Riceyman Steps by Arnold Bennett audiobook.
Genre: drama
In a narrow corner of Clerkenwell, a steep little passage called Riceyman Steps leads to the cramped secondhand bookshop of Henry Earlforward, a man of strict habits and even stricter accounts. Henry lives by ledgers and bargains, measuring every candle stub and crumb of coal, convinced that thrift is the only true virtue in a city that wastes. Yet the world presses in: the everyday bustle of London trade, the small dramas of neighbors and customers, and the lives of the women who keep his shop and his rooms running. When Henry forms an unexpected attachment that promises companionship and comfort, his hard-won routines are tested by desires he does not know how to name and fears he cannot easily master. Around him, quieter figures carry their own longings and compromises, revealing how poverty, pride, and respectability can shape a life as decisively as any grand ambition. Arnold Bennett crafts an intimate portrait of obsession and tenderness, asking what it costs to hoard safety, and what might be lost when a man tries to count his way to happiness.

Doctor Thorne by Anthony Trollope audiobook.
Genre: romance
Doctor Thorne is the third of Trollope's Barsetshire novels, and unlike some of the others, has little to do with the politics and personalities of the Church of England, or politics on the national level (though there is lots of politicking in the mythical county of Barsetshire itself). The plot revolves around the illegitimate Mary Thorne, who has been lovingly raised by her uncle, a country doctor, and who, as she comes of age, finds herself wondering whether she is a lady (in the county sense of the term). Frank Gresham, son of the squire of Greshamsbury, is in love with her (much against the wishes of his noble de Courcy relatives at the Castle), but she dismisses his affection at first as mere puppy love, thereby setting the scene for a series of entanglements, social, romantic, and of course, financial and propertied (never far from the action in Trollope's works). Their resolution, of course, makes up the meat of the novel. One critic has remarked that in Doctor Thorne Trollope succeeds in one of the most difficult tasks an author of fiction can face: how to make genuinely good people genuinely interesting, so that they engage not only the sympathies but also the interest of readers

The Dream Doctor by Arthur B. Reeve audiobook.
Genre: mystery
When the managing editor of the New York Star orders reporter Walter Jameson to spend a month shadowing his friend Professor Craig Kennedy, Jameson thinks he is signing up for a profile. Instead, he is pulled into a relentless chain of cases that show why Kennedy is feared by criminals and admired by police: he investigates with microscopes, chemicals, wires, and a cool logic that treats every clue as a measurable fact. The assignment begins with a baffling death on Broadway. Prominent broker Price Maitland is found conscious yet suddenly paralyzed and speechless, a typewritten farewell note in his pocket and a tiny wound on his hand. As rumors swirl around Maitland's wife, her prophetic nightmares, and a doctor tied to strange new theories of the mind, Kennedy suspects a method of murder so subtle it can slip past ordinary autopsies. From that opening, the month accelerates into a panorama of early twentieth-century New York crime: secret listening devices, eerie curses, vanishing evidence, and schemes that weaponize both technology and psychology. With Jameson racing to record it all, Kennedy must prove that even dreams and human suggestion can be traced back to a real, deliberate hand.
