Gargoyles by Ben Hecht audiobook.

Genre: drama

The author, Ben Hecht, was a prolific writer as well as a renowned screenwriter, producer, and director of films. His screenwriting skills include some of the most popular films of Hollywood's golden era, including 'Gone With the Wind', 'Wuthering Heights', 'Spellbound', and 'Scarface', to name but a few.

Hecht had already established himself as a novelist and an author of short stories when 'Gargoyles' was published. 'Gargoyles' delves deep into the psyches of individuals and of their relationships within social classes, revealing both the darker sides and the sentimental sides. Sometimes the characteristics, values and ethics of his characters are altered over time, as they (sometimes unwittingly) look within themselves and acknowledge what they valued most, how their egos affect their decisions and ethics, yet not always understanding the reasons those values are so crucial to them. What we learn is the results of these changes, as we center on the lives of George Basine, his friends, and his family, and most importantly, the masks that each wore.

Officer 666 by Barton Wood Currie ~ Full Audiobook [comedy]

Officer 666 by Barton Wood Currie audiobook.

Genre: comedy

In this brisk early-1900s farce by Barton Wood Currie (with Augustin McHugh), New York society becomes a stage for the boldest kind of amateur heroics. Travers Gladwin, restless heir to a fortune and tired of being treated like a decorative idler, discovers that a celebrated art burglar has set his sights on the Gladwin home and its prized paintings. Instead of quietly alerting the authorities, Travers grabs a borrowed police uniform and decides to meet the criminal on his own terms - as the mysterious Officer 666. The plan might have worked, too, if the thief had not arrived with a scheme of his own: impersonating Travers Gladwin himself. Soon the mansion is crowded with mismatched identities, suspicious servants, genuine detectives, and social guests who have no idea whether they are flirting with a millionaire, a crook, or a cop. At the center of the chaos is Helen Burton, whose quick intelligence and steady nerve make her far more than a bystander as the night spirals into a high-society cat-and-mouse game. Packed with witty dialogue, romantic sparks, and escalating misunderstandings, Officer 666 turns a simple burglary into a runaway comedy of manners and masks.

The Heath Hover Mystery by Bertram Mitford audiobook.

Genre: mystery

A stranger appears in the middle of the night at Heath Hover while John Seward Mervyn is tending the modest location in a wooded area near a pond. Legends abound regarding Heath Hover; legends such as one's inability to spend a full night at the Heath on certain nights of the year, and that the place was quite simply.... haunted. These were legends which Mervyn has set out to disprove. He would, however, soon find that these were but a few of the mysteries surrounding this peculiar locale. And what was beyond that cellar door that appeared to open by itself at the right (wrong) times? A trip to the other side of the world might just hold the answers to the Heath Hover mystery.
