Summary "The House of the Whispering Pines" by Anna Katharine Green is a novel written in the early 20th century. This mystery unfolds around the life of Elwood Ranelagh, who finds himself in a web of intrigue after the shocking discovery of his betrothed, Adelaide Cumberland, dead in the secluded club-house known as The Whispering Pines. The narrative explores themes of love, betrayal, and the consequences of past actions, all set against a backdrop of emotional turmoil and suspense. At the start of the book, we meet Elwood as he recklessly drives through a winter storm, disheartened after missing a rendezvous that could have changed his fate. He unexpectedly finds smoke rising from The Whispering Pines, a place he thought was closed for the season. Upon entering, he discovers that the club-house is not empty and is drawn into a series of mysterious events when he encounters a young woman, Carmel Cumberland, the sister of the deceased, fleeing the scene in distress. The opening portion sets a tense atmosphere as Elwood grapples with personal loss and confusion, leading to his harrowing discovery of Adelaide's body and the tragic circumstances that ensue. With a strong introduction to the compelling characters and the dark secrets they harbor, the beginning of this novel promises a gripping mystery ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
