cum-mini-mart? Why is the vicar creeping about in the bushes in the dead of night? And why, just when all looks hopeless, does a strange, scobberlotching creature spring into view? Who exactly is the King of Cats in his furry costume and his battered golden crown?

Paranormal Nonsense: Blue Moon Investigations, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 653min
Tempest Michaels does not believe in the paranormal, in fact he thinks it is all nonsense, so why does he investigate it for a living? Because he is the only professional Paranormal Investigator in the Country and business is booming. Following a spate of violent deaths with vampiric characteristics Tempest can ignore the case no longer. The police are getting nowhere and solving the mystery falls into his job description. This would be enough motivation, but when the alluring PC Amanda Harper, AKA PC Hotstuff, asks for his help the lonely voice from his pants demands he do all he can to solve the case, find the killer and win a one way trip to her knickers. Aided by his friends, encumbered by his mother ("Why are there no grandchildren, Tempest?"), advised by a clearly deluded occult book shop owner, and surrounded on all sides by beautiful women that just want to be friends, Tempest soon finds himself up to his eyeballs in wannabe vampires who want to kill him while simultaneously investigating reports of a Bigfoot terrorizing the local countryside and dealing with a pesky Poltergeist that is disturbing poor old pensioners. It will get worse before it gets better and all he really wants is a date with an attractive woman. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Fullagar.

Nothing but Trouble: Jessica Daniel, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
In Nothing But Trouble, a gripping crime thriller by best-selling crime author Kerry Wilkinson, DI Jessica Daniel has to protect the streets of Manchester from escaped prisoners - and those trying to hunt them down. Niall O'Brien is a veteran living on the edge of a run-down estate, refusing to sell his house to developers. He's the only remaining resident, alone and frightened by a series of break-ins. He's been threatening to shoot the next intruder, but he can't be serious...what if the next person through the door is a police officer trying to help? Elsewhere, on a bright Manchester morning, a vehicle screeches across a junction and wipes out a prison van. Two prisoners run for it, leaving the police to track them down. They don't have long to wait. Hours later one of the escapees is hanged from a motorway bridge. Was he broken out solely to be killed, or is there something deeper going on? Meanwhile, someone's conning pensioners out of their savings, and there are rumours that the bare-knuckle British middleweight title fight is coming to the city. DI Jessica Daniel fears finding herself in the middle of an all-out war, not knowing that the biggest threat might come from a frightened pensioner. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Ross Noble Goes Global, Hörbuch, Digital, 111min
A brilliant new BBC Radio 4 series of comedy travelogues presented by award-winning stand-up and Just a Minute regular Ross Noble. Perrier Award nominee Ross Noble has received huge critical acclaim and become known as an exciting and original talent in the UK. Now he takes his show worldwide, to destinations as diverse as Shanghai, South Africa, Ireland, and Singapore. In Shanghai he marvels at the wonders of a thousand pensioners exercising in a park, visits a Buddhist temple and discovers that he is allergic to incense. Touring South Africa, he fails to go up Table Mountain, but meets the Whale Cryer of Hermanus, and discovers that the monkeys in Cape Town have expensive tastes. Travelling through Ireland, he takes in the sights of Sligo, Kilkenny, and Dublin, entertains audiences with his unique brand of stand-up, and learns to play the penny whistle, badly. And in Singapore he discovers the amazing secret behind the Japanese invasion of World War II, and realises that his hair is not suited to high humidity, unless he wants to end up looking like a member of the Jackson Five. Half hilarious stand-up routines, half cultural observations, these shows are both a tempting taster of the cities he visits and a perfect opportunity to spend some time in the wacky, whimsical, fantastically funny world of Ross Noble.

Lacybourne Manor , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1011min
In 1522, the very night they were wed, Royce Morgan and his new bride, Beatrice Godwin, were murdered on their way home to Lacybourne Manor. After the cruel deed was done, a local witch came across their bodies, witnessing firsthand the tragedy of star-crossed lovers. Vowing that Royce and Beatrice would someday uncross those stars, using magic mixed with murder as well as true love, she linked their spirits together with hers (because someone had to protect them) forever...or until their reincarnated souls find happily ever after. Now arrogant, forbidding Colin Morgan lives at Lacybourne, knowing, from lore (as well as the portraits of Royce and Beatrice that hang in Lacybourne's hall and the small fact that he looks exactly like Royce Morgan), that he is the reincarnated soul of his ancestor. One stormy night, flighty, free-spirited, scarily kind-hearted Sibyl Godwin comes to Lacybourne and it doesn't escape Colin's notice that Sibyl is the spitting image of Beatrice. However murder, magic, a warrior's heart beating in a modern man's chest, a woman bent on doing good deeds even if they get her into loads of trouble, a good witch whose family has vowed throughout the centuries to protect true love, distrust, and revenge make a volatile cocktail. This means the path to happily ever after is paved with tranquilizer darts, pensioners on a rampage, Sibyl's bad morning moods, heartbreaking misunderstandings, and all kinds of magic, good and bad. ungekürzt.

To the Moon and Timbuktu: A Trek Through the Heart of Africa , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 544min
Nina Sovich had always yearned for adventures in faraway places; she imagined herself leading the life of a solitary traveler. Yet at the age of 34, she found herself married and contemplating motherhood. Catching her reflection in a window spotted with Paris rain, she no longer saw the fearless woman who spent her youth traveling in Cairo, Lahore, and the West Bank. Unwittingly, she had followed life’s script, and now she needed to cast it out. Inspired by female explorers like Mary Kingsley, who explored Gabon’s jungle in the 1890s, and Karen Blixen, who ran a farm in Kenya during World War I, Sovich packed her bags and hopped on the next plane to Africa in search of adventure.To the Moon and Timbuktu takes listeners on a fast-paced trek through Western Sahara, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger, bringing their textures and flavors into vivid relief. On her travels, Sovich encounters rough-and-tumble Chinese sailors, a Venezuelan doctor working himself to death in Chinguetti, indifferent French pensioners RVing along the coast, and a close-knit circle of Nigerien women who adopt her into their fold, showing her the promise of Africa’s future. This lyrical memoir will transport you to the breathtaking landscapes of West Africa, whose stark beauty will instill wonder in even the most experienced traveler. Sovich’s journey reveals that sometimes we must pursue that distant glimmer on the horizon in order to find the things we value most. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amy McFadden.

Penthouse Heat: An Epic Metropolitan Love Story (A Story That Makes You C-m Twice in a Row): Erotica Short Stories, Book 15 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min, (USK 18)
Clarissa Avery is the last person excited and the first one worried about the letter building management slides under her door one morning. According to management, some tycoon has gone and bought the apartment block she was just getting used to calling her home. Having grown up in the inner city, she knows exactly what that means: The rent is going up, and there’s nothing the residences of Lushview Heights - some of whom have lived there longer than she’s been alive - can do except move out. But with pensioners in the building, where will they go?When a meeting with the new building owner is announced, she’s prepared to fight tooth and nail and take him to task over what he plans to do with the new property, and all the sly ways people like him tend to clear out tenants. But when Kurl Dreyer finally makes his way to the meeting, he defies her expectations at every turn. For one, he grew up in Lushview Heights, with an immigrant mother who worked two jobs to keep them there. More than that, he plans to revamp the building for its current tenants and take the financial hit himself. But Clarissa is still not convinced, and they both know that so long as she’s willing to fight against the machine, no one’s getting their way. Still, Dreyer speaks a good game, and when she agrees to dinner with him to discuss his plans in details, she finds her distrust unraveling under his earnestness. And soon, that’s not all that unravels. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hartley Good. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/163787/bk_acx0_163787_sample.mp3.
