    Northanger AbbeyNorthanger Abbey
    by Jane Austen

    Over 400 5-Star Reviews!

    A coming-of-age tale for the young and naĂŻve 17-year-old Catherine Morland, Northanger Abbey takes a decidedly comical look at themes of class, family, love and literature.

    Revelling in the sensationalist – and extremely popular – Gothic fiction of her day, the story follows Catherine out of Bath to the lofty manor of the Tilneys, where her overactive imagination gets to work constructing an absurd and melodramatic explanation for the death of Mrs Tilney, which threatens to jeopardise her newly forged friendships.

    This Audible Originals production of Northanger Abbey stars Emma Thompson (Love Actually), Lily Cole (Snow White and the Huntsman), Douglas Booth (Great Expectations), Jeremy Irvine (Warhorse), Eleanor Tomlinson (Alice in Wonderland) and Ella Purnell (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children), amongst others.

    Shopping for a Billionaire's Honeymoon He is addicted to his phone and his new role as CEO. I’m addicted to getting some on my own honeymoon.

    One of these things is not like the other.

    I am pretty sure a serial killer’s lair is the only place in the world where I could stash my new husband so he can’t manage the acquisition of our new company.

    And that seems a little drastic. But only a little…

    All I want is one week alone with him. Hours in bed, legs tangled together in ecstasy, room service and long walks on the beach in Hawaii. Not vying for his kisses around a Bluetooth microphone. The Borg aren’t sexy in real life. So I’m taking matters into my own hands and hitting "reboot" on our honeymoon.

    We’re going to a place so remote that no one can find us. Not even my mother.

    Fevre Dream Over 250 5-Star Reviews!

    A thrilling reinvention of the vampire novel by the master of modern fantasy, George R. R. Martin

    Abner Marsh, a struggling riverboat captain, suspects that something’s amiss when he is approached by a wealthy aristocrat with a lucrative offer. The hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh’s dilapidated fleet; nor does he care that he won’t earn back his investment in a decade.

    York’s reasons for traversing the powerful Mississippi are to be none of Marsh’s concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious York’s actions may prove. Not until the maiden voyage of Fevre Dream does Marsh realize that he has joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare—and humankind’s most impossible dream.

    Last Man Down NY City Fire Chief Collapse World Trade Center A first responder’s harrowing account of 9/11—the true story of an American hero who gave nearly everything for others during one of New York City’s darkest hours.

    On September 11, 2001, FDNY Battalion Chief Richard “Pitch” Picciotto answered the call heard around the world. In minutes he was at Ground Zero of the worst terrorist attack on American soil, as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center began to burn—and then to buckle.

    A veteran of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, Picciotto was eerily familiar with the inside of the North Tower. And it was there that he concentrated his rescue efforts. It was in its smoky stairwells where he heard and felt the South Tower collapse. Where he made the call for firemen and rescue workers to evacuate, while he stayed behind with a skeleton team of men to help evacuate a group of disabled and infirm civilians. And it was in the rubble of the North Tower where Picciotto found himself buried—for more than four hours after the building’s collapse.

    "C" Is for Corpse: A Kinsey Millhone Mystery Over 250 5-Star Reviews!

    You haven’t read a thriller until you read #1 New York Times bestselling author Sue Grafton’s novels with her unforgettable P.I. Kinsey Millhone


    He was young-maybe twenty or so-and he must once have been a good-looking kid. Kinsey could see that. But now his body was covered in scars, his face half-collapsed. It saddened Kinsey and made her curious. She could see he was in a lot of pain. But for three weeks, as Kinsey’d watched him doggedly working out at the local gym, putting himself through a grueling exercise routine, he never spoke.

    Then one Monday morning when there was no one else in the gym, Bobby Callahan approached her. His story was hard to credit: a murderous assault by a tailgating car on a lonely rural road, a roadside smash into a canyon 400 feet below, his Porsche a bare ruin, his best friend dead. The doctors had managed to put his body back together again-sort of. But they couldn’t restore the huge chunks of memory wiped out by the crash.

    Bobby knew someone had tried to kill him, but he didn’t know why. He wanted to hire Kinsey.

    His case didn’t have a whole lot going for it, but he was hard to resist: young, brave, hurt. She took him on. And three days later, Bobby Callahan was dead.

    Kinsey Millhone never welshed a deal. She’d been hired to stop a killing. Now she’d find the killer.
