Tentang Penulis
Annie Haynes (1865–1929) was a pioneer in the realm of detective fiction, shaping the genre with her unique blend of suspense and character insight during the early 20th century. Although she faced the challenge of making her mark in a field predominantly dominated by male writers, Haynes established herself as an important figure among her contemporaries, such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. Her seminal work, ‘The Crow’s Inn Tragedy, ‘ stands out as a hallmark of the classic English whodunit, offering readers a compelling narrative rich with twists and a keen sense of place. Haynes’ literary style is characterized by meticulous plotting and the adept use of misdirection, a tradition that has heavily influenced detective fiction. Unfortunately, as is the case with many female authors of her time, she did not receive the full recognition she deserved during her lifetime, and it wasn’t until recent years that her contributions to the genre have begun to be re-evaluated and appreciated. Her novels did not just entertain; they invited readers to hone their analytical skills and engage in the mystery right alongside her detectives.
