That Affair Next Door by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In a quiet New York neighborhood of well-kept brownstones and closely watched manners, a sudden gunshot shatters the calm and a young woman is found dead behind a locked door. With the police baffled by a case that seems to point everywhere and nowhere at once, the investigation turns to the people who knew the household best - the neighbors who heard fragments of voices through walls, noticed who came and went, and carried private grudges behind polite smiles. Enter Amelia Butterworth, an independent, sharp-eyed society woman whose sense of order is matched only by her curiosity. Refusing to be dismissed as an idle onlooker, Amelia begins collecting observations the professionals overlook, comparing alibis, testing assumptions, and pushing past the limits placed on her as a woman of her time. As suspicion spreads along the row and every parlor conversation becomes a clue, Amelia finds herself in a contest of wits with hidden motives, class expectations, and the dangerous consequences of prying into other people's secrets. Part mystery puzzle and part social portrait, the story builds through meticulous detail toward a truth that will not stay safely behind closed doors.

One of My Sons by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

On a raw autumn evening in New York, young lawyer Arthur Outhwaite is stopped in the street by a terrified child who begs him to come at once to her grandfather. Inside the elegant Gillespie house, Arthur arrives just in time to witness a powerful man at the edge of death, and to receive a final, baffling charge: a sealed letter must be delivered to one person, and to that person only - but the dying man cannot name the recipient before the last breath is gone. Almost immediately, the household closes ranks, rumors ignite, and the death of wealthy stockbroker Archibald Gillespie becomes more than a family tragedy. When suspicion falls within the home itself and a father seems to have named his own killer, the case draws in the relentless detective Ebenezer Gryce and his keen associate Caleb Sweetwater. As Arthur tries to untangle his unwanted connection to the affair, the investigation moves from drawing-room silences to hard questions about loyalty, reputation, and what desperate people will do to keep the past buried. In Green's hands, every gesture and scrap of evidence becomes a potential key - or a carefully placed trap.

The Bronze Hand by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In anxious pre-Civil War Baltimore, young Abbott has time on his hands and an obsession he cannot explain: the striking, secretive woman who lodges in the room below his. When a thief snatches a ring from her hand as she closes her shutters, she turns to Abbott instead of the police, insisting the stolen trinket is far more dangerous than it looks. Her name is Miss Calhoun, and she binds him to silence before sending him into a shabby office building to keep watch over a locked box in Dr. Merriam's rooms. Inside lies the novel's unsettling emblem: a bronze hand displayed on a cushion, its fingers meant to bear rings of a peculiar make. If a certain ring is placed on a certain finger, Miss Calhoun fears an irreversible verdict will be set in motion. As Abbott navigates suspicious onlookers, cryptic warnings, and a shadowy network that seems to punish betrayal with death, his gallant impulse hardens into a moral test: how far can he go to help a woman in peril without becoming an instrument of the very evil he is trying to stop? citeturn2view0turn3view1
