About this listen

Delve into this intricately woven, character-centric mystery where Detective Gryce is drawn into a strange crime scene by an enigmatic message. A man has been savagely murdered yet gently placed on the study floor of his own quiet brownstone house in an upscale New York City neighbourhood. The only potential witnesses - a deaf and mute butler, driven to insanity by the incident, and a caged bird singing an essential yet bewildering clue. Along with the formidable Miss Amelia Butterworth, Gryce must unravel a motive that crosses generations and the intense passions that have kept it alive before he can solve the crime. Authored by Anna Katharine Green, a trailblazer in American detective fiction, she brought legal accuracy into the genre and created the girl detective. Her works are celebrated for their vibrant, twisting plots and robustly built characters. (Summary by Christine Dufour)Copyright Nighttime Radio Art Literary History & Criticism True Crime
