Autorenporträt
Anna Katharine Green (1846–1935) was a pioneering figure in the American detective fiction genre, predating Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work featuring the iconic Sherlock Holmes. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Green's foray into literature was initially met with obstacles, as her early poetry failed to garner the recognition she sought. Undeterred, she shifted her focus to mystery novels, a decision that would earn her the moniker 'The Mother of the Detective Novel.' Her debut novel, 'The Leavenworth Case' (1878), received critical acclaim and was admired for its intricate plotting and legal accuracy, thanks in part to her lawyer father's influence. Green's literary style is characterized by her attention to detail, psychological depth, and strong female characters, which was unusual for the time. 'Midnight In Beauchamp Row' is another testament to her skillful storytelling and adept use of suspense. Green's work had a substantial influence on the genre, inspiring future writers to develop complex detective narratives. Throughout her career, she published over 40 novels and numerous short stories, solidifying her legacy as a trailblazer in detective fiction and an important figure in American literature.
