Mary Livres

Regan Reilly and her best friend, Kit, are on vacation in Honolulu, intent on having a Hawaiian adventure. They won't be disappointed!When we last saw L.A.-based private detective Regan Reilly, she'd recently become engaged. On the opening pages of "Burned," Regan gets a call from Kit, urging her to come to Hawaii for one last girls' weekend before she ties the knot. The snowstorm of the century is blanketing the East Coast. Regan can't get to New York to visit her fiance, Jack "no relation" Reilly, and Kit can't get back home to Connecticut. So Regan packs a bag and is on her way. At the Waikiki Waters Playground and Resort, where Kit has been staying, the body of Dorinda Dawes, who wrote the hotel newsletter, washes ashore. Around her neck is an exquisite and historically valuable shell lei that once belonged to a Hawaiian princess, a lei that had been stolen from the Seashell Museum in Honolulu thirty years before. Will Brown, the manager of the resort, doesn't believe that it's an accidental drowning. In the three months Dorinda had worked in Hawaii, she had become a controversial character who had a reputation for pointing out the very worst in people. Will is afraid that she was murdered and that the murderer might still be in their midst, perhaps a guest at the resort. Besides Dorinda's death, strange things have been happening at Waikiki Waters. Luggage has gone missing, food has been tainted, and tubes of suntan lotion are being dropped into the toilets. Could someone be trying to bring down the whole establishment? Lucky for Will, he happens to meet Regan Reilly in the hotel lobby and convinces her to get on the case. Since Kit is infatuated with a new loveinterest -- Steve, a fabulously wealthy thirty-five-year-old retiree living on Oahu who is eager to spend time with her -- Regan is free to take the job. But once she starts digging, she comes across all sorts of suspicious characters. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more danger she's in. Can Regan find out what really happened to Dorinda before it's too late for someone else? Before it's too late for her? Is the culprit someone from the tour group visiting from Hudville, a town where it rains 89 percent of the time? Is it one of the employees at the hotel? Could it be Jazzy, a social climber who has a job house-sitting on the Big Island? Just who had it in for Dorinda? Regan's investigation takes the reader on a fast-paced ride from Waikiki to the Big Island of Hawaii and back again. Carol Higgins Clark's trademark light touch, humor, and quirky characters make "Burned" yet another wonderfully unpredictable mystery, complete with a thoroughly satisfying denouement.

Georg Preuße – er ist für die meisten MARY. Mit ihr feiert er triumphale Erfolge, er lockt mehr Zuschauer in seine Shows als Tina Turner oder Bette Midler. Er perfektioniert die Kunst der Illusion so weit, dass die von ihm geschaffene Traumfrau ihre realen Vorbilder weit in den Schatten stellt. Die schillernde Mondäne verrät nur wenig über den einzigartigen Menschen dahinter: Georg Preuße. Denn Preuße, der die Travestie aus der Schmuddelecke ins Rampenlicht der großen Kabarettbühnen und Theater geholt hat, ist mehr als MARY. In seiner Autobiografie hat der Leser nun die Möglichkeit, neben MARY den Theaterschauspieler und vor allem auch den Menschen Georg Preuße kennen zu lernen. Dadurch, dass er sich selbst kritisch und differenziert betrachtet, hebt sich das Buch von den einseitigen Erfolgsgeschichten anderer Künstler ab. Erst in dieser sehr persönlichen, Brüche nicht aussparenden Darstellung tritt die Größe des Menschen und Künstlers Preuße hervor. In den chronologisch aufeinanderfolgenden Kapiteln sind längere Passagen zu anderen, für Mary wichtigen Themen eingeflochten. Zahlreiche Fotos, viele Liedtexte und ein umfangreiches Werkverzeichnis runden dieses außergewöhnliche Buch ab.
