Description
The Mill Mystery is a novel written by Anna Katherine Green, an American author known as the ""Mother of the Detective Novel"". The story revolves around a murder that takes place in a small town in New England. The victim is a wealthy businessman named Mr. Etheridge, who is found dead in the local mill. The main suspect is the mill owner, Mr. Adams, who had a motive to kill Etheridge due to a business dispute.The investigation is led by Detective Gryce, a renowned detective who is famous for his deductive skills. He is assisted by a young woman named Irene, who is the daughter of the local doctor. Irene is intelligent and observant, and she provides valuable insights that help Gryce solve the case.As the investigation progresses, Gryce and Irene uncover a web of secrets and lies that surround the murder. They interview several suspects, including Etheridge's business partners and family members, and they discover that many of them had a motive to kill him. The plot thickens when a mysterious woman appears, claiming to have information about the murder.The Mill Mystery is a classic detective novel that is full of suspense, intrigue, and unexpected twists. It is a well-written and engaging story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.I was not as unsuccessful in this attempt as one might anticipate. The lady of the house was a gossip, and the subject of Mr. Barrows' death was an inexhaustible topic of interest to her. I had but to mention his name, and straightway a tide of words flowed from her lips, which, if mostly words, contained here and there intimations of certain facts which I felt it was well enough for me to know, even if they did not amount to any thing like an explanation of the tragedy. Among these was one which only my fear of showing myself too much interested in her theme prevented me from probing to the bottom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
