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 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

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.
