Autorenporträt
Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) is acknowledged as one of the pioneering figures in the detective fiction genre, especially in America. Her writing career began in the post-Civil War era, a time when the field of detective storytelling was predominantly male-dominated. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Green was well educated and had initially pursued poetry. However, it was her foray into mystery writing that earned her critical acclaim. Her first novel, 'The Leavenworth Case' (1878), became a bestseller and is considered a classic in detective literature. Green's works are known for their well-plotted stories and the creation of one of the first detective series featuring the character Ebenezer Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police Force. Her expertise in legal matters and attention to detail in crafting her mysteries set her works apart from others and influenced future writers like Agatha Christie. 'The Staircase At The Heart's Delight', one of her many mystery tales, stands testament to Green's ability to weave intricate plots and create atmospheric narratives that capture the reader's attention. Green's literary style includes intricate plots, attention to legal accuracy, and the portrayal of strong female characters, which was quite innovative for her time. Her body of work comprises over 40 novels and numerous short stories, contributing significantly to the genre's development and paving the way for future generations of crime writers.
