The Filigree Ball Being a full and true account of the solution of the mystery concerning the Jeffrey-Moore affair by Anna Katharine Green
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A story from the point of view of a policeman only named as F. He is called out to Moore House, a house owned by Mrs Jeffrey nee Veronica Moore. A house with a bad reputation, because so far three bodies have been found. The latest was at the wedding of Miss Veronica Moore to Mr Francis Jeffrey. Since then only several weeks have passed and now when a light is seen in this uninhabited house F investigates and finds a body. Is it suicide or murder. F is sure that it is murder and looks for the evidence. But what could be the motive, who are the suspects and what about the filigree ball.
An interesting crime story, originally written in 1903
