High Marks for Murder
Historischer Krimi von Kate Kingsbury
It is the height of women’s suffrage in Edwardian England, and Meredith Llewellyn, headmistress of Bellehaven House Finishing School, has her hands full trying to turn rebellious, over-priviliged tomboys into graceful and accomplished young ladies. Her task is decidedly complicated by the ghosts of murdered victims who insist on her helping them bring their killers to justice. Watch the fun as Meredith does her best to keep her ghost-sleuthing a secret from her wayward charges, while trying to convince her fellow teachers that she’s not insane.

I’ve read the Pennyfoot novels and this book was written in a similar fashion. It also correlates with what’s going on historically at that point in time.“ (Rezensentin) (23 Rezensionen / 3,8 Sterne), 179 Seiten – noch gratis?

Four Stars For Danger
Krimi von John Burke
Writer Ellen Sawyer is travelling round Britain for her investigation into how un-escorted women are treated in hotels. On the recommendation of a co-worker, Ellen visits a grand guest house in Wales, only to find it has shut its gates at the height of the season. If that wasn’t unusual enough, a geologist is then found dead in a boat belonging to Commander David Parr – the owner of the establishment. Soon it becomes apparent that something is very wrong as a conspiracy begins to unfold.
John Burke, 1922 – 2011, war ein britischer Autor von Romanen und Kurzgeschichten. Viele seiner Werke waren Romanfassungen bekannter Filme, andere, wie dieses, eigenständige Werke. „Four Stars for Danger is a pretty good thriller with just a touch of the gothic. It is important to realize that this is a reprint of an older title, otherwise you might be a bit put off by the chauvinism. Ellen Sawyer may be the lead character, but it is her male support who manages to solve all the intellectual aspects of the puzzle as well as guides her out of the physical danger.“ (Rezensent) (1 Rezension / 4,0 Sterne) 180 Seiten – noch gratis?

Dead Before Dying
Thriller von Deon Meyer
Mat Joubert was one of the rising stars of the South African police force, a cop on the fast-track to the future. Not only that; to his eternal incomprehension – and despite chronic ineptness around the opposite sex – he had managed to marry a fascinating, beautiful and intelligent woman. A rosy future beckoned. Then she was killed, and with her his hopes and his career gradually died.
Ein ziemlich schräger Serienmörder und ein ziemlich verzweifelter Detektiv. “The multi-layered plot is so gripping, I didn’t want the book to end and at the same time, couldn’t wait to finish it. This is definitely one of my favorite Deon Meyer books, and they’re all terrific.” (Leser) (68 Rezensionen / 4,4 Sterne), 474 Seiten noch günstig?

Trackers
Thriller von Deon Meyer
A housewife running from years of domestic abuse. A bodyguard hired to escort a smuggled rhinoceros. A group of Islamic terrorists based in a quiet residential street. A secret government agency threatened with amalgamation within a bigger department. A retired policeman trying to get used to his new career in the private sector.
Ein Thriller, in dem scheinbar nicht zusammenhängende Verbrechen doch noch verwoben werden. “Each primary protagonist of the three distinct stories in TRACKERS has an enigmatic personality, a moral imperative, and palpable inner conflicts–and Meyer winds the three plots into a robust and ropy overlap.” (Leser) (124 Rezensionen / 4,2 Sterne), 474 Seiten noch günstig?

Devil’s Peak

Then the boy is taken from Thobela, one of a staggering number of children murdered or abused in South Africa, and Thobela knows only despair…and a cold desire for revenge. Thus is born the vigilante killer known as ‚Artemis‘.
Der erste Band der Danny-Griesel-Reihe. “Deon Meyer, who writes in Afrikaans, portrays a world of terrifying uncertainty, in which those who fought for liberation from apartheid are having to come to terms with the knowledge that freedom is not enough to wipe out cruelty. A thoughtful and exciting novel.” (Times Literary Supplement) (98 Rezensionen / 4,5 Sterne), 420 Seiten noch günstig?
Almost Right with the World Liebesroman von Lucinda O’NeillPassionella Davenport war nicht mehr willig, ihr Herz zu riskieren, nachdem ihr Ehemann Fletcher, ein Off-Broadway Theaterdirektor gestanden hat, dass er Männer vorzieht. Jetzt, zehn Jahre später, steht sie vor einer zweiten Chance im Leben und der Liebe an einem höchst unwahrscheinlichen Ort. „Ms. O’Neill’s style is much to be admired. Her writing is witty, literate, and restrained where one frequently encounters scenery-chewing excess. I found it impossible not to have some level of identification with and sympathy for pretty much everyone.“ (Rezensent) (14 Rezensionen / 4,9 Sterne), 222 Seiten – noch gratis?
