Amethyst Box

Amethyst Box

Anna Katharine Green

On the eve of his wedding, Sinclair makes a terrifying discovery: his precious amethyst box, housing a tiny flask of deadly poison, has vanished from his study. The clock ticks toward his marriage, but suspicion clouds every embrace. Was it taken by his unsuspecting bride-to-be, or by the cousin she lives with, the woman his best friend Worthington loves? As the two men race against time to recover the poison before it can be used, they must navigate a treacherous landscape of secrets, jealousy, and Victorian courtship, where a gift between cousins might carry fatal intent. Green weaves a tantalizing web of romantic suspense, where every smile hides a possibility and every whispered confidence could be a confession. The result is a gripping puzzle box of a novel, at once a romance and a thriller, showcasing the pioneering work of a woman who helped shape detective fiction.
