About this audiobook

A universally beloved woman has been murdered. But who would have the heart to kill Agatha Webb? Would her husband do it for money matters? Or would it be the cook, who died at about the same time? Or would it be the rich and well-connected Mr. Fredrick, who ran away into the woods? This work is also for feminist fiction lovers. As the story starts right after the murder, we see how miss Page, a servant at a rich house who is the sweetheart of the same Mr. Fredrick, wants to join the investigation- and is constantly prevented from doing so by conservative men. (Summary by Stav Nisser)

    It’s a very interesting story, but this reading of it ends before the end of the book!

    This is one of the saddest yet most engaging books I have ever read or listened to. I have read several of Anna Katharine Green’s books, and this is one of her best. I can see why she was so very popular during the time that these books were written. And it is just sad that an author as capable as she was has become virtually unknown and supplanted by writers who have nowhere near the talent nor skill that she possessed. NOTE HERE, HOWEVER: This audiobook on Scribd is NOT complete. It stops at chapter 27, whereas there are 38 chapters in the book. I was able to listen to the remainder on LibriVox, however. The narration of this book on Scribd is unfortunately not up to the standard of the book itself because it is by amateur Librivox readers, but the story is so well written and holds your attention so well that I was able to get past that. I highly recommend this book except for the content omission.
