"The Mystery of the Hasty Arrow" by Anna Katharine Green is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a tragic incident that unfolds in a museum, where a young girl is found dead with an arrow in her breast, creating a mystery that captivates both the museum staff and the police. The plot follows the attempts of detective Mr. Gryce as he tries to uncover the truth behind the girl's death and the circumstances surrounding it. The opening of the novel reveals a scene filled with shock and tension as museum visitors witness the aftermath of the girl's tragic fall. The atmosphere is chilling as attendees rush to understand the situation. Among those present is Ermentrude Taylor, a remarkable woman who becomes a key figure in the unfolding mystery. The narrative introduces the complex emotions surrounding the incident and hints at a potential crime, with various characters already drawn into the web of intrigue as the detective begins his investigation. The initial chapters set the stage for a compelling whodunit, drawing readers into a world of suspense, emotional turmoil, and the quest for justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
