The Woman in the Alcove by Anna Katharine Green ~ Full Audiobook [mystery]

The Woman in the Alcove by Anna Katharine Green audiobook. Genre: mystery At a glittering New York ball, plain, practical Rita Van Arsdale is stunned when Anson Durand, the man she has quietly admired, proposes marriage. Moments later the night turns sinister: the celebrated beauty Mrs. Fairbrother is discovered murdered in a curtained recess known as the alcove, and the spectacular diamond that drew every eye has vanished. Whispers race through the mansion, the guests become suspects, and the police close in - with Anson uncomfortably near the center of suspicion. Refusing to let her future be decided by rumor and circumstantial evidence, Rita begins to watch, listen, and reconstruct the evening's hidden movements for herself. Moving between drawing rooms and back corridors, she confronts coded conversations, social rivalries, and a household full of people with something to conceal, while working alongside official investigators whose methods do not always match her instincts. Anna Katharine Green blends courtroom-sharp logic with high-society tension in a mystery where love complicates testimony, appearances mislead, and one secluded alcove holds the key to a deadly truth.
