Final Analysis: The Untold Story of the Susan Polk Murder Case, Hörbuch, Digital, 346min
In October 2002, Susan Polk, a housewife and mother of three, was arrested for the murder of her husband, Felix. The arrest in her sleepy Northern California town kicked off what would become one of the most captivating murder trials in recent memory, as police, local attorneys, and the national media sought to unravel the complex web of events that sent this seemingly devoted housewife over the edge.Now, with exclusive access and in-depth reporting, New York Times best-selling author Catherine Crier turns an analytical eye on Susan Polk's story, delving into her past and examining how over 20 years of marriage culminated in murder. Tracing the family's history, Crier skillfully maneuvers the murky waters of the Polks' marriage, looking at the real story behind Susan, Felix, and their unorthodox courtship.With extraordinary detail, Crier dissects the dangerous relationship between husband and wife, exposing their psychological motivations and the painful impact those motivations had on their sons, Adam, Eli, and Gabriel. Drawing on sources from all sides of the case, Crier masterfully reconstructs the tumultuous chronology of the Polk family, telling the story of how Susan and Felix struggled to control their rambunctious sons and their disintegrating marriage in the years and months leading up to Felix's death.But the history of the Polk family is only half the story. Here Crier also elucidates the methodical police work of the murder investigation, revealing never-before-seen photos and writings from the case file. In addition, she carefully scrutinizes the many twists and turns of the remarkable trial, exploring Susan's struggles with her defense attorneys and her shocking decision to represent herself.Dark, psychological, and terrifying, Final Analysis is a harrowing look at the recesses of the human mind and the trauma that reveals them.

Dave Barry's Money Secrets: Like: Why Is There a Giant Eyeball on the Dollar? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 330min
Did you ever wish that you really understood money? Well, Dave Barry wishes that he did, too. But that hasn't stopped him from writing a book about how to understand money. In it, Dave explores (as only he can) such topics as: How the U.S. economy works, including the often-overlooked role of Adam Sandler. Why it is not a good idea to use squirrels for money. Strategies that will give you the confidence you need to try for a good job, even though you are, let's be honest, a no-talent loser. Why corporate executives, simply by walking into their offices, immediately become much stupider. An absolutely foolproof system for making money in the stock market, requiring only a little effort (and access to time travel). Surefire tips for buying and selling real estate, the key one being: Never buy, or for that matter sell, real estate. How to minimize your federal taxes, safely and legally, by cheating. Why good colleges cost so much, and how to make sure your child does not get into one. How to reduce the cost of your medical care by basically not getting any. Estate planning, especially the often-overlooked financial benefits of early death.But that's only the beginning! Dave has also included in this book all of the important points in a book written by Donald Trump, so you don't have to read it yourself. Plus he explains how to tip; how to negotiate for everything, including bridge tolls; how to argue with your spouse about money; and how much allowance to give your children (three dollars is plenty). He also presents, for the first time in print anywhere, the Car Dealership Code of Ethics ("Ethic Seven: The customer is an idiot"). Also there are many gratuitous references to Angelina Jolie naked. You can't afford NOT to buy this book! Probably you need several. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dick Hill. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/brll/001065/bk_brll_001065_sample.mp3.
