The Amelia Butterworth Mysteries by Anna Katharine Green (Halcyon Classics)

THE AMELIA BUTTERWORTH MYSTERIES is a series of three novels featuring Miss Amelia Butterworth teamed up with Detective Ebenezer Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police. Miss Butterworth is a nosy high-society lady whose wealth and lack of family give her the free time solve several Victorian-era crimes.

Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was a pioneering American author of detective fiction. Her legally accurate and intricately-plotted works served to inspire later generations of writers, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie, who patterned her 'Miss Marple' character after Green's spinster crimefighter Amelia Butterworth.
