"Room Number 3 and Other Detective Stories" by Anna Katharine Green is a collection of detective stories written in the early 20th century. This particular story appears to revolve around a mysterious incident involving a death, with the young woman, Miss Demarest, at its center as she grapples with the implications surrounding her mother's fatal fall. The narrative hints at secrets within the Three Forks Tavern, introducing various characters who may play crucial roles in uncovering the truth. The opening of the tale immerses readers in a tense investigation where two men, presumably a coroner and a deputy sheriff, are questioning Miss Demarest in the wake of her mother's death. Despite her insistence that they were together in the tavern, the landlord denies her claims, deepening the mystery. As the coroner and his companion listen to her account, the young woman vehemently defends her truth against the allegations questioning her credibility. The complexity of her emotions and the ambiguous circumstances raise suspense, leading the reader to anticipate a thrilling search for the truth behind her mother's death and the underlying secrets surrounding Room Number 3.
