"A Difficult Problem" by Anna Katharine Green is a crime fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the complexities of a mysterious death that shrouds the story in intrigue, focusing particularly on the widow Lucy Holmes, who receives shocking news about her husband, James Forsythe De Witt Holmes. Throughout the narrative, themes of trust, revenge, and the pursuit of truth intertwine as the protagonist attempts to unravel the enigma surrounding her husband's demise. The story begins with Lucy Holmes visiting a detective after discovering a death notice for her husband, who she believed was alive. As she recounts the events leading up to the unsettling discovery, it becomes evident that there are layers of deception surrounding her husband's death. A telegram confirms the news of his passing, but strange coincidences regarding a false obituary notice raise suspicion. The detective investigates the matter further, uncovering connections to a former lover of Lucy's, John Graham, who harbors resentment after being jilted. The plot thickens as hints of poison and revenge emerge, leading to a tense climax that unveils the motivations behind the tragedy. As the truth comes to light, the narrative delves into the psychological impacts of betrayal and the complexities of human relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
