In this bonus episode, Amy follows the clues to learn more about writer Anna Katharine Green (a.k.a "The Mother of the Detective Novel") whose late 19th-century mysteries inspired the likes of Agatha Christie and last week's "lost lady," Carolyn Wells. Green's 1878 debut novel The Leavenworth Case was an instant bestseller and features a sophisticated understanding of C.S.I and the legal system. Guest Rebecca Rego Barry helps weigh in on this pioneer of the detective-novel genre.
