About
On the night before a wedding, a beautiful amethyst box is shown to the guests as a rare curiosity. Hidden inside is a tiny vial said to contain a deadly poison. When the box disappears, what first seemed like a romantic trinket becomes the center of a terrifying mystery.
As suspicion falls across the bridal party, friendship, love, jealousy, and fear are tested in a single tense night. A scream in the darkness, a sudden death, and the discovery of the empty vial force the characters to confront a chilling question: was the poison stolen for suicide, murder, or some secret purpose no one dares to name?
First published in 1905, The Amethyst Box is a compact and suspenseful mystery by Anna Katharine Green, one of the pioneering figures of American detective fiction.
