When the Siren Sings
Historischer Thriller von Laura Dowers
The year is 1938. The place: London. When young and handsome Daniel Beck leaves prison, he knows what he’s going to do. He’s going to play it straight: find some digs, get a job, and stay away from anything criminal. At least, that’s the plan! But then Danny meets Phoebe Merrill, a poor little rich girl, and he realises playing it straight is the wrong way to get what he wants. Unfortunately for Danny, although Phoebe has the face of an angel, there’s a devil inside, and she wants Danny’s help to murder her father.

Unnatural Habits
Historischer Krimi von Kerry Greenwood
1929: pretty little golden-haired girls are going missing in Melbourne. But they’re not just pretty. Three of them are pregnant, poor girls from the harsh confines of the Magdalen Laundry. People are getting nervous. Polly Kettle, a pushy, self-important Girl Reporter with ambition and no sense of self preservation, decides to investigate – and promptly goes missing herself. It’s time for Phryne and Dot to put a stop to this and find Polly Kettle before something quite irreparable happens to all of them.
Die Australierin Kerry Greenwood, geb. 1954, schreibt mehrere Krimiserien. Am bekanntesten sind die Geschichten um Phryne Fischer im Melbourne der 20er Jahre, eine wohlhabende und lebenslustige Heldin. “The mix of a truly nasty crime, draconian nuns and a splash of gin, high fashion and jazz makes every page a delight.” (Leserin) (191 Rezensionen / 4,5 Sterne), 346 Seiten noch günstig?

The Burning Room
Thriller von Michael Connelly
In the LA Police’s Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet ten years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but any other evidence is virtually non-existent. Now Bosch and his new partner, rookie Detective Lucia Soto, are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case.

His novels featuring Harry Bosch are the most accurate, realistic portrayals of elite detectives solving the toughest cases.” (Rezensent) (6.472 Rezensionen / 4,4 Sterne), 401 Seiten noch günstig?

Where Have All the Elves Gone?
Fantasy von Christian Warren Freed
Everyone knows Elves don’t exist. Or do they? Daniel Thomas spent years making a career of turning his imagination into the reality of best selling fantasy novels. But times are tough. No one wants to read about elves and dragons anymore. Daniel learns this firsthand when his agent flatly says no to his latest and, what he deems, to be greatest novel yet. Dissatisfied with the turn to zombies and vampire lovers, he takes his manuscript and heads out to confront his agent. His world changes when he finds his agent dying on the floor of her office.
Christian Warren Freed ist ein amerikanischer Autor von SciFi und Fantasy. Mit diesem, seinem neuesten Buch hat er sich etwas von seinen normalerweise militärisch ausgerichteten Romanen entfernt. „The common elements of fantasy such as magic, dragons, dwarves, and eleven culture are integrated into present day America in very interesting ways that leave you begging for a deeper dive into the world. Freed’s style shines the most in the action.“ (Leser) (11 Rezensionen / 4.4 Sterne) 290 Seiten – noch gratis?
Der Australier Gordon Alexander unterwegs quer über die Inseln und Vulkane von Indonesien. “I loved the respect he shows for the characters he meets and travels with and the environment through which he ventures. As a traveler myself, I understand that sometimes you have to do difficult things to do and see things that most people only dream about. And Mr. Alexander is no slouch when it comes to telling it like it is, warts and all. This is a great story that strongly reflects one man’s genuine love for travel and adventure through a world less visited.” (Leserin) (1 Rezension / 5,0 Sterne), 181 Seiten – noch gratis?
