    About this ebook

    The Woman in The Alcove by Anna Katharine Green is about New York in the early 1900s. At a party, a young woman is proposed to, another beautiful woman is murdered, and soulless killer dances and drinks all night long without facing consequences. Excerpt: "I was, perhaps, the plainest girl in the room that night. I was also the happiest—up to one o'clock. Then my whole world crumbled, or, at least, suffered an eclipse. Why and how I am about to relate. I was not made for love. This I had often said to myself; very often of late. In the figure, I am too diminutive, in the face far too unbeautiful, for me to cherish expectations of this nature."

    Anna Katharine Green

    Anna Katharine Green (1846–1935) was an American writer and prominent figure in the detective genre. Born in New York City, Green developed an affinity for literature at an early age. She studied at Ripley Female College in Vermont and was mentored by poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson. One of Green’s best-known works is The Leavenworth Case, which was published in 1878. It was a critical and commercial success that made her one of the leading voices in literature. Over the course of her career, Green would go on to write nearly 40 books.
