Room Number 3, and Other Detective Stories

From Wikisource
Room Number 3, and Other Detective Stories (1913)
by Anna Katharine Green
Edition: New York, A L Burt Company., 1913. Also published as Masterpieces of Mystery.

I have always found the long stories of Anna Katharine Green rather ludicrous for their ponderous crudity of style. To my surprise, several of the shorter tales collected in "Room Number 3" are of incontestable merit, as pieces of writing. "Midnight in Beauchamp Row" and "The Little Steel Coils" are finely finished bits of work.
