Summary

The Circular Study
By Anna Katharine Green

Anna Katharine Green is considered a pioneer in American detective fiction, known for her legally accurate plots and the invention of the "girl detective" trope. Classic detective novel The Circular Study features New York Police Detective Ebenezer Gryce, who is drawn out of a melancholic pre-retirement by a bizarre murder. Set in a New York brownstone, a man is found stabbed in a secured, unique, circular study, involving a mute servant, hidden metal barriers, and a mysterious woman.
