Cooper’s Moon
Thriller von Richard Conrath
“It was August when our seven-year-old son went missing. On a Tuesday morning in Muskingum, Ohio, trees still green under the punishing late summer sun….” And thus, Cooper’s Moon begins. While teaching philosophy at a small college in central Ohio, Cooper’s seven-year-old son, Maxie, is kidnapped, an event that would eventually destroy his marriage, his career, and his mental well-being, taking him from a rural, mid-western town into southeast Florida and the vicious world of child prostitution, gangs, and church treachery.

John Edmund Gardner (* 20. November 1926 in North East England; † 3. August 2007 in Basingstoke, Großbritannien) war ein britischer Schriftsteller und insbesondere Autor von Thrillern. „I read this back in the 1980s when a teenager when it first came out. It’s the only thriller that I’ve read to date (and I’ve read a lot since then) that made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck and made the book in-put-downable.“ (Rezensentin) (17 Rezensionen / 4,1 Sterne), 229 Seiten – noch gratis?

Künstliche Intelligenz war fast die letzte Erfindung der Menschheit. Die KI startete wie eine Rakete, dann, als sie eine beeindruckende Zahl von Toten verursachte, stürzte sie ab, bevor sie erblühen konnte, und nahm die meisten High-Tech-Industrien mit. Widerstand und Ängste wurden immer tiefer. „Well written story that explores technology and an ai awakening. Highly recommended!” (Leser) (4 Rezensionen / 5,0 Sterne), 410 Seiten – noch gratis?

Those People
Thriller von Louise Candlish
Until Darren and Jodie move in, Lowland Way is a suburban paradise. Beautiful homes. Friendly neighbours. Kids playing out in the street. But Darren and Jodie don’t follow the rules and soon disputes over loud music and parking rights escalate to threats of violence. Then, early one Sunday, a horrific crime shocks the street. As the police go house-to-house, the residents close ranks and everyone’s story is the same: They did it.
2019 veröffentlicht. “In typical Candlish style, none of the characters are exactly likeable. The pace is fast, switching between narrators and police interviews. We see what each person is dealing with, both in terms of the new neighbors as well as behind closed doors.” (Leserin) (83 Rezensionen / 3,8 Sterne), 400 Seiten noch günstig?
