Relic - Museum der Angst ist eine Mischung aus Krimi, Science Fiction und Horror, ein Buch, das man nicht lesen sollte, wenn man zu Angst in der Dunkelheit neigt. Mit anderen Worten: Es ist nichts für schwache Nerven. Denn den Autoren ist es gelungen, die drei Genres geschickt miteinander zu einem Mysterythriller zu verknüpfen.

Relic ist der Auftakt zur neuen Mysterythrillerserie. Im Museum of Natural History in New York findet man zwei grausam zugerichtete Leichen.
Da man kurz vor der Eröffnung einer Ausstellung steht, will die Museumsleitung nicht viel Aufhebens um die beiden Toten machen. Doch dann werden weitere verstümmelte Leichen entdeckt, die immer von einem seltsamen Gestank begleitet werden...]]> 17 Douglas Preston Kirinna 5 3.80 1995

Viele glauben, dass die Geister der Toten zurückgekehrt sind, um Rache zu nehmen. Special Agent Pendergast verfolgt eher irdische Spuren: die Gen-Experimente an Mais, mit deren Hilfe die Stadt zu neuer Blüte kommen soll, scheinen außer Kontrolle geraten zu sein. Oder steckt doch noch etwas ganz anderes dahinter?

Mary Lennox, a spoiled, ill-tempered, and unhealthy child, comes to live with her reclusive uncle in Misselthwaite Manor on England’s Yorkshire moors after the death of her parents. There she meets a hearty housekeeper and her spirited brother, a dour gardener, a cheerful robin, and her wilful, hysterical, and sickly cousin, Master Colin, whose wails she hears echoing through the house at night.

With the help of the robin, Mary finds the door to a secret garden, neglected and hidden for years. When she decides to restore the garden in secret, the story becomes a charming journey into the places of the heart, where faith restores health, flowers refresh the spirit, and the magic of the garden, coming to life anew, brings health to Colin and happiness to Mary.]]> 0 Frances Hodgson Burnett 3839846447 Kirinna 5 5.00 1911

]]> 51591586 Suspenseful and richly atmospheric, June Hur's The Forest of Stolen Girls is a haunting historical mystery sure to keep readers guessing until the last page.

1426, Joseon (Korea). Hwani's family has never been the same since she and her younger sister went missing and were later found unconscious in the forest near a gruesome crime scene.

Years later, Detective Min―Hwani's father―learns that thirteen girls have recently disappeared from the same forest that nearly stole his daughters. He travels to their hometown on the island of Jeju to investigate� only to vanish as well.

Determined to find her father and solve the case that tore their family apart, Hwani returns home to pick up the trail. As she digs into the secrets of the small village―and collides with her now estranged sister, Maewol―Hwani comes to realize that the answer could lie within her own buried memories of what happened in the forest all those years ago.]]> 367 June Hur 1250229588 Kirinna 5 3.74 2021

]]> 4543979 Dust and Shadow, Sherlock Holmes hunts down Jack the Ripper with impeccably accurate historical detail, rooting the Whitechapel investigation in the fledgling days of tabloid journalism and clinical psychology. This astonishing debut explores the terrifying prospect of hunting down one of the world's first serial killers without the advantage of modern forensics or profiling.

Sherlock's desire to stop the killer who is terrifying the East End of London is unwavering from the start, and in an effort to do so he hires an "unfortuate" known as Mary Ann Monk, the friend of a fellow streetwalker who was one of the Ripper's earliest victims. However, when Holmes himself is wounded in Whitechapel attempting to catch the villain, and a series of articles in the popular press question his role in the crimes, he must use all his resources in a desperate race to find the man known as "The Knife" before it is too late.

Penned as a pastiche by the loyal and courageous Dr. Watson, Dust and Shadow recalls the ideals evinced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most beloved and world-renowned characters, while testing the limits of their strength in a fight to protect the women of London, Scotland Yard, and the peace of the city itself.]]> 336 Lyndsay Faye 1416583300 Kirinna 5 3.98 2015
