The Leavenworth Case

by Anna Katharine Green

Two women. One murdered millionaire. A house full of secrets.

A wealthy New York man, Horatio Leavenworth, is found murdered inside his elegant mansion, leaving the household stunned and the police with more questions than answers. Suspicion quickly falls on those closest to him, especially his nieces, Mary and Eleanore, who stand to inherit his fortune. With conflicting clues and secrets emerging from the family’s past, the case becomes increasingly complicated.

Detective Ebenezer Gryce takes on the investigation, carefully examining the evidence and questioning everyone connected to the Leavenworth household. As new revelations come to light, the mystery deepens, drawing attention to hidden relationships, disputed inheritances, and motives that may have been concealed behind the mansion’s respectable walls.
