The Forsaken Inn

Written by Anna Katharine Green

Narrated by Jennifer Fournier

“The vivid flashes of lightning that shot every now and then through the cracks of the closely shuttered window, making a skeleton of its framework, added not a little to its terror, there being no other light in the room save that....

”An abandoned inn, a crime that took 16 years to be discovered, a generational story of love and betrayal all await the listener in this rendition of Anna Katharine Green’s The Forsaken Inn. A bride arrives on her wedding night and leaves the next day... or did she? Sixteen years later her long-deceased corpse is found at the inn and the unraveling of the mystery of her death begins.

Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935), a prolific author and “the mother of the detective novel,” wrote The Forsaken Inn in 1889. It is a stand-alone murder mystery with hints of gothic paranormal influences.
