    Cheating the Hangman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 562min
    A fork of lightning and a crash of thunder herald the completion of a heinous crime. In woodland belonging to the eccentric Lord Wychbold, a body has been crucified on a tree. On Easter Day, the Reverend Tobias Campion returns from morning service at St Luke's and discovers the corpse, already beginning to putrefy. A crown of thorns frames his face, bludgeoned beyond recognition, and a loincloth preserves what is left of his modesty. The victim will not rise again, though the well-concealed secrets of the village will have to if the perpetrators are to be found. After a postmortem examination fails to identify the victim, Tobias and his old friend, Dr. Hansard, pledge to uncover the truth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Thorpe.

    After the sudden death of her father, Dr. McMurry was unprepared for the intensity of grief that consumed her.

This book is for anyone who has experienced loss, as well as those who care for others who grieve. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: InSook Diamond.

    Son of Gun in Cheek , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 432min
    The prolific Pronzini not only writes a lot of mysteries (The Nameless Detective series), he obviously reads a lot of them too - but not all of what he reads is good. His 1982 Gun in Cheek was a wickedly humorous collection of unbelievable plots, poor characterization, unlikely language and just plain dumbness in his favorite genre; here he presents another collection, subtitled an affectionate guide to more of the 'worst' in mystery fiction." Some writers (Harry Stephen Keeler, Michael Avallone) are roasted at length, and some are sideswiped, including even fine writers experiencing temporary lapses (Ed McBain, Joseph Wambaugh). Not perhaps for the general reader, this volume should appeal to addicts who, like Pronzini, will apparently read anything labeled "mystery". Sex, pulp mags, B-movies and "The Alternative Hall of Fame" are featured in wittily titled chapters with a postmortem bibliography." (Publishers Weekly) ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Murder at the Abbey: A Redmond and Haze Mystery, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 486min
    When the body of a young woman is found near the ruins of a haunted abbey, everyone assumes she died of fright. A postmortem examination tells a different story.

With no clear motive for the murder and no obvious suspects, the trail soon grows cold. But the killer is closer than they imagined, waiting to strike with deadly force should they discover the truth.   This is the second installment of the exciting Redmond and Haze mysteries, perfect for fans of Arthur Conan Doyle, Anne Perry, and C.S. Harris. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wendy Wolfson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/198294/bk_acx0_198294_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    A Snowball's Chance in Hell: A Scottish Murder Mystery (DCI Logan Crime Thrillers, Book 9) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 691min
    Which list are you on? When a young man is found frozen to death on a Highland street in mid-December, DCI Jack Logan initially puts it down to a Christmas night out gone tragically wrong. But, when a postmortem reveals something more sinister, Jack discovers he is dealing with a cold, calculating killer with a long line of victims, a talent for torture, and a perverse sense of justice. Half a decade ago, the press dubbed him "The Iceman" - a twisted vigilante who successfully evaded capture for two years, before melting away into the night. Now, The Iceman has come back. His naughty list is longer than ever. And it contains some worryingly familiar names....A Snowball’s Chance in Hell is the ninth book in the internationally best-selling DCI Jack Logan Scottish crime fiction series. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart Macbride, and Val McDermid. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angus King.

    Mystery at Olympia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 415min
    The next time you visit Olympia, take a good look around and see if you think it would be possible to murder someone in the middle of the crowd there without being seen. The new Comet was fully expected to be the sensation of the annual Motor Show at Olympia. Suddenly, in the middle of the dense crowd of eager spectators, an elderly man lurched forward and collapsed in a dead faint. But Nahum Pershore had not fainted. He was dead, and it was his death that was to provide the real sensation of the show. A postmortem revealed no visible wound, no serious organic disorder, no evidence of poison. Doctors and detectives were equally baffled, and the more they investigated, the more insoluble the puzzle became. Even Dr Lancelot Priestley’s unrivalled powers of deduction were struggling to solve this case. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gordon Griffin.

    Trace: Kay Scarpetta, Book 13, Hörbuch, Digital, 360min
    Since Postmortem garnered critical acclaim and a record-breaking five awards for a first crime novel, the Scarpetta novels have often been imitated, but never bettered. Against her own judgement and the advice of Benton Wesley and her niece, Lucy, Scarpetta agrees to return to Virginia as a consultant pathologist on a case involving the death of a 14-year-old girl. Accompanied by Pete Marino she finds the once familiar territory of her morgue and her department much changed, and the new Chief Medical Examiner treats her with disdain despite the obvious fact that he is in desperate need of her expertise. But professional as ever, she re-examines the evidence and proves the girl was murdered. She also finds trace evidence which matches that found on an accident victim and at the scene where one of Lucy's operatives was attacked. It is not only a forensic puzzle, but opens up the probability that someone is after those closest to Scarpetta. Language: English. Narrator: Carolyn McCormick.
