The Amethyst Box by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

On the evening before his wedding, well-to-do collector Sinclair shows off a strange and beautiful curiosity: an amethyst box concealing a minute vial of deadly poison. When the box vanishes soon after, the celebration curdles into panic. Sinclair turns to his closest friend and best man, Worthington, with a fear he can barely speak aloud: only two people had the chance to take it - Sinclair's bride-to-be, Gilbertine, or her cousin Dorothy, the very woman Worthington quietly loves. If the poison remains in the wrong hands, a life could be ended with a single drop; if Sinclair voices his suspicions, he risks ruining reputations and detonating a scandal on the threshold of marriage. Together the two men begin a tense, clandestine search through drawing rooms, corridors, and carefully guarded secrets, weighing every gesture and every half-heard remark for meaning. As the hours count down and trust frays, Green builds a classic mystery of motive and misdirection, where devotion, jealousy, and honor collide under the bright surface of society's rules.

The Chief Legatee by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

On the very day of her brilliant New York wedding, Georgian Hazen begins to act like a woman under sentence. Within hours of registering at a hotel with her new husband, Roger J. Ransom, the bride vanishes, leaving behind only bewildering clues and a reputation that society is eager to shred. Roger follows the trail to the rain-soaked countryside of Georgian's childhood, where her fierce, half-wild sister Anitra still haunts every memory - and where the roar of a nearby waterfall seems to call the desperate toward darkness. As a quiet investigation hardens into a race against scandal and time, lawyer Harper and a seasoned detective are drawn into a puzzle of locked doors, mistaken identities, and a past Georgian tried to bury. Then comes the shock that turns grief into suspicion: Georgian's will names an unknown man, Josiah Auchincloss, as chief legatee to the greater part of her fortune, while those closest to her are left with questions instead of comfort. In Anna Katharine Green's hands, love, money, and family secrets collide, and every new fact threatens to overturn what Roger believes he knows about the woman he married.

The Circular Study by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In this well-plotted, character-driven mystery, Detective Gryce receives a cryptic message calling him to the scene of a “strange” crime. He soon finds that the adjective is correct, for in a quiet brownstone house in a respectable New York City neighborhood, he finds the body of a man brutally stabbed to death, yet lovingly laid out on the floor of his study. The only apparent witnesses are a deaf and dumb butler driven mad by the event, and a caged bird that sings out a vital but puzzling clue. Before he solves the crime, with the help of the redoubtable Miss Amelia Butterworth, Gryce must uncover a motive that spans generations and the passions that have kept it alive. Anna Katharine Green was a pioneering writer of detective fiction in the United States. Her first such novel, The Leavenworth Case, was published in 1878. She is credited with changing the genre by making her stories legally accurate. She invented the 'girl detective.' But her works remained popular because of their lively, twisting plots and the strong characters she developed.
