The Thirteenth - Greatest of Centuries by James Joseph Walsh audiobook.

Genre: history

It cannot but seem a paradox to say that the Thirteenth was the greatest of centuries. To most people the idea will appear at once so preposterous that they may not even care to consider it. A certain number, of course, will have their curiosity piqued by the thought that anyone should evolve so curious a notion. Either of these attitudes of mind will yield at once to a more properly receptive mood if it is recalled that the Thirteenth is the century of the Gothic cathedrals, of the foundation of the university, of the signing of Magna Charta, and of the origin of representative government with something like constitutional guarantees throughout the west of Europe. The cathedrals represent a development in the arts that has probably never been equaled either before or since. The university was a definite creation of these generations that has lived and maintained its usefulness practically in the same form in which it was then cast for the seven centuries ever since. The foundation stones of modern liberties are to be found in the documents which for the first time declared the rights of man during this precious period.

No Clue by James Hay audiobook.

Genre: mystery

“No Clue! A Mystery Story” finds detective Jefferson Hastings at the home of wealthy but eccentric Arthur Sloane one hot summer night, when two other guests at Sloanehurst stumble across the body of young Mildred Brace lying dead on the lawn. Sloane’s daughter Lucille asks Hastings to help solve the crime, but Hastings gets surprisingly little help from anybody he interviews, including Mr. Sloane himself and even the mother of the victim. With few clues to aid him and nobody beyond suspicion, including himself, seemingly rock solid alibis begin to fall apart, expanding the list of potential suspects, and Hastings must rely on subtle expressions and the scant evidence at hand to try to solve the murder.

Flower of the North by James Oliver Curwood audiobook.

Genre: adventure

On a routine business journey up the Churchill River, Philip Whittemore expects the North to feel familiar. Instead, the farther he travels into the raw, river-cut wilderness of northern Canada, the more the land seems to shift under his feet, as if the map in his mind no longer matches what lies ahead. Drawn by rumor and by a nagging sense that something is being kept from him, Philip follows a fragile trail of hints to an isolated outpost known as Fort o' God, a settlement tucked among rock and timber and guarded by silence. There he meets Jeanne D'Arcambal, a woman whose beauty and quiet strength make her seem like the very soul of the country, and Pierre, her fierce protector. As Philip is welcomed into the settlement's daily life, wonder turns to unease: the people are wary, their pasts blurred, and Jeanne herself is surrounded by contradictions. Caught between desire and doubt, Philip becomes determined to uncover what Fort o' God is hiding, even as the North closes in with its own tests of endurance. Flower of the North blends romance, suspense, and wilderness adventure into a story about trust, identity, and the price of knowing the truth.
