Kindred , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 571min
Jefferson Tayte is good at finding people who don't want to be found. For years he has followed faint genealogical trails to reunite families - and uncover long-hidden secrets. But Tayte is a loner, a man with no ties of his own; his true identity is the most elusive case of his career. But that could all be about to change. Now Tayte has in his possession the beginnings of a new trail - clues his late mentor had started to gather - that might at last lead to his own family. With Professor Jean Summer, his partner in genealogical sleuthing, he travels to Munich to pick up the scent. But the hunt takes them deep into dangerous territory: the sinister secrets of World War II Germany, and those who must keep them buried at any cost. When their investigations threaten to undermine a fascist organisation, Tayte and Summer know time is running out. Can they find their way to the dark heart of a deadly history before they become its latest victims? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Vance.

Frigid , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 571min
Originally published November 2013 For 21-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn't anything new. They'd been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the man in man-whore. He's never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love. Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and she's everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have. But when they're stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive nor'easter, there's nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life changer in more ways than one. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marisa Vitali, Rock Engle.

Sketcher , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 571min
Nine-year-old "Skid" Beaumont's family is stuck in the mud. Following his father's decision to relocate and build a new home, based on a drunken vision that New Orleans would rapidly expand eastwards into the wetlands as a result of the Seventies oil boom, Skid and his brothers grow up in a swampy area of Louisiana. But the constructions stop short, the dream fizzles out, and the Beaumonts find themselves sinking in a soggy corner of 1980s Cold War America. As things on the home front get more complicated, Skid learns of his mother's alleged magic powers and vaguely remembers some eerie stories surrounding his elder brother Frico. These, as well as early events that Skid saw with his own eyes, convince him that Frico has a gift to fix things by simply sketching them. For the next few years, Skid's self-appointed mission to convince his brother to join him in his lofty plan to change their family's luck and the world they live in will lead to even more mystery and high drama in the swamp.

Red Poppies, Hörbuch, Digital, 571min
Red Poppies is the story of the wealthy Maiqi family: its powerful chieftain, his Han Chinese wife, his first son and heir, and his second, "idiot" son, the novel's narrator and unlikely hero. The time is the 1930s, the setting a stone fortress overlooking all that the family rules on the arid plains of inner Tibet, with its scattered populace of peasant farmers, merchants, and comical local lamas. A feud breaks out with a neighboring chieftain; an emissary of the Chinese Nationalists comes to the Maiqi's aid with the tools of modern warfare. In exchange, fields of poppies, valuable in the Nationalist-backed heroin trade, are to be planted instead of grain in a deal that enriches the Maiqi's lavish lifestyle and earns them dangerous enmity.Ambitious, sensuous, filled with intriguing characters, panoramic settings, and high drama, Red Poppies opens a window on pre-occupation Tibet, dispelling many of the popular myths of a pacifistic society peopled by devout worshipers.

Beguiled , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 571min
Beguiled is a coming-of-age story of a first-generation immigrant girl who had dreams that were interrupted by cultural mores, by discrimination, and by her own shortcomings. Miriam Levine, daughter of Russian-Jewish parents, born in 1900, grew up in the storied old West End neighborhood of Boston, a multiethnic, densely populated community of diverse people who remarkably mingled and helped one another. Miriam's culture maven Pop, a member of the socialist-unionist Workmen's Circle, took her to the theater from the time she was a little girl. She dreamed of going on stage to escape the confines of her tenement neighborhood and her grieving, critical mother, until an almost fatal misstep forced her to postpone her "real life". A serendipitous offer compelled her to confront her inner demons and society's expectations. In New York City and the arts mecca of Provincetown, MA, she is mentored by famous literati of the Roaring '20s.The historical context of the decades before the Great Depression, the place of immigrants, racism, and women's suffrage, parallels tough political dilemmas the US faces today. Will Miriam have the gumption to follow her dreams? Will those dreams yield her the happiness she seeks? Or will she find that her childhood fantasies "beguile" her to seek "fool's gold"? Authored in a fast-paced style, described as a pause-resister, the narrator makes the characters, fictional and real, come alive. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paige Allison.
