    The Great Merlini: The Complete Stories of the Magician Detective , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 327min
    A dozen compact puzzles from a master of the locked-room mystery The Great Merlini waits impatiently at the door of the Hotel Astor. Inspector Church is late for his meeting with the famed magician, with whom he consults when homicide cases venture outside the realm of the possible. A ventriloquist has attempted suicide in the wake of his wife’s mysterious strangulation. Among the suspects are a snake charmer, a nine-foot giant, a tattooed man, and a gaggle of crap players - and this is one of Merlini’s simple cases. He will pick out the killer, with no more effort than he might a rabbit in a top hat. In these 12 short stories, all originally published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, Clayton Rawson’s greatest detective confronts puzzles that would leave a lesser magician’s head spinning. From vanishing blackmailers to murderous mediums, no cosmic crime can baffle the Great Merlini. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gregory Gorton.

    The Performance of Medicine: Techniques from the Stage to Optimize the Patient Experience and Restore the Joy of Practicing Medicine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 416min
    Medical practice is undergoing the most radical changes seen in decades. Novel reimbursement models, impersonalization caused by technology, and increasing demands on providers' limited time are causing unhappiness among practitioners and patients alike. Yet, the patient experience and patient satisfaction are more important than ever. Patient experience affects patient outcomes, and patient satisfaction scores will affect how much physicians and other health care providers get paid.   In The Performance of Medicine, Dr. Bob Baker offers practical strategies and techniques that physicians and other practitioners can implement easily and immediately to give patients the best possible experience with no additional expenditure of time.  An internist/gastroenterologist with 35 years of private practice experience, as well as a professional magician/ventriloquist with 50 years of live performance experience, Dr. Baker seamlessly weaves the techniques he used to garner top reviews from his patients and audiences alike. His audiobook is practical, substantive, warm, and humorous. His love of medicine and of his patients shines through and will inspire health care providers to rediscover the joys of medicine. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Baker MD.

    White Hot , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 490min
    New York Times best-selling author of Cold Ridge, Florida's, lush Gold Coast lends an exotic backdrop to this dazzling tale of fiery sensuality and searing suspense. Mollie Lavender just moved to Palm Beach to start a public-relations business, and things are going swimmingly. So far her clients include a dog, a 90-year-old ventriloquist, and a grumpy astronaut. But when she runs into hard-hitting reporter Jeremiah Tabak, she learns that even a decade isn't enough time to heal a broken heart. Society parties aren't Jeremiah's usual beat, but there's a cat burglar on the loose, and a hot tip suggests his old flame is right in the thick of things. Seeing Mollie stirs up old desires...and new suspicions. Is it coincidence she attended every gala where the burglar struck? Jeremiah thinks not. The only way Mollie can prove her innocence is to help set a dangerous trap to catch the real thief. But Jeremiah's touch triggers powerful emotions...and the next thing stolen might be Mollie's heart. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alyson Silverman.

    Poor Advice and Other Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 366min
    An awful poet, dumped by his girlfriend, roams through Italy, where he clearly doesn't belong; an oil delivery man falls in love with a clumsy woman and becomes even clumsier than she is; and a six-year-old and his father kill over 200 flies at a horse farm while the father wonders about life and death. Poor Advice and Other Stories, with its mix of the serious and the absurd, reveals Lou Gaglia's humor, imagination, and range. A man avoids paying a World Series bet to a dying old woman; a vindictive whale chases after movie stars; and a man is jealous of his brother-in-law's ventriloquist dummy. Find these stories and many others in Mr. Gaglia's debut book. Lou Gaglia puts the entertainment back in literary fiction. Many of his characters seem laughable and misguided in their fumbling ways, but the listener will come to love them for their heart-warming innocence. You will laugh, you will cry, but mostly you will go away remembering his vivid characters, his spot-on dialogue, and his varying modes of conveying the stories in this unique collection, all of which reflect the talents of an outstanding fiction writer. ungekürzt.

    Good Times!, Hörbuch, Digital, 160min
    He street jams in spandex and wrestles in lycra. He's been a magician, a ventriloquist and a clown. He's hugged some of the biggest stars in the world, and pretty much anyone else who's crossed his path. He mucks about, wears silly costumes, and manhandles his friend Alan Carr on national TV on a weekly basis. And people have literally paid him to do all this. Good times! But life wasn't always so kind to young Justin. The years stacking shelves at Bristol's Marks and Spencer weren't exactly a high point. Being told to 'walk faster' by his boss and being given a final warning...bad times. But mere retail couldn't keep him down! This hilarious coming-of-age story follows his journey from collecting Star Wars toys as a small boy to schmoozing Carrie Fisher in her Hollywood home, and becoming one of the most loved and instantly recognised faces on British TV.For each new twist his life has taken, he hasn't changed a bit. He's as bouncy, funny, shambolic, huggable, and of course, Bristolian, as he's ever been. This is the story of how it all happened - by accident.But this is not just a routine celebrity autobiography/memoir - that would be boring. Especially for Justin himself, whose attention span is that of a small child at the best of times. Instead, this is JLC utilising his remarkable photographic memory to ponder the unfeasibly peculiar and funny moments that have defined his life, and desperately trying to make sense of it all. Rock on! Language: English. Narrator: Justin Lee Collins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rhuk/000482/bk_rhuk_000482_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
