About the work

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

LibriVox recording of The Leavenworth Case (Version 2) by Anna Katharine Green. Read in English by Kevin Green The Leavenworth Case is a gripping detective novel set in New York, and is one of the first detective fiction novels to be written by a female. Indeed, it was the first novel by Anna Katharine Green who came to be known as 'the mother of the detective novel', and 'The Leavenworth Case' was cited by Agatha Christie as an influence on her own fiction. The story plot twists and turns leaving the reader uncertain as to the identity of the murderer until the very end. This is one of the best detective stories you will ever hear.
