This volume collects all three Amelia Butterworth novels by Anna Katharine Green: "e;That Affair Next Door,"e; "e;Lost Man's Lane"e; and "e;The Circular Study."e; If you are not yet familiar with Green's work, you will soon be a fan -- she was a major influence on the development of the modern mystery story and a strong influence on Agatha Christie. (Miss Marple was modelled after Amelia Butterworth.)
