Before Agatha Christie created Miss Marple, Anna Katharine Green introduced literature's first great spinster sleuth in That Affair Next Door. The mystery begins in Manhattan’s exclusive Gramercy Park when the fiercely observant Miss Amelia Butterworth spots a couple entering the supposedly vacant mansion next door. The next morning, a young woman is found dead inside, murdered with a commonplace hatpin and her identity obscured. Unimpressed by the official police investigation, Miss Butterworth launches her own independent inquiry. She quickly enters a competitive battle of wits with veteran detective Ebenezer Gryce. This atmospheric classic delivers a masterful blend of suspense, social satire, and psychological intrigue.
