The Hemlock Avenue Mystery by Lily A. Long audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In a quiet early-1900s neighborhood, a bitter public feud between two prominent attorneys suddenly turns deadly. After a heated clash in full view of witnesses, Warren Fullerton is found murdered, and suspicion falls fast on his courtroom rival, Arthur Lawrence. Percy Lyon, a young newspaper reporter assigned to cover the case, cannot shake the feeling that the obvious answer is the wrong one. Part admirer, part investigator, Percy begins chasing scraps of testimony, odd timings, and half-hidden connections that the police and the town gossips dismiss. Then he encounters a woman fleeing into the night and realizes the crime may involve more than professional jealousy. As rumors multiply, several women become entangled in the case, each linked to Fullerton and Lawrence in ways that complicate every simple theory. With few clear clues and reputations on the line, Percy must learn where his loyalty ends and the facts begin, pushing past social bias, misdirection, and his own assumptions to find the truth behind Hemlock Avenue's most unsettling secret.

Alice’s Adventures Underground by Lewis Carroll ~ Full Audiobook [fantasy]

Alice’s Adventures Underground by Lewis Carroll audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

This is the handwritten book that Carroll wrote for private use before being urged to develop it later into Alice in Wonderland. It was generously illustrated by Carrol and meant to entertain his family and friends. When a sick child in a hospital enjoyed it so much, the mother wrote him saying it had distracted her for a bit from her pain and led eventually to Carroll expanding the story. The Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed in a boat, on 4 July 1862, up the Isis with the three young daughters of Henry Liddell, (the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Dean of Christ Church) : Lorina Charlotte Liddell (aged 13, born 1849); Alice Pleasance Liddell (aged 10, born 1852); Edith Mary Liddell (aged 8, born 1853). The journey began at Folly Bridge near Oxford and ended five miles away in the village of Godstow. During the trip the Reverend Dodgson told the girls a story that featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure. The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. He began writing the manuscript of the story the next day, although that earliest version no longer exists. The girls and Dodgson took another boat trip a month later when he elaborated the plot to the story of Alice, and in November he began working on the manuscript in earnest. To add the finishing touches he researched natural history for the animals presented in the book, and then had the book examined by other children—particularly the MacDonald children. He added his own illustrations but approached John Tenniel to illustrate the book for publication, telling him that the story had been well liked by children. On 26 November 1864 he gave Alice the handwritten manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground, with illustrations by Dodgson himself, dedicating it as 'A Christmas Gift to a Dear Child in Memory of a Summer's Day'. Some, including Martin Gardner, speculate there was an earlier version that was destroyed later by Dodgson when he printed a more elaborate copy by hand.

War-Lords of the Moon by Linton Davies audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On a routine Earth-Moon run, Flight-Commander Bruce Ross asks his navigator, Harrell Moore, a simple question about their star readings and gets a look of pure horror in return. Something is wrong in the heavens, and the answer points straight to the Moon. Summoned into a secretive lunar underworld of provinces, courts, and armed patrols, Ross finds a society in upheaval: a king dead, factions mobilizing, and whispers of a new war that could spill from the Moon to Earth itself. At the center of the chaos stands Lord Horta, a calculating visionary whose faith in omens masks a ruthless plan, and whose experiments promise weapons no fleet is prepared to face. Caught between rival leaders and uneasy allies, including the enigmatic Princess Illeria and the formidable Queen Boada, Ross must navigate lunar politics as carefully as vacuum and gravity. With rocket ships on alert, ray weapons flaring, and loyalty shifting by the hour, the mission becomes a race to expose a hidden arsenal and stop an interplanetary conflict before it ignites.
