The House in the Mist by Anna Katharine Green, Fiction, Thrillers, Mystery & Detective, Literary

I didn't mean to read this at the time I did, but the first sentence caught my attention this morning and I read it before breakfast! The tired traveller, the narrator, tells a very interesting story; my attention did not lag in the least. One event follows the other in a quick sequences, and the entire book covers the events of only one night. The plot is unusual and satisfying. Those with little time to read will enjoy the short, novella-style length.
Highly recommended.
