About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I can see why this was probably the author’s most popular book. It was a fascinating story with many a twist and turn. And Kevin Green, the Librivox narrator, did a very good job. While it is difficult for a man to perform women’s voices as well as women can do men’s voices, he did a very good job. Hope to listen to more of Mary Katharine Green’s books on Scribd!!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A good story with a good reader! I remained engaged until the end, enjoyed the ride itself, and the Agatha Christie vibe gave me a gentle feeling of safety while inside the tale.
