Book excerpt: The Leavenworth Case - Anna Katharine Green - The Leavenworth Case is the first novel of Anna Katharine Green, an American poet and novelist, who was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America, and distinguished herself for writing well plotted, accurate legal thrillers.Green is credited with many firsts. With the character Ebenezer Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police Force, Green developed the series detective. Amelia Butterworth, a nosy society spinster who assists Gryce in three novels, is the prototype for Miss Marple, Miss Silver and other similar mystery solving female characters. And with Violet Strange, a debutante with a secret life as a sleuth, she invented the girl detective.The Leavenworth Case predates the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes by nine years, yet it feels much more modern. Although it bears the romantic sentimentalism of its time, the story possesses a never seen before mastery of detection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horatio Leavenworth, a wealthy and widowed philanthropist, raises his two beautiful orphaned nieces, Mary and Eleanore. One of the cousins, Mary, is his designated heir. When Mr. Leavenworth is murdered in mysterious circumstances, a young lawyer is called upon to support the distraught cousins. At the coroner’s inquest it becomes clear that the perpetrator can only be a member of the household—but no positive evidence is found to incriminate anyone. As the investigating detective digs in, the lawyer, Mr. Raymond, becomes ever more deeply embroiled. The Leavenworth Case is Anna Katharine Green’s first novel, and quickly became a best-seller. Among the very earliest women to write mystery novels, Green’s expert handling of legal details enhanced her reputation and contributed to this novel being widely admired. “Have I read The Leavenworth Case?” Wilkie Collins wrote to Green’s American publisher, “I have read it through at one sitting.” The Leavenworth Case is also notable for having launched the career of the character Ebenezer Gryce, one of the first “series” detectives, years before his more famous English counterpart, Sherlock Holmes. He appears in a dozen of Green’s later whodunits. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
