The Clockmaker's Daughter
From the bestselling author of The House at Riverton and The Secret Keeper, Kate Morton brings us her dazzling sixth novel, The Clockmaker's Daughter.My real name, no one remembers. The truth about that summer, no one else knows.In the summer of 1862, a group of young artists led by the passionate and talented Edward Radcliffe descends upon Birchwood Manor on the banks of the Upper Thames. Their plan: to spend a secluded summer month in a haze of inspiration and creativity. But by the time their stay is over, one woman has been shot dead while another has disappeared; a priceless heirloom is missing; and Edward Radcliffe's life is in ruins.Over one hundred and fifty years later, Elodie Winslow, a young archivist in London, uncovers a leather satchel containing two seemingly unrelated items: a sepia photograph of an arresting-looking woman in Victorian clothing, and an artist's sketchbook containing the drawing of a twin-gabled house on the bend of a river.Why does Birchwood Manor feel so familiar to Elodie? And who is the beautiful woman in the photograph? Will she ever give up her secrets?Told by multiple voices across time, The Clockmaker's Daughter is a story of murder, mystery and thievery, of art, love and loss. And flowing through its pages like a river, is the voice of a woman who stands outside time, whose name has been forgotten by history, but who has watched it all unfold: Birdie Bell, the clockmaker's daughter.- Shop: buecher

Death Wish: Blood Bound Series, Book 12 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 392min
Getting mixed up with the underground thievery ring run by demons had been easy... it was escaping them once they decided to kill her that Lacey was having trouble with. When her partner dies just to give her a head start, she doesn't let his sacrifice go to waste and runs like a horde of demons are chasing her... which they are. How was she to know that her escape route would lead her straight into the middle of a demon war and into the arms of a sexy stranger that was more powerful than her worse nightmare? Ren thought he'd caught him a little thief only to find that hidden under layers of boy clothes and dirt was the most desirable temptress he'd ever seen. Realizing that she'd been branded with a demon's mark and seemed to have a death wish, Ren quickly decides that the only way to keep her alive is to not let her out of his sight. If the demons were suicidal enough to think they were going to steal her away from him, he would give them their own death wish. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Anthony Davis.

Delia's Debt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 341min, (USK 18)
Britain, 1851 At 25, Delia has avoided marrying her betrothed. Her excuse: helping her father run his shop at the market. The few pence they had have run out and with no dowry, Delia doesn't have many prospects, except for the one man she's promised to, Fred Hill. She'd rather set herself on fire than marry him. In secret, she's been reading the newspaper and communicating with a gentleman across town that is in dire need of a governess. How bad could schooling a young girl be? With a knack for thievery, Delia convinces her father's coachman to take her to the train station, set for an adventure far from home. Meeting the elusive and handsome Charles Hayward proves troubling as she learns that she'd stolen from him and will be expected to pay him back her debt. Charles runs a strict household and expects constant obedience. Discovering true submission and his desire to discipline, Delia finds her bottom bared far more than she'd like. Not for the faint of heart, Delia's Debt contains elements of age play, anal play, scenes of spanking, and graphic sex. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Tebb.

The story of a Civil War soldier finding his humanity in the face of horrible savagery. Emerging from the Civil War a shamed and broken man, Stephen Latch turns to a life of thievery and murder.

Latch's plan calls for an unusual alliance, one made with Chief Satana and his band of Kiowas. The Kiowas are in desperate need of "firewater" - the rum and whiskey that Latch keeps secreted away - and Latch plans to use it to inspire them to levels of barbarism not seen anywhere else. Once the caravan drivers and passengers are dispatched with, Latch and his men will spirit away the now ownerless wagons, never to be seen again.

Malchus: Upward Way Chronicles, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 402min
In a world where everyone has something to say, Malchus Hemmings is silent. His alcoholic father has no patience for his mute son and throws Malchus out. The lad adapts to life on the streets of 19th-century Philadelphia - and survives by scrounging and begging...and neither seeks nor welcomes companionship. That is...until he stumbles into the crude living quarters of two orphan boys during a storm. When he is offered a bed for the night, the young Hemmings is drawn to the charismatic "Darby", who is two years older and takes his inability to speak in stride. Jim, a sullen 10-year-old, grudgingly accepts the newcomer into their partnership. Life is a series of ups and downs as Hemmings learns the art of thievery from his companions. He suffers abuse from street urchins, murderous gang leaders, and his own father, who seems to lurk in every shadow. Malchus longs to know God, but when the chilling hand of death strikes a severe blow, his fragile faith falters. With both his soul and life on the line, Malchus at last reaches out in desperation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Rockwell Black.

The Last Titanic Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 542min
What could possibly connect the famous sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and a WWII German U-boat loaded with a mysterious cargo? In this tribute to the 100th anniversary of the famous disaster, Chris Angus takes the reader on an adventure that includes shipwreck survivors, stolen treasures, a race across the Arctic and a century-old journal that holds the key to the connection and solving the mystery. Laura Engalls is an anthropologist working with the Inuit in Greenland when she’s shown the diary of sixteen year old Titanic survivor Samuel Meade – a diary whose story holds clues to the whereabouts of missing Titanic treasure. She enlists the help of reporter and Titanic fanatic Matt Mosher, as well as native Greenlander Ulrik, to uncover the truth. Together they begin an adventure that takes them across the inhospitable ice fields of Greenland. However, they soon discover they are not the only ones trying to unravel the mystery. What ensues is a tale of intrigue, international thievery and murder that ranges across 100 years, from the sinking of the famous ship and a plot hatched by Hitler himself to the machinations of present-day neo-Nazis and a modern-day treasure hunt for the truth. ungekürzt.
