    The Tidal Poole , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min
    It is the crowning day of twenty-five-year-old Bess Tudor's life as she returns from exile to become England's queen. But even as her magnificent procession wends its way to Westminster Palace, a shot rings out, muffled by the jostling crowd. Within moments of becoming England's ruler, Elizabeth learns of the brutal murder of a highborn lady of the court, the sister of one of her dearest friends. Elizabeth cannot refuse her friend's request to find the killer -- especially since the prime suspect is too close to the crown -- and her friends -- to overlook. Elizabeth must be circumspect. Trust can be deadly. So she summons her small band of loyal retainers and plunges into a cauldron of conflicting loyalties and deadly intrigue. From the pomp, pageantry, and insidious gossip of the court to the lethal tidal pools swirling under London Bridge, the passionate young queen must seize the reins of her empire -- and find a killer determined to destroy the crown itself.... ungekürzt.

    Samantha took a taxi from the SkyTrain terminal to Chinatown that blustery night. She was happy with the progress she’d made on her novel in the two weeks she’d been away. But the breakup with Don when she’d left had not gone well, and she cringed at the thought of having to deal with his temper again.Tired and soaked to the skin, Samantha climbed the stairs to her friend’s apartment. The door stood ajar, which was curious. Siobhan should have been at work. When Samantha peered in, she could just see the outline of two ominous figures skulking in the gloom. She gasped and slammed the door shut. She could hear their muffled shouts as she flew, screaming, down the stairs into the street.Gripped with fear, and shielding her face from the driving rain, Samantha dodged between jousting umbrellas and the spray from the headlong rush of the traffic that threatened to thwart her escape.A Person of Interest thrills and excites with romance and danger in this debut mystery novel by Ardelle Holden. ungekürzt.

    A Thirsty Evil , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
    A story of muffled menace and contained romance, framed by the pleasant hills of the West Country. Writer Ian Mackellar is increasingly obsessed with Julia Mellors, an unforthcoming woman and surrogate mother to her difficult and dangerous younger siblings, Beth and Charlie. As events unfold, near to an artificial 18th-century folly pool, it becomes clear that at least one of the children is as murderous as a sea serpent - but are they mad, or simply evil? Praised by critics for his clean prose style, characterisation and the strong sense of place in his novels, Philip Maitland Hubbard was born in Reading, Berkshire and brought up in the Channel Islands. He was educated at Oxford, where he won the Newdigate Prize for English verse in 1933. From 1934 until its disbandment in 1947 he served with the Indian Civil service, then for the British Council, before retiring to work as a freelance writer. He contributed to a number of publications, including Punch, and wrote 16 novels for adults and two children's books. He lived in Dorset and Scotland, and many of his novels draw on his interest in and knowledge of rural pursuits and folk religion. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Banks.

    The Misplaced Affections of Charlotte Fforbes (The Imperfect Lives series, #3) (eBook, ePUB)
    The Misplaced Affections of Charlotte FforbesBook 3 in the Imperfect Lives series #1 New Zealand best-seller!"Humorous, evocative and as much fun as its predecessors.""Entertainment with a bit of grit." Charlotte Fforbes' loveless childhood taught her that feelings only lead to disappointment, and that it's much safer to manage all aspects of your life with aloof efficiency. And it works brilliantly, right up until the day she falls in love with Patrick. Her married boss.Any sane woman would know that her feelings will never be reciprocated. But first love has muffled Charlotte's reason with duct-tape and locked it in a cellar, and she will do anything to find a way into Patrick's heart. Including arranging to be nanny-for-a-month to the small children of Patrick and his wife and two other families at a Lake Como villa.Charlotte's complete lack of child-minding experience is the least of her worries. She must also fend off unwanted seducers, dogs, gate-crashers and a large, vengeful ghost from Patrick's past. But her biggest test comes when she finally sees the folly of her plan and has to ask - can she ever feel love like this again? (364 ages approx)

    The Incident , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 723min
    Certainly there are ghosts in these towers. For me they are the ghosts of two children. And even now - ten years later and seven hundred miles away - I still wake most nights with the muffled echo of their cries in my ears and the weight of their deaths on my conscience...Three lives; three turning points. Craig was a teenage lifeguard on a beach in Germany when two children died on his watch. It should never have happened. He was an expert swimmer. His grandfather, Gordon McInnes, was on board a ship torpedoed during the war. He survived by clinging to the body of one of his colleagues. Years later, he met a member of the crew of the U-boat that attacked his ship. Gerd is a refugee of the Cold War. Recruited by the Stasi at a very young age, he escaped to the west after his mission went terribly wrong. He never went back. The Incident is a searingly powerful novel about fate, about those moments that change the course of a life for ever. It is also a book about history, from the Second World War through to the current day, and the way incidents long past can reverberate across generations. ungekürzt. Language: English.

One of them lands in the water just beyond the resort. Everyone flees screaming to their rooms, expecting a wall of water to follow, but the tsunami never arrives. Bill and his daughter watch the news from the relative safety of their third-floor suite. The anchorman is fleeing from his hillside vantage point with his cameraman in hot pursuit. Their muffled screams are the last thing anyone hears before the signal is lost....If you liked the movies Alien and Independence Day, you’ll love Under Darkness. ungekürzt. Language: English.
