The Mystery of the Hasty Arrow by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

It is the noon hour at a museum in New York City. The date: May 23, 1913. The weekday, attendance is light; the attendees are scattered between two floors. Suddenly a cry rings out from the second floor. Scrambling to Section II, the museum director discovers a teenage girl dead with an arrow through her heart. An older woman hovers over her whispering incoherent phrases in the girl's ear and offering incomprehensible answers to the director's questions. She is the only witness to the crime, or accident, as the case may be. How will the feeble, 83 year-old Mr. Gryce unravel this mystery when this witness is apparently insane?

Anna Katharine Green was noted for her scientific approach to the murder mystery. In The Mystery of the Hasty Arrow she breaks more ground with her in-depth study of the psychological interplay between the murderer, the victim and the witnesses. Although more quietly paced, this mystery presents many elements of a current psychological thriller: blind ambition, narcissism, obsession and betrayal. Green adds a peculiar twist with the fact that two heartbroken relatives of the victim sacrifice virtually everything to protect the murderer

The Millionaire Baby by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

When six-year-old Gwendolen Ocumpaugh vanishes from her wealthy family's estate, New York is jolted by a chilling headline and an even more startling offer: a five-thousand-dollar reward for information leading to the child's recovery, alive or dead. The announcement is irresistible to Mr. Trevitt, a private detective whose recent failures have left his reputation frayed and his finances desperate. He knows the Ocumpaugh name, understands how quickly public sympathy can curdle into suspicion, and senses that the case is far more intricate than a simple snatch-and-run. As the search expands from polished drawing rooms to shadowed lanes and riverbanks, every clue seems to point in two directions at once, and every witness carries a private motive. With the police pressing for answers, the press inflaming rumors, and the family's own relationships tightening into knots, Trevitt must separate performance from truth in a world where money buys both silence and deception. Anna Katharine Green blends methodical investigation with social tension, building a suspenseful puzzle about status, secrecy, and the perilous distance between public appearances and private lives.

The Staircase at the Heart’s Delight by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In turn-of-the-century New York, veteran police detective Ebenezer Gryce is unsettled by a pattern of deaths that look like simple accidents: prominent, well-to-do men pulled from the water, drowned under circumstances that never quite add up. With no obvious suspect and only the city's whispers to guide him, Gryce's attention sharpens when a shaken young man arrives with a disturbing story: a crooked pawnbroker who hints, with chilling confidence, that the death of a rich father can be arranged like any other transaction. Following that thread leads Gryce away from respectable parlors and into the riverfront shadows, toward a rough drinking house known as The Heart's Delight, where desperate men gamble, talk too freely, and vanish. To reach the truth, Gryce must risk an undercover role that tests his nerve and his judgment, navigating a web of greed, intimidation, and carefully engineered misdirection. At the center of it all is a notorious staircase and a place built to turn a single misstep into silence, unless Gryce can read the trap before it closes.
