Summary "The Golden Slipper, and Other Problems for Violet Strange" by Anna Katharine Green is a collection of detective stories written during the late 19th century. The book introduces readers to Violet Strange, a young lady who employs her intelligence and social standing to solve mysteries, often in the realm of high society and scandal. The opening of the first story, "The Golden Slipper," sets the stage for Violet's adventure. It begins with a conversation between Mr. Driscoll and another gentleman who is astonished to learn that Violet Strange, considered a belle of the season, is an agent chosen to handle a delicate case involving a potential scandal in their elite social circle. Violet is tasked with investigating accusations of theft linked to a group of young women known as The Inseparables, with particular focus on Alicia Driscoll, who is implicated in the social turmoil. As Violet meets Mr. Driscoll and learns the intricacies of the case, her charming yet shrewd demeanor establishes her role as both a participant in society and a detective capable of unraveling its secrets. The narrative hints at complex relationships and the dramatic unfolding of events as she prepares to confront the issues that lie ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
