A couple of months ago I read a thriller, Lost Man's Lane by A.K. Green, and I found today that it has just been released into the public domain: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/anna-katharine-green/lost-mans-lane

Here are my quick two cents. TL;DR: meh.

Lost Man's Lane

Spooky season 2025 - here we come! 馃巸 Meh. I didn鈥檛 like the narrator鈥檚 style or tone. I understand that Mrs. Green was a pioneer in detective stories, but there are two main issues: some of the clich茅s are excessive, and some parts are not well explained. It was too rushed or too slow.
