Swerve
Krimi von Mike Markel
The Central Montana State community has waited a year to learn whether Syclone Systems, a maker of self-driving car technology, will enter into a long-term R&D partnership with the university. At a live demo on campus, where the company is expected to announce its decision, its man on campus, Bryan Orville, is run down by one of his experimental cars. Whoever altered the car’s computer code to kill him also erased all the forensic evidence.
Der neueste Band der wirklich empfehlenswerten Krimis mit den beiden ungleichen Detektiven Karen Seagate und Ryan Miner von dem amerikanischen Autor Mike Markel. „As I hate „predictable“ this one was perfect for me! Lots of viable suspects – any one of whom could have „fit the bill“.“ (Leser) (10 Rezensionen / 4,6 Sterne), 338 Seiten – noch gratis?

Ice Station Zebra
Thriller von Alistair MacLean
The atomic submarine Dolphin has impossible orders: to sail beneath the ice-floes of the Arctic Ocean to locate and rescue the men of weather-station Zebra, gutted by fire and drifting with the ice-pack somewhere north of the Arctic Circle. But the orders do not say what the Dolphin will find if she succeeds – that the fire at Ice Station Zebra was sabotage, and that one of the survivors is a killer…
Alistair MacLean (1922 – 1987) war ein Thriller-Autor aus Schottland. Seine rasanten Bücher, die auch vielfach verfilmt worden sind, gelten heute als Meilensteine der Spannungsliteratur im 20. Jahrhundert. “The fire under the ice is one of the more exciting, truly knuckle-biting episodes in fiction. And as always, MacLean sprinkles bits of wry humor throughout.” (Leserin) (89 Rezensionen / 4,4 Sterne), 400 Seiten noch günstig?
Flapjack
Thriller von Daniel Ganninger
Murphy and Galveston realize there must be more to life than their mind-numbing cubical jobs. Over a barbeque lunch, Galveston attempts to convince his friend to join him in a daring new career as a private investigator. With nothing to lose, Murphy reluctantly agrees. Relying heavily on their humorous wit and questionable tactics, the men employ a creative approach to their investigations. For a time these methods prove successful, until they push too far and find themselves mired in the case of a lifetime.
Daniel Ganninger schreibt eine Serie mit trivialem, aber faszinierendem Wissen und eine Serie mit witzigen Thrillern. „The author has created a pair of quirky, not-so-legal detective/mercenary types who get into all kinds of humorous troubles and get out of them with the grace of a punch-drunk Bond ripoff. If you’re into detectives or thrillers or just a good humorous piece of fiction, this one’s for you.“ (Leser) (229 Rezensionen / 4,1 Sterne), 304 Seiten – noch gratis?
Die Ankunft des Erben eines englischen Grafentitels in der hügeligen Stadt Nuala in den 30er Jahren in Ceylon meldet dem unglückseligen Inspektor de Silva mehr Ärger und ein neues Rätsel, das gelöst werden muss. Dazu kommt ein unglaublich reicher rumänischer Graf, seine bezaubernde Gräfin und ein rätselhafter britischer Armee-Offizier. „Brilliantly written detective story set against the backdrop of 1930s colonial Ceylon. The superb characterisation and setting had me captured from the very start.“ (Leser) (10 Rezensionen / 4,5 Sterne), 228 Seiten – noch gratis?
Die große irische Hungersnot wegen eingegangener Kartoffeln liegt für Paddy O’Brien, den jungen Erbauer von Luftschiffen fast ein Jahrzehnt zurück, aber die Auswirkungen verfolgen ihn immer noch. Dann findet er seine Mutter tot im Garten vor. Aber er hat keine Zeit ihren Mord zu ermitteln, weil ein Flüchtling aus einem sonderbaren Luftschiff fällt, praktisch in seine Arme. „Emerson paints a beautiful picture of medieval airships in the sky in contrast with the hard life of famine and depression on Irish soil that you can vividly picture this world that is so alien to us and yet so real because of the remarkable imagery she has created.“ (Leserin) (7 Rezensionen / 5,0 Sterne), 369 Seiten – noch gratis?

Covent Garden in the Snow
Weihnachtlicher Liebesroman von Jules Wake
Tilly Hunter has fabulous friends, her dream job as a make-up artist with a prestigious opera company and Felix, her kind and caring husband to be. It looks set to be the most perfect Christmas yet! But when a monumental blunder forces her to work closely with new IT director Marcus Walker, it’s not only the roast chestnut stalls on the cobbles of her beloved Covent Garden that cause sparks to fly… Super serious and brooding, Marcus hasn’t got a creative bone in his sharp-suited body. For technophobe Tilly, it’s a match made in hell.
Jules Wake ist eine englische Autorin von sehr liebenswerten romantischen Romanen. “Loved this novel – full of everything you’d want in a great Christmassy read trees/decorations/snow/family warmth. The Covent Garden location was fabulous as were the detailed descriptions of everything that goes on backstage to put a performance on.” (Leserin) (68 Rezensionen / 4,6 Sterne), 481 Seiten noch günstig?
Widow Walk
Thriller von Gar LaSalle
In the early days of the American Pacific Northwest, small settlements dot the wilds of streams and dense woods. Isaac Evers, a community leader and former militiaman, has established a small colony on Whidbey Island. Though the area appears calmer than in the past, the northern indigenous clans still threaten the livelihood of Isaac’s growing family. While Isaac is away on expeditions, his wife Emmy tends to the many duties required of a property owner on Whidbey Island.
Gar LaSalle ist ein Mediziner, Filmemacher, Bildhauer und preisgekrönter Romanautor. „The characters are powerfully intriguing; some we follow with admiration, some with terrifying fascination. Even the geography of this northwest tale becomes a living part of the story, rich in details of the beauty and challenges of living and surviving at this time period in this land.“ (Leser) (229 Rezensionen / 4,1 Sterne), 254 Seiten – noch gratis?
Lee Livingston ist ein Werbefachmann, der ein Unternehmen zur Produktion von Werbefilmen betreibt. Und in diesem Buch geht er zurück ins Jahr 1961, in ein anderes Amerika und ein vergnügliche Anhalterreise mit einem Freund. „What a great open-hearted adventures book. One I really liked. During an era that I am not familiar with are two- eighteen year old boys who go on a cross country journey from California to Cleveland. In this adventure are beautifully described back drafts and original townsfolk. I like how you can sit back and become one with the story. How it makes you feel like you are right there riding beside Lee and his friend Dango.“ (Leser) (20 Rezensionen / 4,6 Sterne), 207 Seiten – noch gratis?
