    Die Party bei den Jacks
    Dieses erstmals ins Deutsche übersetzte Prosajuwel führt uns empor in die höchsten Sphären von Manhattan - mitten hinein in die Glamourwelt der Schönen und Reichen. Starlets und Damen von Welt, Broker und Magnaten, Privatiers und Parvenüs geben sich auf einer Penthouse-Party die Ehre. In stakkatohaften Sequenzen fängt Thomas Wolfe den Rhythmus einer rastlosen Metropole ein, in der der Tanz ums goldene Kalb immer ausgelassenere Formen annimmt.Alles, was Rang und Namen hat, findet sich im Art-déco-Ambiente von Esther und Frederick Jack ein: sie eine gefeierte Broadway-Künstlerin, er ein aus Koblenz stammender Jude und Selfmade-Millionär. Die Roaring Twenties sind auf ihrem Höhepunkt angelangt, schon wirft die Große Depression ihre Schatten voraus. Doch vom drohenden Ende der Sause will man bei den Jacks noch lange nichts wissen ... Mit seiner Innenansicht einer New Yorker Luxusadresse - von der Dachterrasse bis hinab in den Untergrund, von wo die Subway feine Vibrationen durchs Gebäude schickt - zeichnet Wolfe das Panoptikum einer faszinierenden Stadt und einer faszinierenden Epoche.

    Just Say Yes (A Friends to Lovers Romance) : Love Drunk Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 351min
    He wanted an escape. What he got was a date with a beautiful blonde that turned into utter chaos. Notorious celebrity playboy, A.J. Morgan, has more emotional baggage than notches on his well-used bedpost. And that’s saying a lot. Wild nights featuring Hollywood starlets and gallons of whiskey only do so much to ease the pain until he meets cunning club singer, Lisa Embry, whose heart is surrounded by more barbed wire than a high-security prison. A plummeting elevator, a near-broken nose, and a tangle with a knife-wielding lunatic should have been three very clear signs to steer clear of the atomic blonde. But one hot night turns A.J. into an addict in need of his next fix, and he'll pay any price for another hit because he never backs away from a challenge. Especially one as dangerously hypnotic as her. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marcio Catalano. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/180994/bk_acx0_180994_sample.mp3.

    Poor Butterfly: A Toby Peters Mystery, Book 15 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 343min
    The year 1942 is a bad time to stage Madame Butterfly. Although Puccini's masterpiece is a perennial favorite of the San Francisco opera crowd, its sympathetic depiction of a Japanese girl causes tension in the dark months following Pearl Harbor. Newspaper editorialists rage against the production, opera buffs picket the theater, and a note appears nailed to the house door, threatening violence against the cast and crew. When the first workman dies, the maestro calls Toby Peters, a Los Angeles detective who works discreetly for Hollywood's rich and famous. Two days remain before the opening night, and the body count continues to rise. As he hunts for this self-styled phantom of the opera, Toby falls for one of the company starlets. They must tread lightly, or risk a death more dramatic than anything Puccini ever dreamed up. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Bowlby.

    Jude's Law , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min, (USK 18)
    There's only so much frustration a guy can handle before he gets a little nutty. For Jude Jamison, his frustration has a name - May Price. She's everything the former Hollywood bad boy actor came to Stillbrook, Ohio, hoping to find: open, honest, lovable, and full of those luscious curves you don't find on stick-figure starlets - curves May doesn't seem to appreciate in herself. Every time Jude tries to get close to the skittish business woman, to take her in his arms, she thinks he's joking. Joking? Joking does not involve lots of cold-shower therapy. Time for new tactics. If May can't respond to his sly compliments and sexy innuendos, he'll just have to spell it out for her. Jude Jamison is going to lay down the law for May Price. And after that, she'll have no delusions about just how much he wants her.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Frangione.

    Shooting Hollywood: The Diana Poole Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 321min
    A 40-year-old actress tries to make a comeback - but death keeps getting in the way Diana Poole was the last of the starlets. A vibrant blonde with a quick wit and sharp intelligence, she was on her way to the top when Colin Hudson changed her mind about being famous. He was the finest screenwriter in Hollywood, and loved her well enough that she lost the acting bug forever. When he dies, he leaves Diana lonely, broke, and verging on middle age - a combination that’s difficult anywhere, but toxic in Hollywood. Thankfully, Diana still knows how to play the game. Working her old contacts and hustling for a job, she contends with crazy young ingénues, lecherous studio heads, and the cutthroat attention of her fellow fading beauties. But there’s an added twist: On and off the set, she can’t help stumbling over dead bodies. Tragedy follows Diana Poole, and in Hollywood, tragedy comes cheap. ungekürzt. Language: English.
