It's snowing hard, making visibility difficult. Wyatt makes the decision to get cabin rooms at a motel before the car runs out of gas.

He has always respected the brilliant surgeon, and has a little crush on him, too. But when Wyatt suggests they get some rooms at a motel straight out of a horror flick, Levi thinks the good doctor is out of his damn mind. With a blizzard on the way closing the roads, they have no choice but to hunker down and share a cabin until the weather clears. Wyatt and Levi harbor crushes on each other, though neither dares hope the other feels the same. Will being forced to share the only bed force them to admit their feelings?Voir livre
A magician-turned-sleuth in pre-war London solves three impossible crimes In 1930s London, celebrity psychiatrist Anselm Rees is discovered dead in his locked study, and there seems to be no way that a killer could have escaped unseen. There are no clues, no witnesses, and no evidence of the murder weapon. Stumped by the confounding scene, the Scotland Yard detective on the case calls on retired stage magician-turned-part-time sleuth Joseph Spector. For who better to make sense of the impossible than one who traffics in illusions? Spector has a knack for explaining the inexplicable, but even he finds that there is more to this mystery than meets the eye. As he and the Inspector interview the colorful cast of suspects among the psychiatrist's patients and household, they uncover no shortage of dark secrets—or motives for murder. When the investigation dovetails into that of an apparently-impossible theft, the detectives consider the possibility that the two transgressions are related. And when a second murder occurs, this time in an impenetrable elevator, they realize that the crime wave will become even more deadly unless they can catch the culprit soon.Voir livre

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES & JOHN WATSON The case of the stolen penny farthing bicycle. This completely new story I have written involves the 10 year old boys who will be the great detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his assistant, when they grow up, this is their formative years where they perfect their skills before adulthood on what my appear to be inconsequential subjects, but the principle remains the same. This is just one of an extensive series I will be publishing as audio books in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first one, and its only 99 pence, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a violin Holme's musical instrument of choice and is energetic and the closing music ends the tale on a more restrained mode and only about 1 minute. The story itself runs to about just over 5 minutes and is of course a short story, it is read in my own voice. The story involves the theft of a penning farthing bicycle owned by the son, Leopold 12 years old of the Duke of Westminster, who live in Grosvenor Square London in the late 1900's. Needless to say Holmes solves the mystery with aplomb and goes onto his next case. The stories are designed to be entertaining to children of approximately the same age around 10 years old due to the characters involved. I do hope you and you children, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come! Christopher Allen - At your serviceVoir livre
