Pargeters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 802min
Pargeting is a highly skilled trade. And Pargeters is the name given to the Suffolk home of John Mercer in honour of Adam Woodley, the craftsman who had decorated it so lovingly. Over two generations, and throughout the turbulent years of the Civil War, Pargeters comes to stand as a symbol of unity for a household divided by conflicting political loyalties and abandoned by its menfolk. And it is the mistress of Pargeters, Sarah Woodley-Mercer - a woman of unflinching courage and quiet strength - who holds the small household together in this troubled time, battling against all odds to secure the home she loves and will not readily give up. ungekürzt.

Forever, My Vampire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min
A hundred years before, the brave menfolk of Balleywalegh drove a vampire from their midst. Then a new century rolled around, and now it’s 1929, and the monster has returned...or has he? Karel Novotny is handsome, well-mannered, and definitely up-to-date. He dances the Charleston and owns a Stutz Bearcat. With his movie-star good looks, he causes quite a sensation among the village lasses. Unfortunately, he has the same name as the former monster, and that’s causing the Balleywalegh fathers some worry. Seamus Flannery considers himself a sensible person. He isn’t much for believing in vampires or other things that go bump in the dark. Nevertheless, he’s bothered by the mysterious newcomer’s attentions to his daughter Brigid. When Brigid and the other girls become inexplicably ill, it’s time for Seamus to do a little digging into Balleywalegh’s past and find out what really happened that terrible night, before someone does something young Mr. Novotny will regret. What Seamus doesn’t know is that there’s someone living in Karel’s manor house who holds the answers he needs, and he’s guarding that secret with his immortal life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Nocturnes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 795min
In his first collection of short fiction, New York Times best-selling author John Connolly offers a selection of dark, daring, and utterly haunting tales. Here are lost lovers and missing children, predatory demons, and vengeful ghosts. In "The New Daughter", a father comes to suspect that a burial mound on his land hides something very ancient and very much alive; in "The Underbury Witches", a pair of London detectives find themselves battling a particularly female evil in a town culled of its menfolk. And finally, private detective Charlie Parker returns in the long novella The Reflecting Eye, in which the photograph of an unknown girl turns up in the mailbox of an abandoned house once occupied by an infamous killer. This discovery forces Parker to confront the possibility that the house is not as empty as it appears and that something has been waiting in the darkness for its chance to kill again. In these stories, Connolly ratchets up the tension to almost unbearable - and irresistible - levels. Nocturnes is a deliciously chilling collection from "one of the best thriller writers we have" (Harlan Coben). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Harding.

Mrs Colonel Audrey Rudman, forever keeping up the standards of the Officers' Wives Club. Lois, who's never had a thought she didn't voice. Loudly.

In this hymn to lifelong female friendship, Peggy soldiers on through new upheavals, including her ex-husband Vern's Alzheimer's diagnosis, the death of one of her nearest and dearest, a life-changing house move and the world-shattering events of 9/11 with the help of her sharp-tongued, often eccentric but always loyal group of friends. ungekürzt.
