"A Strange Disappearance" by Anna Katharine Green is a detective novel that delves into the mysterious vanishing of a young woman named Emily from the household of Mr. Blake, a wealthy and reserved bachelor. The story unfolds as a rising detective, known as Q, is approached by Mrs. Daniels, the housekeeper, who is deeply concerned about Emily's sudden disappearance. Despite the lack of interest from Mr. Blake, who is indifferent to the affairs of his servants, Mrs. Daniels insists on a thorough investigation, convinced that Emily has been abducted. The detective's inquiry reveals a series of puzzling clues, including signs of a struggle in Emily's room and traces of blood leading to a window, suggesting a forced exit.
