Angel Dust
Krimi von „Anthea Cohen
Sister Agnes Carmichael has finally decided it’s time for her to retire. Leaving the casualty department at Hemmington General, one she’d grown fond of, was a large step for her. Leaving her beautiful cottage was another step towards the new life she envisioned. Unable to settle as a retiree, Sister Carmichael takes up another position at a private hospital. Things are very different here – starting with the patients, whose privileges entitle them to a level above the average person. Getting used to their ways was a learning curve for Sister Carmichael.

The Silence of the Sea
Krimi von Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
A luxury yacht arrives in Reykjavik harbour with nobody on board. What has happened to the crew, and to the family who were on board when it left Lisbon? Thora Gudmundsdottir is hired by the young father’s parents to investigate, and is soon drawn deeper into the mystery. What should she make of the rumours saying that the vessel was cursed, especially given that when she boards the yacht she thinks she sees one of the missing twins? Where is Karitas, the glamorous young wife of the yacht’s former owner? And whose is the body that has washed up further along the shore?
Band 6 der Thora Gudmundsdottir Krimis. „Reading about a mystery whilst at the same time knowing more than the investigators is a familiar device, but the author handles it very well here, ratcheting up the tension as the story switches from Iceland to the yacht, and back again.“ (Leser) (139 Rezensionen / 3,8 Sterne), 433 Seiten noch günstig?

Martin Luther, Machiavelli and Murder
Historischer Krimi von Maryann Philip
The corruption and grandeur of Renaissance Rome during young Martin Luther’s real-life visit form the backdrop to this tale of murder, war and papal politics.

The Graveyard of the Hesperides
Historischer Krimi von Lindsey Davis
Albia is a remarkable woman in what is very much a man’s world: young, widowed and fiercely independent, she lives alone on the Aventine Hill in Rome and makes a good living as a hired investigator. An outsider in more ways than one, Albia has unique insight into life in ancient Rome, and she puts it to good use going places no man could go, and asking questions no man could ask.
Band 4 der Serie “This excellent Roman mystery, enriched by Davis’s characteristic wit and thorough understanding of the period, takes a darker turn as Flavia delves into Rome’s poorest streets, rife with prostitution, exploitation, thuggery and murder.” (Sunday Express) (101 Rezensionen / 4,6 Sterne), 336 Seiten noch günstig?

Sufficient Ransom Thriller von Sylvia SarnoWas eine Mutter nicht für ihr Kind tun würde. Ann Olson sieht ihr Leben als gesichert an, bis ihr junger Sohn Travis eines Abends vom Hinterhof verschwindet. Ann sucht nach ihrem Sohn und verwirft jede Vorsicht. Schnell findet sie sich in der schäbigen Welt von mexikanischen Drogenhändlern verwickelt, die gerade jenseits der Grenze in Tijuana tätig sind. „Very interesting story that explores not only one couple’s relationship, but how the world of mega churches can so easily go wrong when the people at the helm of the church are so passionate about their calling that they lose track of reality and what’s right. I was fascinated by the mega church pastor and the rationalizations he used for his actions.“ (Leserin) (84 Rezensionen / 4,0 Sterne), 327 Seiten – noch gratis?
