Autorenporträt
Annie Haynes (1865–1929) was an English novelist, best known for her detective stories. She is often considered one of the first female mystery writers to pave the way for later generations in the genre. Haynes' work is marked by its methodical plotting and her keen insight into human psychology, which allowed her to craft intricate narratives that captured the imaginations of her readers. A contemporary of Agatha Christie, her writing journey started with romantic fiction but she soon found her true calling in crime fiction, reflecting the anxieties and changing social norms of the post-World War I era. Her book 'Who Killed Charmian Karslake?' stands out as an exemplary piece of her literary style, combining the classic whodunit formula with rich characterizations and a well-drawn female protagonist. Although her career was cut short by her untimely death, Haynes left behind a legacy of 12 detective novels which are still celebrated today for their significant contribution to the development of the mystery genre, shining a light on female authors' potential in a field that was, at the time, predominantly male. Her works remain a testimony to her talent and her pioneering role in the evolution of detective literature.
