The House in the Mist

Meer over het boek

Anna Katharine Green was a pioneering figure in American detective fiction, known for her well-structured and legally sound narratives, influenced by her background as the daughter of a lawyer. Initially aspiring to be a poet, she shifted to novel writing after her poetry went unrecognized, achieving fame with her novel The Leavenworth Case. Despite her success in a male-dominated genre, she held traditional views, opposing women's suffrage and differing from many of her feminist peers, reflecting the complexities of her progressive yet conservative stance.
