About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The House of the Whispering Pines by Anna Katharine Green. Read by Carolin Kaiser. The country club house The Whispering Pines was closed for the winter, but only one day after he locked the place personally, the narrator sees smoke come out of the chimney. He decides to investigate and enters the house. Hidden in the dark, he sees the sister of his fiance, the girl he secretly loves, run out of the house with tears in her eyes. Upstairs then, he discovers the dead body of his betrothed and becomes the prime suspect of the case. Detective Sweetwater is called upon to clear up the mystery. (Introduction by Carolin)
