Half the town is in their debt, so when the miserly Marlowe is murdered, the mourners are few and the suspects are many.

    Downeast Maine: Bar Harbor, Acadia, Mt. Desert, Northeast Harbor, & Beyond , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 468min
    For most visitors interested in the outdoors, Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island is the top destination. It has more than 50 miles of groomed gravel carriage roads, where motorized traffic is banned. Nearly 120 miles of hiking trails traverse seven major barren mountaintops. There is much to see and do here, and plenty of places to explore. The island's many lakes invite paddlers and swimmers of all skill levels. Pocket cobblestone beaches in hidden coves await discovery by those who wish to avoid the crowds at Sand Beach. With thousands of motel rooms, a similar quantity of campsites, and plenty of private cottages and cabins to rent, Mount Desert Island easily accommodates throngs of visitors, although traffic can get heavy in late July and in August. Towns surrounding Acadia brim with galleries and shops offering interesting wares from around the world. Bar Harbor alone boasts more than 100 restaurants. While many come back year after year to stroll Bar Harbor's shore path, gazing out at some of the more than 40 ocean liners that visit each year, others prefer to visit more traditional fishing villages such as Bass Harbor. Here is the most detailed guide to this unforgettable region of Maine. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jack Chekijian.

    Back in Spite of Popular Demand, Hörbuch, Digital, 36min
    Recorded at The Portland Performing Arts Center in 1985, this performance became the basis for Tim’s second Maine PBS prime-time TV special, as well as his second LP for the Bert and I company. In the two years since the release of Downeast Standup, Tim had been busy with over 150 shows a year, and the maturation of his stage presence and storytelling style is evident here. At this point in his career, Tim was building a national reputation and a loyal fan base for his ability to forge an unlikely and unique blend of traditional Maine dialectal storytelling and completely off-the-wall stand up comedy. If you don’t know what that sounds like on stage, the "Mr. Coffee I.V. Tale" is a perfect example. The "Strict Carnivore" routine has Tim departing from Maine humor entirely, with hilarious results; it had been a staple of Tim’s stage show since his days as a teenage front man for rock bands in the 60s. Speaking of rock bands, this recording also contains Tim’s original song “Takin’ Comfort”, with lyrics based on a poem by 19th- and early 20th-century Maine humorist and storyteller Holman Day. Language: English. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/pf/main/000005/pf_main_000005_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Shelter in Place , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 922min
    From Nora Roberts comes the #1 New York Times bestseller Shelter in Place (June 2018) - a powerful tale of heart, heroism...and propulsive suspense.It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at the video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived.The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever. In the years that followed, one would dedicate himself to a law enforcement career. Another would close herself off, trying to bury the memory of huddling in a ladies' room, helplessly clutching her cell phone - until she finally found a way to pour her emotions into her art.But one person wasn't satisfied with the shockingly high death toll at the DownEast Mall. And as the survivors slowly heal, find shelter, and rebuild, they will discover that another conspirator is lying in wait - and this time, there might be nowhere safe to hide. ungekürzt.

    How to Talk Yankee, Hörbuch, Digital, 23min
    This is one of the best-selling New England dialectal recordings of all time, in continuous production since it’s release on the Bert and I label in the fall of 1982. According to Tim, this is most likely the album that he and Marshall Dodge would have recorded if not for Dodge’s untimely death a few months earlier. Following Marshall’s death in a hit-and-run traffic accident in Hawaii in January of 1982, Tim and legendary storyteller and Bert and I co-founder Bob Bryan decided to write and record what they refer to as the first (and only!) "Downeast Foreign Language Record". The idea sprung from a tremendously popular paperback book of the same title by author Gerald Lewis, which Tim had illustrated in the late 70s. Besides being the first collaboration between Sample and Bryan, this was Tim’s first LP for the Bert and I company and his only studio recording of Maine humor. It was "meant to be a parody of the Berlitz-type learn-to-speak-a-foreign-language records popular at the time," says Sample. The idea must have been a good one, because the album was an instant hit. Sample has learned that dozens of ad agencies and casting bureaus have purchased How to talk Yankee and have handed it out as a teaching tool to actors and actresses trying to learn to imitate a true Maine accent! Language: English. Narrator: Robert Bryan, and Tim Sample. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/pf/main/000006/pf_main_000006_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
