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.

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 Doctor, his Wife, and the Clock by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

When a wealthy New York gentleman is found shot dead in his own home, the crime seems impossible to untangle: the house offers few clear clues, the night was quiet, and suspicion falls in unsettling directions. Called in to restore order is the shrewd, methodical detective Ebenezer Gryce, whose calm persistence has solved society's most delicate scandals before. This time, the trail leads next door to Dr. Zabriskie, a respected physician whose blindness should place him beyond suspicion - and yet whose strange behavior and troubled marriage invite uncomfortable questions. At the doctor's side is his beautiful, anxious wife, caught between loyalty and fear as rumor hardens into accusation. And then there is the clock: a small, ordinary object whose steady ticking becomes a crucial measure of time, truth, and human perception. As Gryce reconstructs the night's movements and tests what witnesses think they heard and saw, private tensions rise to the surface and the boundaries between guilt, grief, and self-deception begin to blur. Anna Katharine Green builds a taut, psychological mystery where every sound matters and every assumption may be fatally wrong.
