Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

I have always loved Anna Katharine Green's mysteries, and I'm happy to report that I loved this one just as much as her others. This is a collection of loosely connected short stories (usually Violet herself is the only connection) and has some elements of horror in it also (especially the old house with the sealed up secret passage, and the cave by the sea). Violet is a very interesting and unusual sleuth, a gentle society girl who secretly moonlights as a professional detective.
Content: a couple minor swears; some death, murder, and mayhem
