Lady Windermere’s Fan by Oscar Wilde audiobook.

Genre: comedy

In Victorian London, the impeccably proper Lady Windermere is preparing for her coming-of-age birthday ball when a troubling rumor reaches her ears: her husband, Lord Windermere, has been seen paying large sums of money to a mysterious older woman, Mrs. Erlynne. To Lady Windermere, whose pride rests on strict ideals of morality and reputation, the implication feels unmistakable - betrayal. As society buzzes with speculation, Lord Windermere refuses to offer a satisfying explanation, asking only for trust. The request collides with Lady Windermere's fear of scandal and her determination to judge right from wrong with absolute certainty. When Mrs. Erlynne appears at the ball, the evening becomes a high-stakes test of marriage, loyalty, and social survival. Tempted by the attention of the charming Lord Darlington and pushed by the rigid rules of her world, Lady Windermere faces a choice that could shatter her home and her standing forever. With sparkling wit and razor-sharp observation, Oscar Wilde turns drawing-room politeness into a battlefield where secrets, sacrifice, and hypocrisy threaten to overturn every carefully kept appearance.

Midnight by Octavus Roy Cohen audiobook.

Genre: mystery

On a bitter December night, taxi driver Spike Walters is just trying to finish his shift in a city locked in sleet and cold. Then a veiled, well-dressed woman hails his cab at Union Station, gives a quiet address, and rides in silence. Minutes later, at the destination, Spike turns to collect his fare and finds the impossible: his passenger has vanished, a suitcase sits where she had been, and a dead man is slumped in the back seat. The victim, Roland Warren, is no nobody, and the suitcase seems to tie the missing woman to the murder in ways that make no sense at all. With the police closing in and Spike desperate to clear his name, the case lands in the hands of David Carroll, a detective whose patience, empathy, and sharp eye for human motives cut through the city's gossip and high-society veneers. As Carroll follows thin leads across boardinghouses, offices, and drawing rooms, every answer opens a new question, and the truth behind the midnight ride proves far more tangled than a simple robbery gone wrong.
