Sunny Randall

Boston PI Sunny Randall investigates a popular book critic on a mean streak . . . only for her to wind up dead, in the latest thriller in Robert B. Parker’s bestselling series. World famous author&nbsp;Melanie Joan Hall asks for Sunny's help in tracking down Book Babe, the screen-name of an enormously popular book reviewer, who has trolled her with a deeply insulting one-star review. This usually wouldn’t matter except that Book Babe has thousands of followers, and her unwarranted blast has Melanie's publisher threatening to pull all her books. But Sunny's investigation reveals that the reviewer and Melanie have a rich history—in fact, she may even have good reason to hate the torn-up author. And when Book Babe suddenly turns up dead, casting Melanie as a possible suspect, Sunny finds herself in a complicated web, which, if she can't untangle fast enough, might just put a target on her back.

Robert B. Parker's Booked

Mermaids. Monsters. Magic. But this story is no fairy tale . . . Kilmara, Scotland. 1725. For fifty years, Iris has accepted the curse that blighted her life. By night, she is a heartbroken woman, destined to walk the misty shores of Kilmara without growing older. By day, she is Moireach, a terrifying monster imprisoned in the murky depths of Loch Moine. When bodies begin appearing on the shore, the villagers are convinced Moireach is responsible. So a hunter - the rugged, ruthless Henry Carver - is summoned to slay the monster of the loch. Iris must break her curse before she is killed for crimes she cannot believe she has committed. But as Kilmara's hunt for the monster becomes ever more fevered, she and Henry are drawn together in a dangerous game of impossible attraction. And when a figure from Iris's past suddenly reappears, she must choose what - or who - she is willing to sacrifice to win her freedom. Because there is no happily-ever-after when you are the monster. A glitteringly dark reimagining of The Little Mermaid set in eighteenth-century Scotland, this enchanting and gothic historical fantasy is perfect for fans of Rosie Andrews's The Leviathan, Georgia Leighton's Spellbound and anyone who loved Outlander. Real readers loved Lochbound 'Lochbound was crafted so well, weaving in folklore [alongside] the moving parts of the fates of each person...I really enjoyed!' NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'As soon as I started reading, I knew Lochbound was going to be a five-star read. And when I cried at the 11% mark, that cemented it. It was a great mashup of its inspirations, The Little Mermaid and Scotland's loch monsters...really emotional and I liked all the twists' NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Whimsical and folkloric, this standalone felt so immersive and the storyline was gripping until the very end. So many mysteries, plot twists and romantic tension that will keep you awake at nonsense o'clock...This book is a delight, perfect for romantasy readers!' NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'The worldbuilding was amazing!...I really liked the protagonist and the love interest' NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Lochbound is a standalone historical fantasy romance that felt like a dark fairytale... [it] kept me gripped throughout and had some surprising twists. I absolutely loved the setting, a small village in the Scottish highlands bordering a loch, and the creepy, unsettling atmosphere of the story' NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Shadow

Hat Elizabeth ihre Eltern getötet?

Die Haysom-Morde

Condemned Without Cause, is Patricia Borden's account of her twenty-year fight to bring her son Stephen home from a 75-year prison sentence. Stephen May is autistic. As a toddler he was diagnosed with ataxia, a neurological condition that affects his gait and coordination. With no prior criminal record, in 2007 a jury witnessed his disability and called it guilt, convicting him under an Arizona statute that was later ruled unconstitutional. The law has since been thrown out, but Stephen remains behind bars, as Mrs. Borden continues to believe that justice will prevail. Senior U.S. District Judge Frederic Block, who presided over Stephen's federal habeas case, was so moved by the injustice that he dedicated his 2024 book, A Second Chance, to Stephen by name.

The Crime of the Century retold by the Women History Forgot

Story of a Murder

La Morgue: Die vergessenen Toten von Paris und die spektakuläre Geburt der modernen Forensik&nbsp;In 'La Morgue' verbindet die britische Historikerin Dr. Catriona Byers fundierte Wissenschafts- und Kulturgeschichte mit historischem True Crime und zeigt, wie das städtische Leichenschauhaus von Paris zwischen 1804 und 1907 zum Schmelztiegel der modernen Kriminologie, Rechtsmedizin und Stadtgesellschaft wurde. Entlang der akribisch rekonstruierten Lebenswege von zwölf Toten entfaltet das Sachbuch ein Panorama des 19. Jahrhunderts - einer Epoche, in der die französische Metropole zwischen Revolutionen, Seuchen und städtebaulicher Radikalisierung das moderne Leben hervorbrachte.Morbides Theater und die Geburtsstunde des True CrimeÜber ein Jahrhundert lang bildete die Pariser Morgue direkt im Schatten von Notre-Dame einen der meistbesuchten öffentlichen Orte Europas. Bis zu 50.000 Schaulustige drängten sich an Spitzentagen vor den bodentiefen Schaufenstern, hinter denen unbekannte Leichen auf zwölf gekühlten Marmortischen zur Schau gestellt wurden. Was von der Polizeipräfektur ursprünglich zur Identifizierung namenloser Toter eingerichtet worden war, entwickelte sich rasch zu einer weltberühmten Touristenattraktion: Fliegende Händler verkauften vor den Toren Waffeln, Kastanien und Eis, während die Morgue in internationalen Reiseführern als makabres Spektakel gelistet wurde. Gleichzeitig begründeten die detaillierten Zeitungsberichte über zerstückelte Leichen und ungeklärte Mordtaten die moderne Faszination am Grauen und den Siegeszug des True-Crime-Genres.Wissenschaft auf dem Seziertisch: Geburtsort der modernen RechtsmedizinHinter den Schauräumen vollzog sich zeitgleich ein revolutionärer epistemischer Wandel:<ul><li>Pionierfeld der Kriminalistik: Führende Gerichtsmediziner wie Alphonse Devergie und Paul Brouardel sowie Kriminologen wie Alexandre Lacassagne nutzten die Toten für bahnbrechende Autopsie- und Toxikologie-Lehrgänge.</li><li>Systematisierung der Identifikation: Alphonse Bertillon entwickelte an den Toten und Inhaftierten der Morgue das weltweit erste standardisierte System polizeilicher Anthropometrie und Post-mortem-Fotografie (Bertillonage).</li><li>Mikrokosmos der Moderne: Die Toten spiegeln die sozialen Brüche der Ära - von Opfern des rasanten Bahnverkehrs über verzweifelte Suizide im Zuge von Urbanisierung und Verelendung bis hin zu Opfern spektakulärer Gewaltverbrechen.</li><li>Muse der Weltliteratur: Das Institut inspirierte Generationen von Schriftstellern und Dichtern, von Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens und Émile Zola bis hin zu Gottfried Benns expressionistischem Zyklus.</li></ul>&nbsp;3 Gründe, dieses Buch zu lesen<ol><li>Verbindung von Makro- und Mikrogeschichte: Byers erzählt die Modernisierung von Paris nicht aus der Perspektive der Herrschenden, sondern anhand vergessener Einzelschicksale, die auf den Marmortischen der Morgue endeten </li><li>Fundierte forensische Fachhistorie: Anschaulich, archivgestützt und ohne Sensationshascherei wird gezeigt, wie Rechtsmedizin, Kriminalanthropologie und Identifikationstechniken im 19. Jahrhundert entstanden. </li><li>Atmosphärische Erzählkraft: Ein historisches Sachbuch mit dem erzählerischen Sog eines viktorianischen Kriminalromans - ideal für Leser:innen von narrativer Geschichtsschreibung und anspruchsvollem True Crime.</li></ol>&nbsp;Über die AutorinDr. Catriona Byers ist Historikerin und promovierte am renommierten Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine des King's College London. In ihrer Forschung spezialisierte sie sich auf die Geschichte der Leichenhäuser von Paris und New York im Zeitraum von 1864 bis 1914. Sie wurde von der BBC als 'Next Generation Thinker 2024' nominiert und vermittelt medizinhistorische Themen einem breiten Publikum (u. a. via Instagram unter @heymorguegirl). Catriona Byers lebt in Paris.Für Leser:innen von:<ul><li>Andrea Wulf (Fabelhafte Rebellen)</li><li>David Grann ('Der Untergang der Wager')</li><li>Historischen True-Crime- und Wissenschaftssachbüchern</li></ul>&nbsp;Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)Worum geht es in 'La Morgue' von Catriona Byers?Das Buch rekonstruiert die Geschichte des Pariser Leichenschauhauses zwischen seiner Eröffnung 1804 und der Schließung der öffentlichen Zurschaustellung 1907. Entlang von zwölf ausgewählten Todesfällen analysiert Byers die Morgue als Knotenpunkt von öffentlichem Spektakel, städtischem Wandel und der Entstehung von Kriminologie, Forensik und Rechtsmedizin.Warum zählte das Pariser Leichenschauhaus Zehntausende Besucher täglich?Die Pariser Morgue auf der Île de la Cité war frei zugänglich. Hinter großen Glasfenstern wurden unbekannte Wasserleichen und Mordopfer aufgebahrt, damit Angehörige oder Bekannte sie identifizieren konnten. Durch die Berichterstattung der Massenpresse wandelte sich der Ort rasch zu einem urbanen Treffpunkt für Voyeure, Touristen und Literaten.Welche Bedeutung hatte die Morgue für die Entstehung der Kriminalistik?Die Einrichtung diente den führenden Gerichtsmedizinern der Pariser Universität als Forschungs- und Ausbildungsstätte. Hier wurden standardisierte Obduktionsprotokolle entwickelt, Kälteanlagen zur Leichenkonservierung erprobt und Methoden wie die Bertillonage (anthropometrische Erfassung) sowie die forensische Fotografie etabliert.Welche Fälle werden im Buch behandelt?Byers schildert unter anderem den Fall der 'Frau in Stücken' (Jeanne Marie Le Manach), den sensationellen Prozess um die 'Blutige Kiste' (Gouffé, Michel Eyraud und Gabrielle Bompard), postmortale Fotodokumentationen anonymer Tagelöhner sowie die gesellschaftlichen Dimensionen von Suizid und Großstadtelend im 19. Jahrhundert.

The Dog Park Murders

A cozy, seasonal romance-mystery in which a grumpy café owner teams up with a sunshiny pet groomer to solve a murder that's shocked the small town of Labrador Falls. First book in the Dog Park Murders miniseries that's a perfect blend of Only Murders in the Building and The Pumpkin Spice Café. A killer has been unleashed in their small town… Juliette Macintyre has never met a dog she didn’t love. For one thing, dogs don’t judge, unlike the human residents of Labrador Falls. Most locals look at her with suspicion because her father was once a dirty cop, even though Juliette is upbeat, helpful, and the best pet groomer around. She just needs to prove it…starting with new resident Joel Cunningham, an enigma wrapped in a checked shirt and a scowl. Joel runs the Brewed Awakening café, where the coffee is as smooth as Joel is surly. He doesn’t serve pumpkin spice, he doesn’t chitchat, and he claims he doesn’t like dogs. Yet when Juliette stumbles upon a dead body in the dog park, strangled with one of her custom leashes, Joel becomes an unexpected ally. He has no intention of opening up, to either his cute neighbor or the foster pup she foists on him. But he can’t let a biased detective frame Juliette for murder. Whoever killed the widely loathed Maurice Allsop may be desperate enough to strike again. If they can just ignore their chemistry and focus on the clues, Juliette and Joel might be able to solve the case—before somebody else bites the dust… For fans of... <ul> <li>Grumpy/Sunshine Romance</li> <li>Small-Town Cozy Mystery</li> <li>Amateur Sleuths</li> <li>Twisty-Turny Whodunits</li> <li>Pet Sidekicks</li></ul> "With an endearing cast, a charming small town, and two highly likable main leads, THE DOG PARK MURDERS provides a light, cozy mystery that hits all the right notes, especially for dog lovers!"&nbsp; —Fresh Fiction

Scam World

In this hugely original blend of thriller, sci-fi and horror, a trio of Blockbuster employees discover they may be able to change the endings of popular films and, thus, the world around them. The last Blockbuster video store in the United States is hanging on by a thread. And after a crazy night attempting to track down a lost VCR rental to collect the record-setting and internet-famous late fee, three employees, idealistic Eva, cinephile Jerry, and their tyrannical manager Randy, discover that this machine may actually have the power to change the endings of popular films, which, depending on the historical basis of the film, might also be changing the real world around them. Or could this just be an elaborate, increasingly deadly prank? When they begin receiving videotapes and voicemails seemingly depicting their deaths, Eva, Jerry, and Randy scramble to keep the VCR from falling into the wrong hands. And as one action-packed evening begins to seemingly repeat itself (or does it?), scores are settled and unwanted confessions begin to fly, until a Final Girl finally unravels a grand psychological experiment orchestrated at the highest levels of a crumbling social media empire.
