The Mill Mystery by Anna Katharine Green
"The Mill Mystery" by Anna Katharine Green is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on Constance Sterling, a young woman grappling with personal challenges, who becomes entwined in a larger mystery following the tragic death of Mr. Barrows, a beloved local clergyman, found in an old mill. As Constance navigates her own struggles, she befriends Ada Reynolds, Mr. Barrows' betrothed, drawing her into an emotional whirlwind filled
with intrigue, community gossip, and questions surrounding the circumstances of the clergyman's death. At the start of the book, we find Constance feeling desolate and alone when she receives a letter for her roommate, Ada. Their bond strengthens as Ada, who harbors a secret about her own happiness and romantic plans, offers to help Constance in her time of need. Their interaction is interrupted by commotion in the streets, leading to the revelation of Mr. Barrows' death, which devastates Ada. The opening chapters effectively set the stage for the unfolding drama, establishing the mystery of Barrows' death while introducing themes of love, friendship, and the stigma of societal judgment as Constance resolves to uncover the truth behind the clergyman's tragic end.
