"The Red Lady" by Katharine Newlin Burt is a suspenseful novel written in the early 20th century. It tells the story of Janice Gale, who becomes a housekeeper for the reclusive Mrs. Edna Brane at a mysterious estate known as "The Pines." As Janice begins her work, she encounters a series of eerie occurrences, including the haunting presence of a red-haired woman that sparks both fear for the safety of Mrs. Brane's ill son, Robbie, and a quest to uncover the secrets surrounding the house. At the start of the novel, Janice is introduced as an inexperienced but determined young woman seeking work. She receives a mysterious offer for a position at The Pines, where she meets the nervous and fragile Mrs. Brane and her sickly son, Robbie. Janice quickly realizes that her new environment harbors unsettling secrets as former housekeepers have fled under strange circumstances linked to the boy's nightmares about a red-haired lady. The escalating tension intensifies with the death of Robbie, which leaves Janice entangled with both suspicion and mystery, particularly regarding her own resemblance to the spectral figure haunting the household. The opening chapters establish a haunting backdrop and a compelling emergency, drawing readers into a web of intrigue and danger as Janice seeks to untangle the truth about her unsettling new home.
