    Maeve Conlon's life is coming apart at the seams. Her bakery is barely making ends meet, and one of her daughters spends as much time grounded as the other does studying. Her ex-husband has a new wife, a new baby, and a look of pity for Maeve that's absolutely infuriating. Her father insists he's still independent, but he's slowly and obviously succumbing to Alzheimer's. And now, her cousin Sean Donovan has been found dead, sitting in his car in a public park, shot through the head. There was never much love lost between Maeve and Sean and she's not exactly devastated by his death, but suddenly the police are poking around asking the family questions. It's just one more hassle Maeve doesn't have time for, until she realizes that her father, whose memory and judgment are unreliable at best, is a suspect in the murder. Maeve is determined to clear his name, but is she prepared to cope with the dark memories and long-hidden secrets that doing so might dredge up?

Death in St. Petersburg is a gripping new audiobook that will mesmerize fans of historical fiction and classic mysteries alike. After the final curtain of Swan Lake, an animated crowd exits the Mariinsky theatre brimming with excitement from the night's performance. But outside, the scene is somber. A ballerina's body lies face down in the snow, blood splattered like rose petals over the costume of the Swan Queen. The crowd is silenced by a single cry - "Nemetseva is dead!" Among the theatergoers is Lady Emily, accompanying her dashing husband, Colin, in Russia on assignment from the Crown. But it soon becomes clear that Colin isn't the only one with work to do. When the dead ballerina's aristocratic lover comes begging for justice, Emily must apply her own set of skills to discover the rising star's murderer. Her investigation takes her on a dance across the stage of Tsarist Russia, from the opulence of the Winter Palace to the modest flats of ex-ballerinas and the locked attics of political radicals. A mysterious dancer in white follows closely behind, making waves through St. Petersburg with her surprise performances and trail of red scarves. Is it the sweet Katenka, Nemetseva's childhood friend and favorite rival? The ghost of the murdered étoile herself? Or something even more sinister? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Self-Hypnosis: How to Feel Relaxed, Achieve Your Goals and Stay Motivated , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 45min
    To understand self-hypnosis, you first need to learn about hypnosis. What is hypnosis? Also referred to as hypnotherapy, hypnosis uses intense focus and concentration through guided relaxation methods to reach a "trance" or a heightened state of awareness.A hypnotist uses suggestions to get you into a hypnotic state. Examples of these suggestions include:Relax your entire body from head to toe.Imagine the most peaceful and relaxed place you have ever been to.Imagine hearing your beloved grandmother’s voice.When you focus on any of these or other suggestions given by the hypnotist, then you tend to reach a hypnotic "trance". And if this process is done over a sustained period of time, like say 10-15 minutes, your mind tends to reach deeper levels of consciousness.By the way, hypnosis is not something mysterious and indefinable. If you notice, all the great marketing and PR campaigns or political and religious propaganda are working on the idea of hypnotizing people into believing something. Most of us fall for these concepts, right?Some people use this concept to mislead, delude, and misguide us while some others use it for our good. So, hypnosis works and therefore can be used for your own good through the practice of self-hypnosis. Self-hypnosis is, therefore, using the "power'"of hypnosis on yourself to make positive changes in your life. By using self-hypnosis, you are suggesting certain desirable things for yourself.The original word for hypnosis was mesmerism drawn from the root word "to mesmerize". So, have you found yourself totally mesmerized by the sound and sight of sea waves, a crackling fire, ripples in a pond, or the flame of a candle? This experience is nothing but self-hypnosis. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Warren Keyes. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/158262/bk_acx0_158262_sample.mp3.
