Agatha Webb

by Anna Katharine Green

Agatha Webb, a beloved woman, is found murdered, leaving behind a web of suspicion and intrigue. Her husband, driven by financial motives, becomes a prime suspect. The cook, who dies shortly after, adds another layer of complexity to the case. Meanwhile, Mr. Frederick, a wealthy and influential man with a connection to Agatha, flees into the woods, further fueling the mystery. Miss Page, a servant and Mr. Frederick's love interest, desires to help with the investigation, but her efforts are repeatedly thwarted. As the investigation unfolds, the lines between innocence and guilt blur, and the truth behind Agatha's demise remains elusive.
