Anna Katharine Green : The Old Stone House and Other Stories before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Old Stone House and Other Stories:

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. First part great, second part not as goodBy Jennifer BurgisAs another reviewer has stated, The Old Stone House takes up more than half the book while the other stories are quite short. That story rates 5 stars, in my opinion, and the other stories collectively about a 3. They read so quickly, though, both separately and as a whole, that the impression of the book after it's over is largely of that first story. These are not detective stories - their appeal comes from their atmosphere. Not Anna Katharine Green as we generally think of her, but a good read nonetheless. Very much recommended.15 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Classic MysteryBy Kindle CustomerThe first part of the book (over 50%) is a really good classic mystery. I would have given it a five star rating. The last part of the book were very short story mysteries which were more thought-provoking than classic mystery. Overall I enjoyed the book, especially because it was free.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Green is still an incredible AuthorBy Gary S.Popular in a prior century Anna Katharine Green is still one of the best mystery writers out there. She tells a great story, her plots are well thought out, characters well developed, and descriptions put you in the story. This collection of short stories shows off her skill very well. I highly recommend this collection.

About the AuthorAnna Katharine Green (November 11, 1846 ndash; April 11, 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.rdquo; With such memorable detectives as Ebenezer Gryce, New York City police officer and spinster sleuth Amelia Butterworth, Green successfully uses many of the genres' plot devices such as expert witnesses, medical inquiry, dead bodies found in libraries, and ballistics experts to find weapons. Her expert detailing of the logical procedure through discovery of possibilities, deduction, and reasoning won her readership all over North America and Europe. She maintained a correspondence with Ralph Waldo Emerson, admired Eacute;mile Gaboriau, and influenced Agatha Christie. Her first detective novel, the 1878 book lsquo;The Leavenworth Casersquo; is widely regarded as the first American detective novel. A murder mystery which introduced the fictional detective, Ebenezer Gryce, to the literary world, it was the first such novel ever written by a woman, and in the views of some historians, the first bona fide American bestseller. It was so highly regarded for its insight into legal matters that it was used in Yale University law classes as an example of the perils of trusting circumstantial evidence.
