Description

The story of The Forsaken Inn written by the one of the most popular authors of detective stories, Anna Katharine Green, is based on a diary of Mrs. Truax, the owner of an inn.

The Forsaken Inn is narrated as such where a newlywed couple stays for a night at an inn and both leaves in the morning but many years have passed, and the corpse of the young bride is found in a hidden room of an inn. Though several people saw the newlyweds leave the inn together. Good thing there were leads and evidence like letters and narrations of some friends of the newlyweds. Can this murder case be easily resolved because of such? Will those suffice?

Anna Katharine Green was an American poet and writer. She was among the first authors of fiction books of investigation in the United States and her writings are concise and specifically legal. She was described to be “the mother of the detective novel”.

Green was born in Brooklyn, New York. She fell in love into writing when she was still young, she wrote romantic poetry, and she coincided with Ralph Waldo Emerson. Her poetry was not recognized at first, so she wrote her first and famous book, The Leavenworth Case, which gained acknowledgment from Wilkie Collins, and it was the bestselling book of the year 1878. She was ultimately regarded as an author and she wrote and published almost 40 novels.

Anna Katharine Green and Charles Rohlfs got married in 1884. Her husband was an actor, a stove designer, and a furniture maker. He also had a career in theater where he directed a play of his wife’s most famous The Leavenworth Case. But his career in theater wavered so he pursued in furniture making with the help of his wife.
