| Summary | "The House in the Mist" by Anna Katharine Green is a detective novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a mysterious gathering of relatives, initially characterized by a sense of foreboding as characters converge at an eerie mansion. The narrative focuses on a young wayfarer who has stumbled into a complex family drama marked by greed, inheritance, and lurking malevolence. At the start of the novel, the main character finds himself drawn to a dimly lit mansion while seeking shelter from a misty night. Once inside, he observes the odd behavior of various relatives arriving for a mysterious meeting, led by an enigmatic lawyer. The atmosphere is thick with tension and suspicion as the participants anticipate the reading of a will that promises an unexpected fortune. As the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that the family members harbor secrets and desires that will lead to dire consequences, creating an engaging blend of intrigue, deception, and impending horror.
