HTML: Groundbreaking mystery writer Anna Katherine Green is regarded as one of the most important early innovators in the genre and one of the most procedurally and scientifically accurate of most early detective fiction authors. Although The Mystery of the Hasty Arrow is a classic Green novel in its pulse-pounding plot and scientific detail, this mystery also adds a layer of psychological complexity that will thrill suspense fans. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

AKG was, and is, considered a strong mystery writer, but as is true of most every writer, her work is sometimes better than others. This was one of the ones that wasn't quite so great, though still an enjoyable read. I imagine Green was going for what we'd call today a police procedural, as the murderer isn't kept a mystery; the reader is made privy to the information the same time Inspector Gryce first voices his suspicions. I'm not a procedural fan, as it contains less puzzle than I prefer. There was also a plot twist that was either poorly hidden, or I'm too jaded, but I called it from the first. Her reveal of it, though, would have knocked my socks off if I hadn't guessed early on.
Overall, I enjoyed it and look forward to acquiring more of her work. ( )
