Title: The Shards: A novel Author: Bret Easton Ellis Narrator: Bret Easton Ellis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 23 hours 4 minutes Release date: January 17, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.53 of Total 15 Ratings of Narrator: 4.11 of Total 9 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • A novel of sensational literary and psychological suspense from the best-selling author of Less Than Zero and American Psycho that tracks a group of privileged high school friends in a vibrantly fictionalized 1980s Los Angeles as a serial killer strikes across the city “A thrilling page turner from Ellis, who revisits the world that made him a literary star with a stylish scary new story that doesn't disappoint.” –Town & Country Bret Easton Ellis’s masterful new novel is a story about the end of innocence, and the perilous passage from adolescence into adulthood, set in a vibrantly fictionalized Los Angeles in 1981 as a serial killer begins targeting teenagers throughout the city. Seventeen-year-old Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his friends even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle. Bret’s obsession with Mallory is equaled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with the Trawler, a serial killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and his friends, taunting them—and Bret in particular—with grotesque threats and horrific, sharply local acts of violence. The coincidences are uncanny, but they are also filtered through the imagination of a teenager whose gifts for constructing narrative from the filaments of his own life are about to make him one of the most explosive literary sensations of his generation. Can he trust his friends—or his own mind—to make sense of the danger they appear to be in? Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by unhealthy fixations, he spirals into paranoia and isolation as the relationship between the Trawler and Robert Mallory hurtles inexorably toward a collision.  Set against the intensely vivid and nostalgic backdrop of pre-Less Than Zero L.A., The Shards is a mesmerizing fusing of fact and fiction, the real and the imagined, that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric of Bret’s life at seventeen—sex and jealousy, obsession and murderous rage. Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply haunting, and often darkly funny, The Shards is Ellis at his inimitable best.

Но, к несчастью, младшая дочь, пятилетняя Уиллоу, страдает редким генетическим заболеванием, и любое неосторожное движение может привести к перелому. А потому жизнь Шарлотты и Шона О'Киф состоит из бессонных ночей, растущих счетов, унизительной жалости других родителей и навязчивых мыслей о том, что, если… Что, если бы Шарлотта знала о болезни дочери до ее рождения? Что, если бы все было иначе? Что, если бы их любимая Уиллоу никогда не родилась? И насколько ценна каждая человеческая жизнь? И вот в мучительной попытке свести концы с концами, чтобы покрыть расходы на лечение дочери, Шарлотта решается на отчаянный шаг.

Title: [Spanish] - La dama del lago Author: Laura Lippman Narrator: Jane Santos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 52 minutes Release date: January 12, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: La nueva novela de Laura Lippman, una de las autoras más emblemáticas del noir estadounidense. Baltimore, 1966. Maddie, madre y esposa perfecta, decide una noche, de forma impulsiva, plantarlo todo y convertirse en periodista, dispuesta a cumplir sus sueños de juventud. Cuando el cuerpo de una joven aparece en un lago, Maddie ve la ocasión de hacerse un nombre y arrojar luz sobre este crimen, a pesar de la indiferencia general. Lo que no se imagina es la cantidad de problemas que causará al perseguir una historia que nadie quiere que cuente. La dama del lago no es sólo un fascinante relato de una investigación criminalística, sino también la historia de dos mujeres que manifestaron su compromiso por luchar contra el destino que les había tocado en suerte, en la que se entremezclan el racismo, el sexismo y la lucha de clases en la América de los años sesenta. La crítica ha dicho... «La dama del lago atrapa por la fuerza de la narración, pero seduce por la construcción de personajes.» Marta Marne, El Periódico «Cautivadora [...]. Extraordinaria.» Stephen King «La escritora más próxima a Ruth Rendell, pero con destellos de humor. [...] Una novela inquietante, un libro especial, extraordinario, que trasciende las obras de Agatha Christie y Rex Stout, y honra al género negro.» Stephen King «Lippman es una narradora nata, en la cumbre de su talento.» Lee Child «Sencillamente, una de nuestras mejores novelistas, y punto.» The Washington Post «Lippman es un logro literario.» Chicago Sun-Times «Lippman no hace más que mejorar.» Entertainment Weekly «La mujer del lago es dolorosa, considerada y de lectura compulsiva.» Vanity Fair «Inspirada por la muerte sin resolver de Shirley Parker [...], la ambiciosa novela de Lippman entreteje unos veinte puntos de vista en un todo vívido y sin costuras. La novela demuestra que Lippman, que fue reportera del Baltimore Sun, es tanto una periodista habilidosa como una experta novelista.» The Washington Post «Los seguidores de Lippman devorarán esta sofisticada novela negra, que captael espíritu de la época, al tiempo que dibuja un retrato impactante de la ambición femenina sin remordimientos.» Publishers Weekly (crítica destacada) «La historia va más allá que el crimen y el crimen va más allá que su solución, con lo que el talento de Lippman como novelista de misterio no es aquí más que la guinda del pastel. El racismo, el clasismo y el sexismo dehace cincuenta años envueltos en un drama histórico lleno de suspense, estiloso y sexi.» Kirkus Reviews (crítica destacada) «Novela de emancipación que recuerda en algunos aspectos a las obras de Philip Roth (las barreras raciales, el lastre de la cultura judía, la sexualidad que libera). La mujer del lago navega entre las aguas de la novela policíaca, con su hermoso giro final, y las del retrato de una mujer que rehúsa plegarse a las imposiciones sociales, en un Estados Unidos de los años sesenta que no está tan alejado del actual.» L'Express

Title: [Spanish] - Cualquier verano es un final Author: Ray Loriga Narrator: Eugenio Barona Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 58 minutes Release date: January 12, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: RAY LORIGA, GANADOR DEL PREMIO ALFAGUARA, NOVELA LA AMISTAD CUANDO MÁS SE PARECE AL AMOR «Una escritura depurada, de breves párrafos, que no describe, sino que va, silenciosa como los neumáticos de un automóvil sobre una autopista». J. A. Masoliver Ródenas, La Vanguardia «Loriga pertenece a un selecto grupo de escritores que, como Houellebecq y Murakami, están redefiniendo la ficción del siglo XXI». Wayne Burrows, The Big Issue Alguien quiere morir. Ya no es joven, y se pregunta para qué otro día más, por muy privilegiada, divertida y amable que aún sea su vida. Alguien quiere amar. No sabe con certeza si le corresponden, si sus sentimientos serán entendidos, si tiene siquiera derecho a expresarlos. Alguien viaja. Visita ciudades, playas, bares, fiestas exóticas, cabañas al borde del agua donde pasar la noche bebiendo y riendo. Alguien ilustra unos libros preciosos y alguien se ocupa de editarlos. Trabajan sin prisas, con admiración mutua, con cierta sensación decadente de existir en un mundo que desaparece. Alguien ha tenido un grave problema de salud, se levanta despacio, se tienta la ropa y decide aprovechar la segunda oportunidad. Alguien gusta, despierta deseo, está siempre de paso en la vida de los demás, sonríe, paga la cena. Alguien es el mejor amigo y la persona favorita de otro. Alguien quiere morir. Ray Loriga narra los abismos de estos personajes, y compone una sinfonía sobre la amistad, el amor y el final de la juventud. Una novela en la que se habla de la muerte brindando por la vida. Una novela sobre el verano que aún queda por disfrutar antes de que llegue el invierno. «Un libro incontestable, lleno de cicatrices y sin una sola costura visible. [...] [Loriga] atraviesa, una vez más, su propia línea de sombra». Karina Sainz Borgo, ABC «Loriga envuelve esta trama en la belleza lírica evocadora que siempre gasta». María Paredes, The Objective «Inteligente e ingeniosa, reflexiva y honda a su pesar, nos atrapa». Juan Marqués, La Lectura (El Mundo) «Una novela de una melancólica calidez, como de la última copa de vino en el patio, en la última noche de agosto, frente a la playa, con las maletas a medio hacer desparramadas por la casa alquilada». Marta Medina, El Confidencial «Loriga narra [...] casi el deseo de canibalización del otro». Gonzalo Núñez, El Debate «Loriga siempre al borde del abismo. Por el riesgo que asume en su escritura, pero también por unos personajes que a menudo se mueven en el límite. [...] Cualquier verano es un final tiene la forma de una frontera». Jaime Cedillo, El Cultural «Ray trae en la postura esa pose que algunos pueden correr el riesgo de confundir con el fatalismo y que en realidad solo es serenidad. [...] Una obra con el temple que le ha dejado el tiempo en la muñeca y el intelecto». Javier Ors, Zenda «Mira como miraba a su lector desde la portada de Héroes pero este Bob Dylan madrileño [...] canta menos rock y más blues, parece menos rebotado y más desarmado y ha sustituido la camiseta que dejaba al aire todos sus tatuajes por un elegante jersey de cuello vuelto». Marta de la Calzada, Telva «Me gusta la facilidad aparente de la prosa de Ray Loriga, su levedad es un iceberg que esconde su masa bajo las aguas». Ricardo Lladosa, Zenda «La literatura de Ray Loriga, alejada de toda banalidad, se parece un poco al cine de John Ford: economía narrativa, poesía y sensibilidad». Enrique Bueres, Revista GQ

Title: You Will Never Be Found: A Novel Series: #2 of The High Coast Series Author: Tove Alsterdal Narrator: Hillary Huber Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 55 minutes Release date: January 10, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: Detective Eira Sjodin, introduced in the electrifying Swedish crime thriller We Know You Remember, races to solve a disappearance that hits chillingly close to home in the second book in the High Coast series, hailed by People as “Nordic noir at its best.” In the small mining town of Malmberget, north of the Arctic Circle, residents and their houses are being relocated. As the mine that built the town slowly swallows it street by street, building by building, the memories of the community have collapsed into the huge pit they call “the hole.” Only a few stubborn souls cling to their homes, refusing to leave. When two workers making their final preparations hear a sound coming from a basement, they break a cellar window and find a terrified man curled up in a corner. In Ådalen, 700 kilometers away, police officer Eira Sjödin is investigating the disappearance of a man reported missing by his ex-wife. Eira and her colleagues search his apartment, contact his friends and relatives, and query local hospitals, but the man has vanished without a trace. Eira knows the pain of loss—she mourns for her mother, whose mind has been stolen by dementia. To escape her loneliness and her memories, Eira loses herself in a casual affair. But she’s wholly unprepared when her feelings deepen for GG, who is twenty years her senior–and her boss. When the diligent GG doesn’t show up for work two days in a row, Eira and her colleagues quickly realize that something is wrong—their boss has gone missing. In the dramatic second installment of the High Coast Series, Eira Sjödin finds herself at the mercy of an elusive perpetrator—and of a love she can no longer deny.

Title: Mount Misery: A Novel Author: Samuel Shem Narrator: Sean Runnette Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 28 minutes Release date: January 10, 2023 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: From the Laws of Mount Misery: There are no laws in psychiatry. Now, from the author of the riotous, moving, bestselling classic, The House of God, comes a lacerating and brilliant novel of doctors and patients in a psychiatric hospital. Mount Misery is a prestigious facility set in the rolling green hills of New England, its country club atmosphere maintained by generous corporate contributions. Dr. Roy Basch (hero of The House of God) is lucky enough to train there *only to discover doctors caught up in the circus of competing psychiatric theories, and patients who are often there for one main reason: they've got good insurance. From the Laws of Mount Misery: Your colleagues will hurt you more than your patients. On rounds at Mount Misery, it's not always easy for Basch to tell the patients from the doctors: Errol Cabot, the drug cowboy whose practice provides him with guinea pigs for his imaginative prescription cocktails . . . Blair Heiler, the world expert on borderlines (a diagnosis that applies to just about everybody) . . . A. K. Lowell, née Aliyah K. Lowenschteiner, whose Freudian analytic technique is so razor sharp it prohibits her from actually speaking to patients . . . And Schlomo Dove, the loony, outlandish shrink accused of having sex with a beautiful, well-to-do female patient. From the Laws of Mount Misery: Psychiatrists specialize in their defects. For Basch the practice of psychiatry soon becomes a nightmare in which psychiatrists compete with one another to find the best ways to reduce human beings to blubbering drug-addled pods, or incite them to an extreme where excessive rage is the only rational response, or tie them up in Freudian knots. And all the while, the doctors seem less interested in their patients' mental health than in a host of other things *managed care insurance money, drug company research grants and kickbacks, and their own professional advancement. From the Laws of Mount Misery: In psychiatry, first comes treatment, then comes diagnosis. What The House of God did for doctoring the body, Mount Misery does for doctoring the mind. A practicing psychiatrist, Samuel Shem brings vivid authenticity and extraordinary storytelling gifts to this long-awaited sequel, to create a novel that is laugh-out-loud hilarious, terrifying, and provocative. Filled with biting irony and a wonderful sense of the absurd, Mount Misery tells you everything you'll never learn in therapy. And it's a hell of a lot funnier.

Title: Liar, Dreamer, Thief Author: Maria Dong Narrator: Hannah Choi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 17 minutes Release date: January 10, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Psychological Publisher's Summary: A young woman’s carefully constructed fantasy world implodes in this brilliantly conceived novel that blurs distinctions between right and wrong, comedy and tragedy, imagination and reality: "Surreal . . . leaves you with the creeping certainty that there is a different world lurking just under the surface of our own, filled with technicolor lies and terrible truths" (Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling and Hugo‑award winning author). Katrina Kim may be broke, the black sheep of her family, and slightly unhinged, but she isn’t a stalker. Her obsession with her co-worker, Kurt, is just one of many coping mechanisms—like her constant shape and number rituals, or the way scenes from her favorite children’s book bleed into her vision whenever she feels anxious or stressed. But when Katrina finds a cryptic message from Kurt that implies he’s aware of her surveillance, her tenuous hold on a normal life crumbles. Driven by compulsion, she enacts the most powerful ritual she has to reclaim control—a midnight visit to the Cayatoga Bridge—and arrives just in time to witness Kurt’s suicide. Before he jumps, he slams her with a devastating accusation: his death is all her fault. Horrified, Katrina combs through the clues she’s collected about Kurt over the last three years, but each revelation uncovers a menacing truth: for every moment she was watching him, he was watching her. And the past she thought she’d left behind? It’s been following her more closely than she ever could have imagined. A gripping page-turner, as well as a sensitive exploration of mental health, Liar, Dreamer, Thief is an intimate portrayal of life in all its complexities—and the dangers inherent in unveiling people’s most closely guarded secrets.
