A mysterious murder-stabbing. A deaf and dumb butler. And a caged starling desperate to set themselves free. When the reclusive owner of a distinguished house is found dead inside the circular study, Gryce knows a complex web of passion and rage must run straight to the heart of the motive. And with the help of an ambitious young cop and the infamous Amelia Butterworth, this tale of betrayal and revenge seems ripe for the picking. But with one lonesome bird singing his heart out, can Gyrce crack the cryptic code and locate the killer? Book 9 in the ‘Ebenezer Gryce’ series, ‘The Circular Study’ weaves a rip-roaring tale of murder and deceit, celebrated today as one of the ‘Ninety Classics of Crime Fiction’. Ideal for fans of Benedict Cumberbatch's ‘Sherlock’. One of the first writers of detective fiction, Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was an American poet and novelist. Born in Brooklyn New York, her bestselling ‘Ebenezer Gryce’ series explores the trials and tribulations of the much-loved detective Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police. Celebrated as popularising the detective genre a decade before Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘Sherlock Holmes’ mysteries, Green is remembered today as ‘the mother of the detective novel’.

The Circular Study highlights both of Green's talents, offering readers an expertly plotted story and a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a killer. In this well-plotted, character-driven mystery, Detective Gryce receives a cryptic message calling him to the scene of a "strange" crime. He soon finds that the adjective is correct, for in a quiet brownstone house in a respectable New York City neighborhood, he finds the body of a man brutally stabbed to death, yet lovingly laid out on the floor of his study. The only apparent witnesses are a deaf and dumb butler driven mad by the event, and a caged bird that sings out a vital but puzzling clue. Before he solves the crime, with the help of the redoubtable Miss Amelia Butterworth, Gryce must uncover a motive that spans generations and the passions that have kept it alive.

The Circular Study: Large Print by Anna Katharine Green Passing on, he came unexpectedly upon a narrow curtain, so dark of hue and so akin in pattern to the draperies on the adjoining walls that it had up to this time escaped his attention. It was not that of a window, for such windows as were to be seen in this unique apartment were high upon the wall, indeed, almost under the ceiling. It must, therefore, drape the opening into still another communicating room. And such he found to be the case. Pushing this curtain aside, he entered a narrow closet containing a bed, a dresser, and a small table. The bed was the narrow cot of a bachelor, and the dresser that of a man of luxurious tastes and the utmost nicety of habit. Both the bed and dresser were in perfect order, save for a silver-backed comb, which had been taken from the latter, and which he presently found lying on the floor at the other end of the room.
