It is not until the strange disappearance of widower George Talboys that her behavior takes an odd turn. George's friend, Robert Audley, Lady Audley's nephew-in-law, is on the case; an upper-class layabout turned detective, he is determined to get to the bottom of things. Mystery, mayhem, madness, and despair: Lady Audley's Secret is the gripping and suspenseful novel that has been branded "the most sensationally successful of all the sensation novels" (John Sutherland) and rivals some of Wilkie Collins' best books, such as The Moonstone and The Woman in White. Robert Louis Stevenson, Charles Dickens, and Henry James all admitted to reading Braddon's work with great enjoyment; Alfred Lord Tennyson professed to have read everything she ever wrote. Kim Hicks gives an absorbing reading, full of charm and insight.

Title: The Spiral Staircase Author: Ethel Lina White Narrator: Kim Hartman Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 04-27-16 Publisher: Spokenworld Audio & Ladbroke Audio Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: Four girls have been murdered. As darkness falls, the young maid Helen Capel feels distinctly uneasy, as though she is being watched, as she walks through the woods alone. News of yet another murder reaches the ears of the inhabitants, but this time close to their isolated family home on the Welsh border. Under the instruction of the Professor Warren, nobody may leave or enter the house that night. Just as the Professor finishes his announcement someone starts to knock loudly at the front door.... But is there really safety in numbers? And what happens when their numbers start to dwindle? Ethel Lina White was born in Abergavenny, Wales, in 1876. She wrote from an early age, progressing from essays and poems, on to short stories, and eventually left her government job in the Ministry of Pensions to pursue a full time career in writing. White became one of the best known crime writers of the 1930s and '40s thanks to a string of successful titles, the most famous of which were Some Must Watch (filmed as The Spiral Staircase) and The Wheel Spins (filmed as The Lady Vanishes, including a 1938 production by Alfred Hitchcock).

Title: The Innocence of Father Brown Author: G. K. Chesteron Narrator: Gordon Griffin Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 04-19-16 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 46 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: First published in 1911, The Innocence of Father Brown contains stories involving one of the greatest characters in the history of detective fiction: Father Brown. He is a Roman Catholic priest who has an uncanny insight into human evil. Rather than the large serial villains in, for example, Sherlock Holmes stories, the mysteries Father Brown solved were more local murders by small-town crooks, narrowing the suspect list down to those in the area of the crime. The cozy mystery style that The Innocence of Father Brown conveys sparked a revolution at the time, bringing it to the forefront of the detective fiction genre.

Title: Treasure Island Author: Robert Louis Stevenson Narrator: Timothy West Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 11-19-15 Publisher: silksoundbooks Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: First conceived during a rainy summer holiday in the Highlands of Scotland in an attempt to amuse his stepson, Treasure Island began with the map. Young Lloyd Osbourne had drawn a crude version of an island, and Stevenson, looking over the boy's shoulder, began to elaborate, christening various curves and smudges the famed names of Skeleton Island and Spyglass Hill and finally adding the three red crosses marking the buried treasure. From this gentlest of beginnings has come one of the fiercest and best-loved novels of piracy and fortune in the history of literature. It is Lloyd's lasting legacy that he insisted there be no girls in the story! It tells the story of Jim Hawkins, who, having acquired a map to the vast treasure of the fabled Captain Flint, sets out with a sponsor, Squire Trelawney, who has been tricked into crewing up his ship with the remaining members of the notorious Flint's band of pirates. Mutiny, maroonings and treasure follow, with the wonderful character of Long John Silver, not only providing a truly sophisticated analysis of the fact that morality is never simple but also forever fixing peg legs and parrots as the only uniform of the true bucaneer. Initially sold to a boys' magazine called Young Folks, Treasure Island began Robert Louis Stevenson's phenomenal success as a novelist. The British Prime Minister W. E. Gladstone was reputed to have read until two in the morning in order to finish it. It has a similar grasp today, and we are firmly convinced that Tim West's Silver will be heard growling and chuckling long into the night.

Title: Envious Casca: Inspector Hemingway Series, Book 2 Author: Georgette Heyer Narrator: Ulli Birvé Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-14 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 280 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: A holiday party takes on a sinister aspect when the colourful assortment of guests discovers there is a killer in their midst. The owner of the substantial estate, that old Scrooge Nathaniel Herriard, is found stabbed in the back. While the delicate matter of inheritance could be the key to this crime, the real conundrum is how any of the suspects could have entered a locked room to commit the foul deed. For Inspector Hemingway of Scotland Yard, the investigation is complicated by the fact that every guest is hiding something, throwing all of their testimonies into question and casting suspicion far and wide. This clever and daring crime will mystify listeners, although the answer is in plain sight the whole time. Critic Reviews: "The wittiest of detective writers."

Title: No Wind of Blame: Inspector Hemingway, Book 1 Author: Georgette Heyer Narrator: Ulli Birvé Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 12-01-14 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 447 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: The superlatively analytical Inspector Hemingway is confronted by a murder that seems impossible no one was near the murder weapon at the time the shot was fired. Everyone on the scene seems to have a motive, not to mention the wherewithal to commit murder, and alibis that simply don't hold up. The inspector is sorely tried by a wide variety of suspects, including the neglected widow, the neighbour who's in love with her, her resentful daughter, and a patently phony Russian prince preying on the widow's emotional vulnerability and social aspirations. And then there's the blackmail plot that may or may not be at the heart of the case.... Critic Reviews: "Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen." (Publishers Weekly) "Pungent dialogue and A1 characterisation." (Time Magazine) "Miss Heyer's characters act and speak with an ease and conviction that is as refreshing as it is rare in the ordinary mystery novel." (The Times Literary Supplement)

In an English country-house murder mystery with a twist, it's the butler who's the victim, every clue complicates the puzzle, and the bumbling police are well-meaning but completely baffled.
