| Summary | "Hand and Ring" by Anna Katharine Green is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a murder case in the small town of Sibley, starting with the discovery of the widow Clemmens, who has been attacked in her home. The narrative introduces several characters, including the young detective Horace Byrd, who is drawn into investigating the crime, while also hinting at the enigmatic Imogene Dare whose connection to the case appears to be more intricate than initially assumed. The opening of the book sets the stage for a tense atmosphere following the court's adjournment, where discussions about crime and its implications unfold amidst casual camaraderie among lawyers and officials. The mood shifts dramatically when they learn about the widow's plight, prompting immediate concern and action. As Byrd begins to piece together the details of the murder, he encounters Imogene, a woman shrouded in mystery and increasingly tied to the unfolding drama. The narrative intricately weaves themes of curiosity, intrigue, and the quest for truth while introducing various twists and characters that complicate the murder investigation and tease the readers about hidden motives and connections.
