Über den Autor

Anna Katharine Green (1846–1935) was a pioneering figure in American detective fiction. Prior to her becoming synonymous with the genre, it had largely been the domain of British writers. Green is best recognized for her role in shaping the archetype of the detective novel and for her creation of strong female characters at a time when women were often relegated to the background in literature. Her ingenuity in the genre has earned her the moniker 'the mother of the detective novel'. One of Green's noteworthy contributions is 'The Case for Violet Strange', which showcases her flair for creating compelling mystery narratives centered around her titular heroine, Violet Strange. This was a part of Green's larger body of work that often featured unravelling enigmas with keen attention to legal and psychological intricacies. Green's literary style is characterized by a detailed plotting, careful construction of clues, and a focus on the suspense of detection, marrying the analytical with the dramatic in her narratives. These attributes paved the way for future writers to develop the detective story genre. Her legacy endures, as her works continue to be an influential part of the mystery and detective literary canon, inspiring countless authors and readers with her cerebral and engaging stories.
