Mental Efficiency and Other Hints to Men and Women by Arnold Bennett audiobook.
Genre: self help
In Mental Efficiency and Other Hints to Men and Women, celebrated novelist and essayist Arnold Bennett turns his sharp, practical eye on the everyday problem of how to think, work, and live with more purpose. Written for ordinary readers facing the pressures of modern life, these brisk essays offer guidance on cultivating mental energy, strengthening attention, and building habits that make productive work possible without turning life into drudgery. Bennett addresses the common obstacles that drain efficiency - fatigue, distraction, vague ambition, and self-deception - and he proposes concrete ways to manage time, conserve nervous force, and approach tasks with calm persistence. Along the way, he challenges the reader to replace grand resolutions with small, repeatable disciplines, and to treat the mind as something that can be trained through practice rather than rescued by inspiration. Witty, candid, and quietly demanding, this book speaks to anyone who wants clearer priorities, steadier motivation, and a more deliberate relationship with work, leisure, and self-improvement.

The Grand Babylon Hotel by Arnold Bennett audiobook.
Genre: thriller
Theodore Racksole, a rich American multi-millionaire, buys the Grand Babylon Hotel, a luxurious hotel in London, as a whim - and then finds out there are strange things going on - a German prince is supposed to arrive but never turns up, someone is found murdered in the hotel, but then the body disappears. With the help of his independent daughter Nella and another German prince, Racksole sets out to solve the mystery.
Bennett wrote this as a 15-part serial, for a lark, in 15 days, and sold it for 100 pounds. It first appeared in The Golden Penny in 1902, which described it as 'the most original, amusing, and thrilling serial written in a decade'

The Old Man in the Corner by Baroness E. Orczy audiobook.
Genre: mystery
In a quiet corner of a London tea shop, a small, dapper stranger sits apart from the crowd, apparently absorbed in a simple ritual: he rolls a bit of string between his fingers, tying and untying little knots as he thinks. To an inquisitive young journalist who shares his table, he is merely 'the old man in the corner' - until he begins to talk. With unnerving calm and razor-sharp logic, he takes headline cases that have baffled police and courts and reconstructs them from scraps of public evidence: a puzzling death at a country house, a disappearance that makes no sense, a verdict that feels too convenient. He never visits a crime scene, never interviews witnesses, and never claims any official authority. Yet each knot he ties seems to pull another hidden thread into view. As the reporter records his startling conclusions, fascination turns to unease: why does this armchair genius care so much, and what is he really proving - about the crimes, about justice, and about the people who are too quick to trust appearances?
