This Thing of Darkness: Fiona Griffiths, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 871min
A marine engineer who tumbles off a cliff path on a windy night. A burglary where everything taken was returned by the thief. The suicide of a man in love with life. An accident, a mystery, an unexplained tragedy. And nothing at all to connect them. Until, that is, Detective Constable Fiona Griffiths, searching for something - anything - to take her mind off the tedious job of evidence cataloguing she's been assigned to, starts to wonder if all three incidents are not quite what they seem. It could just be her imagination. After all, she'd be the first to admit that she isn't exactly in the prime of psychological health right now, the darkness she's held at bay ever since she joined the police force now lapping dangerously at her door. But something tells her there are invisible threads linking the crimes, and as she investigates further, she starts to see the outlines of a conspiracy so unlikely and on such a vast scale that it takes her breath away. And that's when they come for her. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Siriol Jenkins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/orio/000878/bk_orio_000878_sample.mp3.

The Case of the Twitter Troll: The Social Media Detective Agency, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min
Meet Kyle King - a 30-something cop who has already accumulated the bitterness of a retiree and spends most shifts lapping the streets of Fullerton, California, with 90s hip hop as his siren song. Sick of having his own hands cuffed by the rigidness of traditional law enforcement, Kyle yearns to pursue the next generation of criminals who are making a mockery of the police force and running amok in cyberspace. The keyboard warriors have had free rein of the virtual world for too long without any accountability - until now. Kyle turns in his badge and together with Ally - his unbearably attractive sidekick - they open their own Social Media Detective Agency with a mission to crack cases wide open in 140 characters or less. But when a celebrity engages their services to track down a troll whose slanderous online comments threaten to destroy their reputation, Kyle and Ally have their work cut out for them. But who is the mystery troll and why are they spreading their hate-filled messages anonymously behind a computer screen? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Bice.

It all started in 1927 when a group of animals on a farm in Upstate New York decided to travel to Florida in search of warmer weather - and faithful fans of the Freddy books have been joyously lapping up each book in the 26 book series ever since! Why is Freddy such a popular pig? Most readers and listeners will tell you it's because he's a pig for all seasons: a detective, a pilot, a magician, an explorer, a poet, a politician...you name it, and Freddy will give it a shot! In Freddy and the Bean Home News, Freddy's friend Mr. Dimsey, the editor of the Guardian, is ousted for publishing news of Bean Farm in the local newspaper. To ensure that those who are interested might still learn of all the goings-on, Freddy takes it upon himself to found a newspaper of his own and calls it The Bean Home News, the basis for the current Freddy fan club newsletter. But it turns out that being a newspaperman isn't quite as easy as Freddy thought it might be. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John McDonough.

Anguilla: A Walking & Hiking Guide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 46min
Thoughts of the Caribbean bring to mind images of lying on sun-drenched beaches with a gentle surf lapping at your feet or of dancing to the rhythms of a calypso band at a world-class resort. Yes, the islands of the Caribbean are this, but they are also so much more! Nowhere else is it possible to experience, in such a small area, so many different cultures and social conditions, such diverse vegetation, and such varied landscapes. Even the most casual walker can step out the door of a luxury hotel onto a palm-lined beach to search for conch shells and hermit crabs, pass through the center of a busy and historically-rich port town, then enter a cactus and boulder-strewn landscape. From there, you can walk among stalks of sugarcane, or up the slopes of a lush volcanic mountain to discover crashing waterfalls and thousands of tropical flowers. All of these delights can be experienced in less than an hour's walk from major towns and tourist spots. Just five miles north of St. Martin, Anguilla, like St. Barth, is ringed by beaches - over 30 of them. The island's main attraction is walking on the sparkling coral sand. For splendid, isolated walking on crescent-shaped, white sand beaches, Anguilla can't be beat. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jamie Roberts.

But those same friends who are always up for a wild night are also out for a piece of Jane's spotlight. In a city filled with people chasing after their dreams, it's not long before Jane wakes up to the reality that everyone wants something from her, and nothing is what it seems to be. L.A.

Cherry Laurel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 620min
Winner 2020 Best New Author Award - AudioBookReviewer.com The child lay on his back, in her shadow, in that eternity after the faint, listening to his senses lapping out, until he was empty, until he was blind, until he saw none of a thousand bruises from her ankles to the dark hair breaking on a shoulder, until he forgot all but a long white dress on the back of a folding chair. He'd happened on a failed life at the peak of its undoing, where something leaves the eye and nothing beautiful remains, and yet, within these terrors, he felt the answers to all questions close at hand, and he might have shed his flesh to know them - to join with those who knew - if not for the mortal agent who stepped into the light. Before the last angel fled, she told him without voice not to let his fear devour him. She planted in his nature a gift that would shield him against those who would seek to break him, and though he would never forget her embrace, the face of his angel was marred by the sun and forever unknown to him...On a warm August morning in 1975, Rita Watt unfolds a chair, takes off her dress, and hangs herself in a dusty garage in Montana. This is where her story ends. Five children cross her path that day. Cherry Laurel is their story. "A brilliant piece of literature... Burrows has an exceptional storytelling ability."

Drowning in Oil: BP & the Reckless Pursuit of Profit , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min
As night settled on April 20, 2010, a series of explosions rocked Deepwater Horizon, the immense semisubmersible drilling platform leased by British Petroleum, located 40 miles off the Louisiana coast. The ensuing inferno claimed 11 lives and would rage uncontained for three days until its wreckage sank to a final resting place nearly a mile beneath the waves. On the ocean floor, the unit’s wellhead erupted. Over the next 10 weeks, as repeated attempts to cap the geyser failed, an estimated 1.7 million gallons of oil - the equivalent of 15 Exxon Valdez spills - spewed into the Gulf of Mexico, eventually lapping up on beaches as far away as Florida.Drowning in Oil, by award-winning business writer Loren Steffy - considered by many to be the writer with the best access to the story - is an unprecedented and gripping narrative of this catastrophe and how BP’s winner-take-all business culture made it all but inevitable. Through never-before-published interviews with BP executives and employees, environmental experts, and oil industry insiders, Steffy takes us behind the scenes of 100 years of BP corporate history.Beginning with the conglomerate’s early gambits in the Middle East to its recent ascent among energy titans, Steffy unearths the roots of the Gulf oil spill in the unwritten bargain between oil producers and consumers, whose insatiable appetites drive the search for new supplies faster, farther, and deeper. Beyond this, the Deepwater Horizon disaster was caused by BP’s reckless cost-cutting in pursuit of profits, particularly under the guidance of its two most recent ex-CEOs, John Browne and Anthony Hayward.Exhaustively researched and documented, Drowning in Oil is the first in-depth examination of how a lack of corporate responsibility and government oversight led to the biggest offshore oil spill in US history. It is an objective, definitive account of the energy industry and BP's pursuit of profit at any cost. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Loren C. Steffy.
