Green has been called "the mother of the detective novel". She is credited with shaping detective fiction into its classic form, and developing the series detective. As journalist Kathy Hickman writes, Green "stamped the mystery genre with the distinctive features that would influence writers from Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle to contemporary authors of suspenseful "whodunits". In addition to creating elderly spinster and young female sleuths, Green's innovative plot devices included dead bodies in libraries, newspaper clippings as "clews", the coroner's inquest, and expert witnesses.

Autor

Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was one of the earliest American writers to contribute to the genre that came to be known as detective fiction. Often referred to as 'the mother of the detective novel,' Green paved the way for future women writers in the genre while also influencing literary giants such as Arthur Conan Doyle. Her narratives usually featured strong, intricate plotting and a sharp understanding of legal procedures, a testament to her father's influence, a criminal defense attorney. Green's first and most famous novel, 'The Leavenworth Case' (1878), was a tremendous success and made her a well-known figure in the world of mystery writers. Her subsequent works continued to captivate readers with their intellectual puzzles and suspenseful storytelling. A notable character, Violet Strange-a society debutante who conceals her detective work from her social circle-features in 'The Cases of Violet Strange,' a series which showcases Green's talent in combining intrigue with the examination of social norms. As a literary figure, Green's work is characterized by her careful attention to detail and psychological realism, which was innovative for the time and would go on to influence the development of the detective narrative as a genre.
