"The Doctor, his Wife, and the Clock" by Anna Katharine Green is a crime fiction novella written during the late 19th century. The story centers on a mysterious murder involving a respected citizen, Mr. Hasbrouck, as his death unfolds the complexities and tensions within the lives of those connected to him, particularly focusing on Dr. Zabriskie and his wife. Through a blend of suspense, investigation, and psychological depth, the book explores themes of jealousy, guilt, and the impact of tragic circumstances. The narrative begins with the shocking murder of Mr. Hasbrouck, leading detective Ebenezer Gryce to investigate the case. As the plot unfolds, the story reveals the inner turmoil of Dr. Zabriskie, who believes he has unwittingly committed the murder due to a series of misunderstandings and overwhelming emotions. His blind condition further complicates matters, heightening the suspense surrounding his actions. The novel culminates in a tragic turn of events that intertwines the fates of the doctor, his wife, and the victims of the circumstances, ultimately raising questions about accountability, sanity, and the nature of love and sacrifice.
