Deep Lake Mystery by Carolyn Wells audiobook. Genre: mysteryImagine, if you will, a murder committed in a sealed room. A room which has been sealed from the inside, that is, with no possible means of exit, excepting a dangerous plunge through a window into a deep, foreboding lake with swirling eddies and rocks abound.

And a nail. Oh, and one more item to add to the curious array of arranged paraphernalia - a watch in a water pitcher by the bedside. Now place yourself in a position to solve the mystery behind this obvious murder of a wealthy man who was liked by everyone, and had no known enemies.Carolyn Wells was a well known author of children's stories, until she began reading mystery stories written by Anna Katherine Green, and from then on she devoted her writings to puzzling mysteries in a similar vein.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:27:24) Chapter 02(00:56:22) Chapter 03(01:25:39) Chapter 04(01:54:11) Chapter 05(02:22:35) Chapter 06(02:51:28) Chapter 07(03:19:35) Chapter 08(03:47:56) Chapter 09(04:15:52) Chapter 10(04:44:31) Chapter 11(05:13:04) Chapter 12(05:42:21) Chapter 13(06:11:22) Chapter 14(06:39:27) Chapter 15(07:05:39) Chapter 16(07:33:48) Chapter 17(08:02:59) Chapter 18 Learn more about your ad choices.

Cosmic Castaway by Carl Richard Jacobi audiobook. Genre: scifiEarth has less than a year before the Sirians tighten their grip and turn humanity into a conquered vassal. Mason Standish, an Earth defense engineer with the knowledge to stop the invasion, should be leading the fight - but instead he wakes amid the wreckage of a Sirian prison ship, the lone survivor, stranded on an unknown world far off the Sirius-Earth route. The planet can be breathed, but it is anything but safe: migrating beasts, predatory flyers, and brutal seasons make survival a daily calculation. With scavenged weapons, battered equipment, and the remnants of atomic motors, Standish turns castaway desperation into a plan - rebuild, launch, and find a way to bring the war back to the enemy. When he discovers another survivor, Ga-Marr of Lyra, the struggle becomes larger than one man or one world. Together they face the constant pressure of pursuit, the limits of improvised engineering, and the gamble of trusting an alien ally, all while time runs out for Earth. Cosmic Castaway is classic pulp science fiction: fast, vivid, and driven by ingenuity, endurance, and rebellion against an empire of stars.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:33:01) Chapter 02(01:15:38) Chapter 03 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Jewel of Seven Stars by Bram Stoker audiobook. Genre: horrorIn The Jewel of Seven Stars, Bram Stoker turns from the vampire-haunted nights of Transylvania to the dust and incense of Egyptology, where the past refuses to stay buried. Malcolm Ross, a young Englishman drawn into an unusual household, finds himself at the center of a tense and glittering mystery when the celebrated archaeologist Abel Trelawny is discovered grievously injured beside an ancient, newly acquired mummy. As Ross and Trelawny's determined daughter, Margaret, sift through cryptic documents, strange relics, and unsettling coincidences, they uncover a carefully pieced-together theory about an Egyptian queen whose power may have reached beyond death itself. The closer they come to understanding the meaning of a legendary jewel and the purpose of a secret, midnight experiment, the more their rational explanations crumble under the weight of eerie signs, unexplained influences, and a growing sense that something is watching from the shadows. Blending Victorian scientific ambition with occult dread, Stoker crafts a tale of obsession, forbidden knowledge, and the perilous boundary between discovery and sacrilege.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:27:51) Chapter 02(00:53:22) Chapter 03(01:24:05) Chapter 04(01:55:04) Chapter 05(02:29:33) Chapter 06(03:04:07) Chapter 07(03:35:31) Chapter 08(04:03:11) Chapter 09(04:35:13) Chapter 10(05:12:14) Chapter 11(05:43:09) Chapter 12(06:12:11) Chapter 13(06:46:43) Chapter 14(07:21:34) Chapter 15(07:52:59) Chapter 16(08:28:03) Chapter 17(09:03:17) Chapter 18(09:32:42) Chapter 19 Learn more about your ad choices.
