Inhalt: No matter how much critics and readers love him, Connelly's Harry Bosch is definitely a downer. To catch the spirit of the popular series without sending listeners leaping out of their windows requires an unusually talented reader, who can take the tiny shreds of light the author sprinkles very sparingly through his dark and bloody outings and turn them into veritable bonfires. Fortunately, Cariou is a veteran of four previous Bosch audios who knows his man down to his obsessive socks. Cariou can also do Connelly's normal, only semidepressed supporting characters with grace and depth: Harry's female partner, other cops with mixed motives, crooked lawyers, on-the-make politicians, even a convicted serial killer trying to escape the death penalty by reopening one of Bosch's old wounds. Cariou, of course, can't remove Harry's guilt or ease his obsessions: he's an actor, not a therapist. But his talent adds a Prozac-like sense of ease not to be taken lightly.

Inhalt: The inimitable Richard Jury returns in the latest in the bestselling mystery series: "Martha Grimes has written a whodunit with terrific characters and a grand plot mixed with her unique droll wit. Vertigo 42 is one smart mystery!" (Susan Isaacs, bestselling author of Goldberg Variations )
Richard Jury is meeting Tom Williamson at Vertigo 42, a bar on the forty-second floor of an office building in London's financial district. Despite inconclusive evidence, Tom is convinced his wife, Tess, was murdered seventeen years ago. The inspector in charge of the case was sure Tess's death was accidental-a direct result of vertigo-but the official police inquiry is still an open verdict and Jury agrees to re-examine the case.
Jury learns that a nine-year-old girl fell to her death five years before Tess at the same place in Devon where Tess died, at a small house party. Jury seeks out the five surviving party guests, who are now adults, hoping they can shed light on this bizarre coincidence. Ultimately, four deaths-two in the past, two that occur on the pages of this intricate, compelling novel-keep Richard Jury and his sidekick Sergeant Wiggins running from their homes in Islington to the countryside in Devon and to London as they try to figure out if the deaths were accidental or not. And, if they are connected.
Witty, well-written, with literary references from Thomas Hardy to Yeats, Vertigo 42 is a pitch perfect, page-turning novel from a mystery writer at the top of her game. Systematik: Engl., , Roman Umfang: 435 Seiten Beteiligte:Grimes, Martha Standort: Engl. Gri ISBN: 978-1-4767-2405-8

Inhalt: A lawyer's advice to his childran as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitude to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hyprisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.

Inhalt: George Orwell's picture of a world in which personal freedom is denied, where lies replace truth and where resistance is punished by torture, is one of the most powerful satires ever written. When Winston Smith rebels against the authority of Big Brother and his treachery is uncovered, he must be made to suffer the consequences. Das Wort "Big brother ist watching you!" ist allgemein bekannt. Es ist Synonym für den perfekten Überwachungsstaat, für das Ende jeder Individualität und Menschlichkeit, für das Eindringen eines Herrschaftsbereichs in die Intimsphäre und sogar in die Gedanken geworden. Mit "1984", seinem letzten Roman, den George Orwell 1948 kurz vor seinem Tod veröffentlichte, wurde der Verfasser der wohl bekanntesten Schreckens-Utopie des 20. Jahrhunderts populär. Die Anti-Utopie, eingebettet in die totalitären Erfahrungen des Stalinismus wie auch des Faschismus in Spanien und des Nationalismus in Deutschland, aber auch des britischen Imperialismus, muss als Absage an jedwede Form von Totalitarismus gesehen werden. Orwell verstand das Buch ebenso wie seine Satire "Farm der Tiere" als Negativfolie für einen demokratischen Sozialismus. Das Jahr 1984 ist zwar vergangen, ohne dass sich die Schreckensvisionen erfüllt hätten, an Aktualität hat dieses Werk trotzdem kein bisschen verloren. Systematik: Engl., , Roman Umfang: 329 S.
