First published in 1895, "The Doctor, His Wife, and the Clock" is a detective novel written by American novelist Anna Katharine Green. Ebenezer Gryce is once again leading a murder investigation, this time concerning a man who has been shot dead in his own house. Without any leads, evidence, or witnesses, he turns to the victim's immediate neighbours: a blind doctor and his stunningly beautiful wife. The seventh book in Green's detective series featuring Mr. Gryce, "The Doctor, His Wife, and the Clock" is a riveting tale of mystery and intrigue not to be missed by fans of classic detective fiction. Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was an American novelist and poet. Among the first writers of detective fiction in America, she is considered to be the "mother" of the genre for her legally-accurate and well-thought-out plots. Other notable works by this author include: "The Leavenworth Case" (1878), "A Strange Disappearance" (1880), and "The Circular Study" (1900). Read & Co.
