MYSTERY

“Stuart Woods’ golden hour” by Brett Battles (DB125960)

Narrated by Tony Roberts (7 hours, 53 minutes)

"Teddy Fay is ready to embark on the European press tour of Peter Barrington's latest film Storm's Eye, when he receives an unexpected visit from Lance Cabot, director of the CIA. Several CIA agents have been turning up dead. The commonality? They were all part of a mission Teddy was involved in: Golden Hour. Lance wants Teddy to use his trip as a cover to investigate who is behind these killings. From Venice and Budapest to their last stop at a film festival in Berlin, Teddy must dodge excited fans, enamored women, and a few too many assassins who seem dead set on tracking down Golden Hour agents. And if Teddy doesn't work fast enough, his identity--and life--might just be the next target in the killer's ruthless plot for revenge."-- Amazon.

“Death on Crete” by Carrie Bedford (DB125599)

Narrated by Elizabeth Rose (10 hours, 49 minutes)

"Reluctant psychic Kate Benedict, on a happy jaunt to Crete, has no sooner landed in Heraklion than she's staring at a body. Life's been complicated ever since she woke up one day able to tell if someone's in danger of imminent death. She can often prevent a tragedy if she finds out where the threat is, but that means turning her busy life upside down and becoming a temporary detective. Not to mention the anxiety and fear that comes with racing to beat death. It's a gift and a curse. This time she was too late for the victim, but maybe not for her old friend Chris, whose family she's visiting. Almost as soon as they find the body (Chris's family solicitor), Chris develops a sinister aura, the death signal that only Kate can see. Chris is a close friend, the boyfriend of Kate's best friend Anita, and the son of a man she previously saved. Kate's beside herself. The danger seems to revolve around a mysterious bequest to Chris from his late uncle -- so mysterious, in fact, that no one knows what it is. The letter naming it is missing, along with the solicitor's assistant. And it's soon evident another family member's in danger. But Kate has an ace in the hole -- one purpose of her visit is to meet Chris's grandmother, also a psychic, who's able to make her own contributions to the solution. Carrie Bedford always gives us an evocative, otherworldly experience, and here her extensive knowledge of the Classics sculpts a tale peopled by mythological beings, transforming the island from a sunny, modern-day resort into a Greek drama in search of justice and truth among ancient caves. All served up with copious amounts of English tea and a splash of the paranormal, to the delight of fans of traditional British mysteries from Agatha Christie at her most spinetingling, ancient-curse best to Ann Cleeves and Val Mcdermid. Fans of American paranormal cozy writers like Barbara Michaels and Carolyn Hart's Bailey Ruth series will likewise be enchanted." -- Goodreads.
