The Mystery of the Sycamore by Carolyn Wells audiobook.

Genre: mystery

When Curtis Keefe, trusted secretary to former Massachusetts governor Samuel Appleby, accompanies his employer to a tense weekend at Sycamore Ridge, he expects political bargaining, not bloodshed. Appleby has come to the Connecticut estate of Daniel Wheeler, an old rival living under the shadow of a humiliating past and a punishing, conditional pardon that keeps his family balanced on the edge of ruin. Appleby wants Wheeler's public support for Appleby Jr.'s run for governor, and he is willing to trade influence, mercy, or pressure to get it. But the house is already a tinderbox of grievances: a proud host determined to protect his name, a family with everything to lose, and a web of loyalties stretched thin by money, inheritance, and love. Then, amid a sudden commotion and a strange atmosphere of whispered stories and late-night sounds, a gunshot shatters the uneasy peace - and Appleby is found dead in his chair, a bullet through his heart. With motives multiplying and local authorities overwhelmed, master detective Fleming Stone and his quick-witted assistant Fibsy arrive to untangle alibis, decode human nature, and expose the truth hiding in Sycamore Ridge's shadows.

Crime, Its Causes and Remedies by Cesare Lombroso audiobook.

Genre: science

In Crime, Its Causes and Remedies, pioneering Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso lays out a sweeping, controversial attempt to explain why people commit crimes and how societies should respond. Writing at the crossroads of medicine, psychology, and emerging social science, Lombroso examines the criminal not only as a legal subject but as a human being shaped by heredity, environment, education, poverty, addiction, and mental illness. Moving from case studies and observational claims to broader arguments about prisons, punishment, rehabilitation, and prevention, he challenges purely moral or purely legal explanations of wrongdoing and insists on studying crime as a phenomenon with discoverable patterns and practical implications. Along the way, he engages questions that still feel urgent: What role do social conditions play in violence and theft? How should the law treat youth, repeat offenders, and those with psychiatric disorders? And can public policy reduce crime more effectively than harsher penalties? The result is a foundational work of positivist criminology - provocative, historically influential, and essential for listeners interested in the origins of modern debates about justice and reform.

The Adopting of Rosa Marie by Carroll Watson Rankin audiobook.

Genre: family

Back at their beloved, tumble-down Dandelion Cottage in Lakeville, four inseparable friends - practical Jean Mapes, dramatic Marjory Vale, tenderhearted Mabel Bennett, and small but spirited Bettie Tucker - are determined to stretch the last warm days of the season into one more round of make-believe housekeeping. Then Mabel wanders too far from their usual haunts and comes home with an unexpected 'foundling': a quiet, sturdy Indian toddler named Rosa Marie. What begins as a game of playing mother turns into something far more complicated as the girls try to feed her, bathe her, entertain her, and keep her presence hidden from watchful neighbors and parents. Disagreements flare, consciences prick, and the Cottage girls discover that real caretaking does not follow the rules of pretend. When a new girl, Henrietta Slater, arrives with different manners and her own private homesickness, the circle of friendship is tested again - and the question of what Rosa Marie truly needs becomes impossible to ignore. Warm, funny, and clear-eyed about childhood loyalty, the story explores responsibility, belonging, and the big feelings that come with small hands trying to do a grown-up thing.
