Anna Katharine Green Books

Considered the mother of the detective story, this powerful author was the first in the mystery genre to introduce powerful methods in her books, such as expert testimony and clues and suspects making her books very popular for the mystery reader even today. This book is worthy of display and would make a fine addition to any library. It would also be a fun reader for any mystery fan.

Anna Katharine Green's Mystery Stories Of Violet Strange is an unabridged and highly recommended audiobook mystery anthology following the adventures of New York City debutante Violet Strange and her secret adventures as a professional sleuth for a private detective agency.

This book is sort of like a cross between a Sherlock Holmes mystery and "Wuthering Heights". It is told in a variety of formats (i.e. narrative, letters, diary) by different characters.The plot held my attention; however, I thought the ending was too rushed.
