4.9/5 (13798 ratings)

Description:This is volume 3 of the famous "Mr. Gryce Series" by Anna Katharine Green, considered "the Mother of Modern Crime Fiction". This volume is also a trilogy in itself, because of the character which becomes the real detective:the nosy society spinster Amelia Butterworth, a middle-aged woman who lives in a wealthy part of New York City, and would become the prototype for Miss Marple, Miss Silver and other famous creations by other authors, including Agatha Christie, who recognized the influence in her autobiography.That Affair Next Door, in which Miss Buttleworth makes her first appearence, is a fascinating study in human motivations intertwined with bits and pieces of circumstantial evidence that at first make very little sense... A funny, clever, and indeed, mysterious novel, in which the tension between Miss Butterworth and the elder Detective Gryce is funny and endearing.In the second book, in Lost Man's Lane the author keeps an intricate and absorbing plot, that unfolds it carefully bit by bit by the agency of her chosen hero or heroine. We have once more the friendly rivalry of Amelia Butterworth and Mr. Gryce, the aged detective inspector, working towards the same end--the solution of the mystery which gave the lane its name, and which made it to be shunned by nearly all the inhabitants of the village.The final episode of this particular trilogy with beloved Amelia Butterworth, is The Circular Study, detective Gryce receives a cryptic message calling him to the scene of a “strange” crime. In a quiet brownstone house in a respectable New York City neighborhood, he finds the body of a man brutally stabbed to death, yet lovingly laid out on the floor of his study. The only apparent witnesses are a deaf and dumb butler driven mad by the event, and a caged bird that sings out a vital but puzzling clue. Before solving the crime, he must uncover a motive that spans generations and the passions that have kept it alive...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
