Summary "The Filigree Ball" by Anna Katharine Green is a detective novel written during the late 19th century. The book centers around a complex murder mystery involving the Moore house, a historic dwelling with a dark reputation, and its inhabitants, particularly the tragic figure of Veronica Moore, who has recently been married. The story promises to unravel themes of family secrets, societal pressures, and perhaps a hint of supernatural intrigue as it explores the events leading to a shocking death. The opening of the novel introduces the main character, a detective who aspires to prove himself, as he becomes involved in the Jeffrey-Moore affair after hearing about strange occurrences in the supposedly empty Moore house. The narrative quickly establishes an eerie atmosphere as he encounters Uncle David Moore, a cantankerous old man with a strong connection to the house and its troubled history. Tension builds around the tragic wedding of Veronica, during which a guest dies mysteriously, causing unease among the attendees. By the end of the opening portion, the detective discovers a young woman, identified as Veronica, lying dead in the forbidden room of the house, igniting suspicions of murder masked as suicide. The intricate plot set forth in these initial chapters hints at deep emotional and psychological conflicts as the detective seeks the truth against a backdrop of a society gripped by rumors and fear.
