Summary and Analysis of Unlucky 13 (Women's Murder Club) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 42min
The opening of the first part of the novel is set one week after the discovery of the first two bombing victims in the prologue. Lindsay and Conklin learn more about their victims. Lara Timble was a graduate student studying music. David Klatz, the driver of the vehicle, was working on his postgraduate in psychology. Neither victim had any political involvement or known enemies to suggest a suspect for the crime. Due to the nature of the crime, the FBI quickly comes in and takes over the case. With that, there is limited evidence available to the detectives which point to any kind of perpetrator, and they have yet to even figure out what kind of bomb was used or how it was implanted in the victim's stomachs. It is at this point that listeners get their first glimpse of Lindsay's home life. Her husband, daughter, and dog are introduced, and we see that Lindsay is a loving wife and mother who enjoys the time she gets to spend at home. However, Lindsay is also cautious and worries about the safety of her family. This acts as foreshadowing to the fact that her family will be a vulnerable point and a source of weakness for Lindsay, as she hunts down dangerous killers who take up personal vendettas against her.

Rococo: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 654min
New York Times best seller “Eccentric, unpredictable, entertaining...This novel is a treat.” (The Boston Globe) Bartolomeo di Crespi is the acclaimed interior decorator - not to mention the most eligible bachelor - in Our Lady of Fatima, New Jersey. From the dazzling shores of the Garden State to the legendary fabric houses of New York City, from the prickly purveyors of fine art in London to the Mediterranean coast of Italy, Bartolomeo is on a mission to bring talent, sophistication, and his aesthetic vision to his hometown. So when the renovation of the local church is scheduled, he assumes there is only one man to oversee the job. Recruiting an artist and a stained-glass artisan to help with the project - two handsome men who create romantic mayhem among Bartolomeo’s sister, his erstwhile fiancée, and all the other lovelorn ladies of OLOF - Bartolomeo struggles to create art while remaining the steadfast linchpin of the volatile di Crespi clan. Together, Bartolomeo and his team will do more than blow the dust off the old Fatima frescoes - they will turn the town upside down, challenge the faithful, and restore hope where there once was none.
