Lost Man's Lane: A Second Episode in the Life of Amelia Butterworth by Green
"Lost Man's Lane: A Second Episode in the Life of Amelia Butterworth" by Anna Katharine Green is a detective novel written in the late 19th century. The book features Amelia Butterworth, a discerning and resolute amateur detective, who becomes involved in a series of mysterious disappearances in a quaint village. Guided by a renowned detective, Mr. Gryce, she is compelled to investigate these unsettling events, which linger ominously over the local community.
The beginning of this novel introduces readers to Amelia, who has recently found herself drawn back into the world of crime-solving after a previous successful case. As she learns from Mr. Gryce about the peculiar disappearances of various men in the village known for its tranquility, her curiosity is piqued. In the narrative, her character is characterized by her decisive nature and determination, as she prepares to visit her deceased friend's children, the Knollys sisters, living in a house overshadowed by the mystery of these disappearances. The initial chapters establish an atmosphere of foreboding, hinting at the intertwining secrets and tensions within the Knollys family home, setting the stage for Amelia's unfolding investigation.
