Behind a Mask, or a Woman's Power by Louisa May Alcott audiobook.
Genre: mystery
In a respectable English country house, the well-to-do Coventry family believes they have hired a quiet, capable governess to guide their youngest daughter. But Jean Muir arrives with more than lesson plans. Plainly dressed and seemingly modest, she quickly learns the household's habits and weak points, studying the rhythms of drawing rooms, garden walks, and late-night conversations with a keen eye for opportunity. As the proud matriarch and her strong-willed adult children size her up, Jean begins to reshape how each of them sees her - and how they see one another. A stray remark becomes leverage, a look becomes a promise, and a reputation becomes a tool. When private writings and hidden encounters hint at a carefully maintained secret life, the Coventrys realize that their new governess may be the most dangerous person under their roof. Behind a Mask, or a Woman's Power is a fast, sly tale of performance and deception, where love and ambition collide and a woman with few conventional choices tests how far intelligence, charm, and sheer will can bend a rigid society.

The Story of a Candy Rabbit by Laura Lee Hope audiobook.
Genre: fantasy
In The Story of a Candy Rabbit, Laura Lee Hope spins a sweet, make-believe adventure that begins after closing time in a toy store, when the Candy Rabbit discovers he can sit up, look around, and talk with the other wonders on the Easter novelty counter. Surrounded by glittering eggs with tiny window scenes, a clockwork Fuzzy Bunny, and a friendly Chocolate Rabbit, the Candy Rabbit feels as if he has stepped into Fairyland, even though morning customers will soon return and everything must look ordinary again. When a shopper chooses him as a special Easter gift for a little girl named Madeline, the Candy Rabbit sets off on a new life beyond the store, full of excitement and uncertainty. Being made of candy and sugar is not as safe as it sounds, and he must face accidents, separations, and animal mischief that threaten his chance to stay loved and protected. Through each small escapade, he learns what courage looks like for someone so fragile, and why friendship, hope, and a warm home matter most.

Pauline's Passion and Punishment by Louisa May Alcott audiobook.
Genre: drama
Before she wrote Little Women and Little Men, Louisa, writing under the pseudonym A.M. Barnard, had this `blood and thunder' thriller (as she called them) published in 1863 by a weekly pulp magazine. This was during the period when Louisa worked a nurse during the American Civil war. The rigid and unfair roles of men and women of this period, their expectations and desires, plays a large in this story of betrayed love, anger, petulance, and ultimately, vengeance. The story is well written and plotted of course, being an Alcott story, so listeners can expect to enjoy a captivating and satisfying story read to them by one of the best and most highly polished readers around
