Dr. Morelle Takes a Bow
Krimi von Ernest Dudley
Miss Frayle is no longer employed by psychiatrist and detective, Dr. Morelle. Her replacement is beyond frustrating and Dr. Morelle would do anything to have Miss Frayle back in his employ. As luck has it, Miss Frayle, who is now working for Hugo Coltman, head of a drama school, comes to Dr. Morelle with an invitation for him to lecture at the drama school. Thinking that accepting the invitation may help towards enticing Miss Frayle back to working for him, he accepts. But, what turns out to be an innocent lecture, soon turns into a suspicious one.

Suffer Little Children
Historischer Krimi von Peter Tremayne
In the mid-7th Century AD, the Venerable Dacán, a much respected and beloved scholar of the Celtic Church, has been found murdered while on a visit to a remote abbey in the Irish Kingdom of Muman. When Dacán’s foul death is used by a neighbouring kingdom to demand reparation from Muman, bloody war seems imminent. Summoned by Muman’s dying king to investigate, Sister Fidelma is asked to solve the mystery of the brutal killing and by doing so to prevent the inevitable war breaking out between the two opposing kingdoms. She sets out for the remote abbey with a warrior named Cass – and very little time.
Band 3 der Serie. “The Irish, unlike the English have always shown a much greater respect and admiration for their womenfolk and this is why, even in an age when most countries treated women with little or no regard, other than for breeding an heir, that Sister Fidelma has risen to the position that she now holds. Although she is the sister of a king, this has little or no bearing on her ability to command respect.” (Leserin) (24 Rezensionen / 4,6 Sterne), 356 Seiten noch günstig?

But the crew and cargo have vanished – as if by sorcery… Whose is the body in the well? Where is the crew of the vessel? Are these bizarre events connected? And if so, who is responsible?The year is AD 666, and Sister Fidelma of Kildare, advocate of the Brehon law courts, must follow a trail of clues and investigate a host of enigmatic suspects to unravel the puzzle.
Band 4 der Serie. “I find the character and time fascinating. A long-time interest in Ireland, where my father’s family was from, was ignited this summer by a trip to „Eireann“. Sister Fidelma’s adventures have kept the flame burning. I love the mention of places I’d seen.” (Leserin) (24 Rezensionen / 4,6 Sterne), 356 Seiten noch günstig?

Der Autor und zukünftige Vater Mickey Mazen, der seine lebenslangen Ersparnisse in einem gescheiterten Unternehmen verloren hat, muss seine Träume begraben, um zu überleben. Um sich selber zu retten, tritt er dem lukrativen, aber äußerst strapaziösen Unternehmen bei, das amerikanische Aale kauft und exportiert, die in Europa und Asien hoch geschätzte Delikatessen sind. „Ted Fink has written a brilliant novel about a man searching for both meaning and financial success in a fascinating and improbable venue – the eel industry. His descriptions of the processes and tribulations of catching, buying, transporting and exporting tons of living, slithering eels are vivid and evoke Melville’s loving detailed descriptions of the whaling industry.“ (Leser) (15 Rezensionen / 5,0 Sterne), 455 Seiten – noch gratis?

Flaubert’s Parrot
Literarischer Roman von Julian Barnes
Flaubert’s Parrot deals with Flaubert, parrots, bears and railways; with our sense of the past and our sense of abroad; with France and England, life and art, sex and death, George Sand and Louise Colet, aesthetics and redcurrant jam; and with its enigmatic narrator, a retired English doctor, whose life and secrets are slowly revealed. A compelling weave of fiction and imaginatively ordered fact, Flaubert’s Parrot is by turns moving and entertaining, witty and scholarly, and a tour de force of seductive originality.
Julian Patrick Barnes (* 19. Januar 1946 in Leicester; als Pseudonym gelegentlich Dan Kavanagh) ist ein englischer Schriftsteller. Der internationale Durchbruch gelang ihm 1984 mit seinem dritten Roman, Flauberts Papagei (Originaltitel: Flaubert’s Parrot), der zu den kanonischen Werken des postmodernen britischen Romans zählt. Und den ich mit großem Vergnügen gerne persönlich empfehle. „The writing is unfailingly sharp and often very funny, and among the best prose I have read in years.“ (SUNDAY TIMES) (180 Rezensionen / 3,8 Sterne), 193 Seiten noch günstig?
Molly
Historischer Roman von Ellie Keaton
America is at war and Molly, a qualified pilot, is determined to use her skills in the air against the Nazis.

Travelling to England means crossing the Atlantic – a journey filled with peril as the German U-boats patrol these waters. Determined to fly, Molly and her friends cross the sea to fulfil their dream only to find the cost of the trip is much higher than Molly ever imagined.
Ellie Keaton ist eine Irin und hat sich auf Geschichten mit Frauen im 2. Weltkrieg spezialisiert. “I found this a thoroughly enjoyable read and really got hooked into the story of Molly and her adventures. A bit of an emotional rollercoaster, but in a good way!” (Leser) (46 Rezensionen / 4,7 Sterne), 302 Seiten – noch gratis?
Aus der Asche des Reichs von Pablo Escobar ist ein sogar noch größeres und übelwollenderes Kartell aufgestiegen. Ihr Leiter war Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela – wegen seiner Voraussicht und kalkulierten Gerissenheit bekannt als der Schachspieler. Gilberto und sein erschreckender Bruder Miguel haben ein milliarden-starkes Drogenreich wie ein Unternehmen betrieben. “Some of these narcos books tend to have too many names and characters, but Attwood focuses on a limited number of key players in the Cali Mafia and sticks to a tight plot that makes the book hard to put down.” (Leserin) (38 Rezensionen / 4,5 Sterne), 214 Seiten – noch gratis?
