The Imperialist by Sara Jeannette Duncan audiobook.
Genre: romance
“The Imperialist,” a novel by Sara Jeannette Duncan, published in 1904, is a portrait of life in small-town Ontario at the beginning of the 20th century.
At that time, English Canada was torn between affectionate loyalty for the “mother country” (Britain), and, on the other side, hard-headed respect for the demands of life in the shadow of the dynamic American economy. (In a by-election, one party pushes for establishing a preferred trading relationship between Canada and Britain: this is the “imperialist” position referred to by the book’s title.)
Main characters find themselves in problematic love stories that unfold against the backdrop of a society that is working out its national identity. These national issues would continue to vex Canada for decades to come. The author is ambivalent about the larger debates, but offers richly specific, subtle, and entertaining observations of manners and morals.
In the decades since publication, “The Imperialist” has been increasingly appreciated as a landmark in Canadian fiction. Critic and scholar Peter Allen has written: “Duncan is an eloquent and important witness to the ambiguity of [Canada’s] developing national identity in the years before World War I.”
NOTE: In this novel, a brief depiction of Native Canadians uses what we today recognize as offensive stereotypes.

The Secret of Lonesome Cove by Samuel Hopkins Adams audiobook.
Genre: mystery
A body is found on the beach not far from a New England town one morning. Curiously, nobody recognizes the dead woman, and nobody in or near the town seems to be a suspect in a possible murder, therefore most of them assume that she simply washed ashore from a passing vessel. Only problem is vessels didn't pass that stretch of the coast because of it's peculiar tides and eddies; hence its name, Lonesome Cove. Following the finding of the body, the officials of the town start acting a bit peculiar towards how to handle the dead body. The sheriff, the attorney in the town, the village gossip, and even the town doctor all seem to want the identification of the body hushed up. And therefore the body is immediately buried, and the officials hope all will be forgotten and done with. Cause of death: drowning. Enter Chester Kent, who isn't convinced in the same way that the townspeople are, and is willing to pull at his ear lobe in an effort to determine the identity of the body, and how it came to it's demise.

Flood Tide by Sara Ware Bassett audiobook.
Genre: romance
On the windswept edge of Cape Cod, the village of Wilton has learned to make room for Willie Spence - a gentle, eccentric old inventor whose cottage has become a maze of strings, wires, and homemade contraptions. Kept (mostly) in order by his long-suffering housekeeper, Celestina, Willie spends his days chasing bright ideas and dreaming that one day his luck will finally turn. When a capable young outsider, Robert Morton, comes into Willie's orbit, the old man's latest project begins to look less like harmless tinkering and more like an opportunity - one that could bring prosperity, or invite trouble. At the same time, Wilton's attention fixes on Delight Hathaway, a young woman of rare spirit and quiet strength whose future is complicated by family pride, small-town expectations, and the sudden interest of people who know how to turn dreams into profit. As friendship deepens into romance and the community's humor and kindness collide with ambition and greed, Willie, Robert, and Delight must decide what is worth protecting when the tide begins to rise.
