A Strange Disappearance

Description

Even though detective fiction came a little later in America, compared to Victorian England, Anna Catherine Green, one of its first contributors, managed to write some of the most dramatic and well-written novels associated with the genre at that time. A Strange Disappearance is considered one of Green’s most successful book, and one that has withstood the test of time to remain among the top best received classical crime stories in North America.

If you want some keen insight into the world as it was seen through the eyes of American men and women during the 19th century, reading this story carefully will provide you with precisely what you need. Green’s writing style is quite subtle and informative at the same time, managing to paint an incredibly detailed picture of the social interactions, mannerisms and tendencies of her characters, in line with what you would expect if you actually lived and interacted with them directly.

A Strange Disappearance focuses so intensely on the characters that they will seem to have come alive for much of story, making for an extremely exciting reading experience. Together with the exciting mystery included, as well as the author’s careful approach to introducing the elements and facts of the story as gradually as possible, in order to maintain a high level of suspense, will paint the picture of a tale modern readers might need some more patience for. The wait is more than worthwhile, however, especially since Green sees to it that the thrill of trying to figure out what the real secret is will basically consume you from start to finish!

With a loyal fan base consisting of names such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Mary Roberts Rinehart and Wilkie Collins, the illustrious author of A Strange Disappearance lives on not only through this remarkable book and its story, but also through the inspiration she summoned into the minds and hearts of future detective fiction authors and readers.
