Wie fühlt es sich eigentlich an, alt zu sein? Mechthild Grossmann ist 79 und genießt es. In diesem Buch erzählt sie von den großen und kleinen Momenten des Altwerdens. Von den wundervollen Freiheiten genauso wie von dem Phänomen, dass Bekannte plötzlich nur noch über ihre Krankheiten reden wollen – und nicht mehr über gute Bücher oder Filme. Sie erklärt, was gegen das blöde Bauchgefühl an Sonntagabenden hilft, was sie nach dem Tod eines Freundes tröstet, wie das mit dem Sex und der Liebe ist und wie sehr sie es genießt, plötzlich in aller Ruhe im Bett frühstücken und einen Nachmittag in Jogginghose bleiben zu können. Humorvoll und warmherzig schildert sie, warum das Alter einem nicht Angst machen muss – sondern genau genommen die beste Zeit des Lebens ist.

New York Times" bestselling author Tess Gerritsen's relentless, inventive novels take readers on pulse-racing thrill rides that are as satisfying as they are heart-stopping. Now, in this edge-of-your-seat suspense novel, a mysteriously isolated town stands abandoned as a silent watcher waits. In Wyoming for a medical conference, Boston medical examiner Maura Isles joins a group of friends on a spur-of-the-moment ski trip. But when their SUV stalls on a snow-choked mountain road, they're stranded with no help in sight. As night falls, the group seeks refuge from the blizzard in the remote village of Kingdom Come, where twelve eerily identical houses stand dark and abandoned. Something terrible has happened in Kingdom Come: Meals sit untouched on tables, cars are still parked in garages. The town's previous residents seem to have vanished into thin air, but footprints in the snow betray the presence of someone who still lurks in the cold darkness--someone who is watching Maura and her friends. Days later, Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli receives the grim news that Maura's charred body has been found in a mountain ravine. Shocked and grieving, Jane is determined to learn what happened to her friend. The investigation plunges Jane into the twisted history of Kingdom Come, where a gruesome discovery lies buried beneath the snow. As horrifying revelations come to light, Jane closes in on an enemy both powerful and merciless--and the chilling truth about Maura's fate. "Published in the UK as THE KILLING PLACE.
