Super G , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 330min
What's on your mixtape? For Grayson Gordon, it's his father's voice from beyond the grave, guiding him to his destiny. In the fall of 1989, after uncovering his dad's Walkman, Grayson's alter ego is born. Acting on the lyrics in the songs on the mixtape, he transforms into Super G and stops a petty crime, outsmarts a pushy jock, and wins the affection of altar girl Evelyn. His mom also takes comfort in the clergy, in the arms of Father Jack, a priest with a penchant for exploiting grieving widows. When the promiscuous pastor commits an unforgivable sin, Super G vows to take him down. With the help of a loyal sidekick and a saucy senior, he discovers that bringing Father Jack to justice and avenging his Father's death may be one and the same.

44 Scotland Street, Hörbuch, Digital, 365min
First published in 110 episodes in The Scotsman newspaper, 44 Scotland Street revolves around the comings and goings at No. 44 Scotland Street, a fictitious building in a real street in the author's home city of Edinburgh. One of McCall Smith's particular talents is his ability to portray archetypes without resorting to stereotype or cliche. We immediately recognise the Edinburgh chartered surveyor, stalwart of the Conservative Association, who dreams of membership of Scotland's most exclusive golf club. We have the pushy Stockbridge mother, and her prodigiously talented five-year-old son, who is making good progress with the saxophone and with his Italian. Then there is Domenica Macdonald, who is that type of Edinburgh lady who sees herself as a citizen of a broader intellectual world. 44 Scotland Street is vintage McCall Smith, tackling issues of trust and honesty, snobbery and hypocrisy, love and loss, but all with great lightness of touch.

Scene Stealer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 410min
For a moment, our eyes met; his were frightened, seeking help. Was it my imagination gone wild? No. After all those years of teaching elementary school, I knew this child was afraid. After a chance encounter on the subway, Miss Augusta Weidenmaier, a retired schoolteacher living in New York's Greenwich Village, is determined to help the police in the search for missing nine-year-old child actor Kevin Corcoran. Never mind that she has no training in law enforcement - she spent decades teaching. She knows when someone is lying. Once set upon a course of action, the indomitable Miss Weidenmaier cannot be swayed - or intimidated. Facing down megalomaniacal business executives, stuck-up celebrities, pushy stage mothers and a rabble-rousing talk show host, Miss Weidenmaier will stop at nothing - not even the disapproval of one Lieutenant Brown of the NYPD, who does not take kindly to amateur sleuthing - to bring young Kevin home. ungekürzt.

Art of Grace: On Moving Well Through Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 538min
We are naturally drawn to smooth, harmonious movement. Both social and physical graces have been taught since the dawn of civilization. Yet grace seems forgotten in our pushy, hectic modern world. Sarah L. Kaufman argues that we bring it back. She celebrates grace in the way bodies move, exploring how to stand, walk, and dress well. She deplores the rarity of grace among public figures and glories in it where found (Beyoncé at a fashion show). She singles out grace in sports and in the arts, from tennis and football to sculpture, pop music, and, of course, dance, and in the everyday ways people interact, from the grace of a good host to the unexpected kindness of strangers. Cary Grant is this audiobook's muse. His uncanny ease flowed from training as an acrobat but equally from his wit, humility, and genuine concern for others. So, too, Kaufman suggests, we might unearth the potential for grace in ourselves. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christina Delaine.
