Produktbeschreibung
Our country clubhouse, The Whispering Pines, was closed for the year. He considered driving in to put an end to my dissatisfaction in a violent carouse. He suddenly noticed a faint trail of smoke rising from the chimneys he had personally sealed, locked, and barred. After looking into it, he sees his sister's fiancée run out of the building in tears and discovers her dead body upstairs. Fans of traditional detective fiction shouldn't miss "The House of the Whispering Pines," the third novel in Green's Caleb Sweetwater-starring detective series, which is a page-turner loaded with suspense. He did not fear an assault; I was afraid of something else. It was there, in the chamber, which, as he had already mentioned, seemed to be completely vacant. Why remain here like a gaby in the dark when there were still passageways to explore?
Autorenporträt
Anna Katharine Green (1846 - 1935) was an American poet and novelist. She was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America and distinguished herself by writing well plotted, legally accurate stories. Green has been called "the mother of the detective novel". She was born in Brooklyn, New York on November 11, 1846. Green had an early ambition to write romantic verse and she corresponded with Ralph Waldo Emerson. When her poetry failed to gain recognition, she produced her first and best known novel, The Leavenworth Case (1878), praised by Wilkie Collins and the hit of the year. She became a bestselling author, eventually publishing about 40 books.
