Our country clubhouse, The Whispering Pines, was closed for the year. He considered driving in to put an end to my dissatisfaction in a violent carouse. He suddenly noticed a faint trail of smoke rising from the chimneys he had personally sealed, locked, and barred. After looking into it, he sees his sister's fiancée run out of the building in tears and discovers her dead body upstairs. Fans of traditional detective fiction shouldn't miss "The House of the Whispering Pines," the third novel in Green's Caleb Sweetwater-starring detective series, which is a page-turner loaded with suspense. He did not fear an assault; I was afraid of something else. It was there, in the chamber, which, as he had already mentioned, seemed to be completely vacant. Why remain here like a gaby in the dark when there were still passageways to explore?

Anna Katharine Green was an American poet and novelist, born on November 11, 1846, in Brooklyn, New York. She is often regarded as one of the pioneers of detective fiction in America and has been called "the mother of the detective novel" for her contributions to the genre. Green was known for her well-crafted, legally accurate stories that set her apart from many other writers of her time. She achieved notable success with her first novel, The Leavenworth Case, and went on to write many other detective stories that captivated readers. Her works were recognized for their intricate plots and attention to detail, influencing the development of the mystery genre. Green married Charles Rohlfs in 1884, and they remained together until her death on April 11, 1935, in Buffalo, New York. Beyond her literary career, Green's works were adapted into several films, including The Leavenworth Case, His Wife's Husband, and Who Is Number One? Her legacy endures as a trailblazer in American detective fiction.
