A House to Let by Charles Dickens audiobook.

Genre: mystery

A House to Let is a short story originally published in 1858 in the Christmas edition of Dickens' Household Words magazine. Each of the contributors wrote a chapter (stories within a story, or, in the case of Adelaide Anne Procter, poetry) and the story was edited by Dickens, who also wrote the first and last chapters with Wilkie Collins.

The plot concerns an elderly woman, Sophonisba, who notices signs of life in a supposedly empty dilapidated house (the eponymous 'House to Let') opposite her own, and employs the efforts of an elderly admirer, Jabez Jarber, and her servant, Trottle, to discover what is happening within

The Woman in the Alcove by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

At a glittering New York ball, plain, practical Rita Van Arsdale is stunned when Anson Durand, the man she has quietly admired, proposes marriage. Moments later the night turns sinister: the celebrated beauty Mrs. Fairbrother is discovered murdered in a curtained recess known as the alcove, and the spectacular diamond that drew every eye has vanished. Whispers race through the mansion, the guests become suspects, and the police close in - with Anson uncomfortably near the center of suspicion. Refusing to let her future be decided by rumor and circumstantial evidence, Rita begins to watch, listen, and reconstruct the evening's hidden movements for herself. Moving between drawing rooms and back corridors, she confronts coded conversations, social rivalries, and a household full of people with something to conceal, while working alongside official investigators whose methods do not always match her instincts. Anna Katharine Green blends courtroom-sharp logic with high-society tension in a mystery where love complicates testimony, appearances mislead, and one secluded alcove holds the key to a deadly truth.

The Return of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Lord John Clayton, better known as Tarzan of the Apes, has tried to live as an English gentleman, but the call of the jungle refuses to fade. When danger threatens those he loves and old enemies resurface, Tarzan is drawn back toward the wild country that made him. His journey takes him from drawing rooms and city streets to the dense African interior, where rival adventurers, ruthless hunters, and shadowy plots collide over treasure and power. Along the way, Tarzan must navigate shifting alliances among Europeans and Africans alike, confronting brutal greed and the corrosive effects of civilization as surely as the fangs and claws of the wilderness. Tested by captivity, betrayal, and pursuit, he relies on his unmatched strength and instincts, but also on hard-won compassion and honor. As the stakes rise, Tarzan faces the central question that has haunted him since his discovery of his true heritage: where does he truly belong, and what does he owe to the two worlds that claim him?
