The Circular Study by Anna Katharine Green
"The Circular Study" by Anna Katharine Green is a novel written in the early 20th century. This intriguing mystery introduces Mr. Gryce, an elderly detective who is unexpectedly awakened from his melancholy state when he learns of a "strange crime" that has occurred in the home of a reclusive man named Mr. Adams. As Gryce investigates this mysterious case, he grapples with the tensions of the past, discovering a crime scene that
promises both horror and enlightenment. At the start of the story, the old detective is called to the site of a murder after a boy delivers a chilling message about a crime committed in Mr. Adams' mansion. The narrative details Gryce's arrival at the scene, where he finds the body of Adams dramatically posed upon a bear rug with a dagger in his heart, surrounded by a peculiar atmosphere filled with rose-colored light. As Gryce inspects the room, he uncovers small clues, including the path of glittering spangles, which suggest a woman had been present. The story sets off a chain of events that draws in diverse characters, propelling the detective—and the reader—into a labyrinth of emotions, secrets, and the enduring quest for truth.
