The Amethyst Cross by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

On a soft May afternoon by the Thames, Lesbia Hale and George Walker dream aloud of a life they are not yet allowed to live. Their engagement, tender and hard-won, is threatened by Lesbia's formidable father, Walter Hale, who refuses to sanction the match and seems consumed by a strange fixation on an heirloom Lesbia has inherited from her late mother: a costly amethyst cross. When violence shatters the lovers' quiet plans and the cross vanishes under baffling circumstances, suspicion spreads through the household and beyond, touching servants, acquaintances, and those with hidden ties to the Hales. As Lesbia guards secrets she believes will protect her future, George is pulled into a web of clues that points to greed, old grudges, and carefully staged deception. Moving from riverside calm to shadowed streets and tense drawing rooms, Fergus Hume blends romance with classic Edwardian intrigue, building a puzzle in which every gesture may be a misdirection and the truth behind a single piece of jewelry could cost more than anyone expects.

Ada Merton by Francis J. Finn audiobook.

Genre: religion

In Ada Merton, Francis J. Finn, S.J. tells a compact, emotionally charged tale of a comfortable couple whose lives have drifted far from the faith they once knew. The Mertons are respected and self-sufficient, but religion has become a polite afterthought - until their home is shaken by the sudden loss of their only child, Ada. In the quiet aftermath of grief, ordinary routines turn hollow, old certainties crumble, and questions they have long avoided press in with new urgency: What does suffering mean? What, if anything, can outlast death? And where can hope be found when consolation feels impossible?Set against the rhythms of late 19th-century American Catholic life, the story follows the parents as friends, neighbors, and clergy offer help that is not merely sentimental, but demanding - calling for humility, honesty, and a willingness to begin again. Finn writes with pastoral insight, tracing how sorrow can either harden the heart or open it, and how a child's memory can become a summons to reconciliation. Ada Merton is a moving meditation on loss, spiritual awakening, and the hard, grace-filled work of returning home.

Billy Whiskers, the Autobiography of a Goat by Frances Trego Montgomery audiobook.

Genre: family

Told with mischievous charm in the voice of its unlikely hero, Billy Whiskers, the Autobiography of a Goat follows a bold young goat whose curiosity is always one nibble away from trouble. When Billy is separated from the comfortable rhythms of farm life, he finds himself plunged into a wider world of wagons and roads, strange barns and backyards, and humans who are by turns helpful, baffled, or downright determined to keep a certain goat out of mischief. Along the way, Billy crosses paths with a lively cast of animals - from barnyard rivals to unexpected companions - and learns that cleverness and nerve can get you far, but so can kindness and a bit of humility. As Billy searches for safety and a place to belong, each narrow escape and comic mishap becomes a lesson in resilience, trust, and the messy business of growing up. Frances Trego Montgomery delivers a classic animal adventure packed with humor, heart, and the spirited perspective of a narrator who is never afraid to tell you exactly what he thinks - especially when snacks are involved.
