Like the British that brought and bought him, the African is an organic and indigenous part of Southern culture and it is high time that we all look at our shared history with a bit more honesty and calm, remembering it all, but choosing to reflect upon and celebrate that which has made the South like that bowl of chili that burns your mouth so, but that you cant stop eating.

Spoiler-Free Reviews of Fair Play Detective Fiction
I have got to try Anna Katherine Green. Have read lots about her in mystery reference books but never taken the plunge. Your post from April was also very good, full of information. Are you reading a paper copy or an e book? (I have read no e-books.) I am subscribing to your blog by email so I don't miss any more posts.

Looks like a nice Victorian Mystery.

Ebook, Tracy. There are quite a few free by her. That's why I finally got an ereader for all free vintage mysteries!

Thanks for participating Peggy Ann. I read X.Y.Z. A Detective Story last year – got it cheaply for my Kindle from Amazon.

I love the classic mysteries and have trouble moving into more contemporary mystery fiction. I've never heard of Anna Green but I'll keep an eye out for her on bookshelves.

That's me too Peter! Hope you find some of her books. If not they are available for free to read on the computer or ereader.

Peggy Ann – What an elegant use of language you shared with us! It's good to know that these old vintage stories are easily available. At times those terrific “oldies but goodies” really “fill the bill.” And the mystery in this one looks like a good 'un.

I read Green's XYZ: A Detective Story last year. It was a disappointment. This one though sounds promising.

Really enjoyed the post as I've been meaning to read something by Green for years but have never quite got myself organised though I think I have THE LAVENWORTH CASE lying around somewhere.
Cheers,
Sergio

I too read X,Y,Z last year. I thought it was written in formal and stilted style, and is melodramatic, but it moves swiftly along, with clearly defined characters and a well-described setting. It interested me enough to want to investigate more of Green’s novels, so I'll look out for 'The Filigree Ball'.
