Anna Katharine Green : The Mystery of the Hasty Arrow before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Mystery of the Hasty Arrow:
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. "I feared a plot"By PattoPublished in 1917, this mystery puts us in the capable hands of Detective Gryce, now an octogenarian with rheumatic twinges and moods of hating his profession. He sympathizes with anyone who evades him and his questions. He hates hounding people - and even pities the guilty.Nonetheless, the habits of a lifetime keep Gryce relentlessly on the trail.This crime is like nothing in his experience: in a New York museum a beautiful young girl is shot through the heart with an arrow!A highly emotional woman is found with her hand upon the arrow - and becomes incoherent for weeks. A would-be lover had been watching the girl from behind a pedestal, fearing that some plot threatened her. Twenty-two visitors were wandering around the rare coins, ancient bronzes, friezes and bas-reliefs. But nobody saw anything.Gryce's investigation takes him deep into the past lives of reluctant witnesses and unlikely suspects, looking for connections among them. He uncovers both nobility and villainy among his cast of characters.This isn't my favorite Green mystery, but I did enjoy it. Old Gryce is endearing, as is his ugly young assistant Sweetwater. The oddball clues are fun, and the melodramatic plot keeps the reader guessing. I'd recommend The Hasty Arrow to anyone who appreciates vintage mysteries.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A pre Christie mystery that shows why her books were such a success. The style is datedBy kitzOK but really pushing the edge for vintage. Not a fun vintage read, a more DARK read that shows why Agatha Christie was such a delight when she came along with her lighter style. Women faint, and it's expected... that sort of thing.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Murder in the MuseumBy Kindle CustomerThe story about a young girl shot dead by an arrow at a museum. Detective Gryce tries to figure out how the killer got away when the doors to the museum were closed as soon as the girl was killed. Long, complicated story but good.
It is the noon hour at a museum in New York City. The date: May 23, 1913. The weekday, attendance is light; the attendees are scattered between two floors. Suddenly a cry rings out from the second floor. Scrambling to Section II, the museum director discovers a teenage girl dead with an arrow through her heart. An older woman hovers over her whispering incoherent phrases in the girl's ear and offering incomprehensible answers to the director's questions. She is the only witness to the crime, or accident, as the case may be. How will the feeble, 83 year-old Mr. Gryce unravel this mystery when this witness is apparently insane? Anna Katharine Green was noted for her scientific approach to the murder mystery. In The Mystery of the Hasty Arrow she breaks more ground with her in-depth study of the psychological interplay between the murderer, the victim and the witnesses. Although more quietly paced, this mystery presents many elements of a current psychological thriller: blind ambition, narcissism, obsession and betrayal. Green adds a peculiar twist with the fact that two heartbroken relatives of the victim sacrifice virtually everything to protect the murderer.
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.
