When a New York high society party ends in murder, a young woman must clear her new fiancé’s name, in this 1905 mystery by a detective fiction pioneer. Having grown up an orphan, Miss Rita Van Arsdale never expected a life of glamour and romance. But when she is invited to an elegant party—she finds herself surrounded by New York City’s crème de la crème—and falling in love with dashingly handsome Anson Durand. Rita’s life later takes a turn when Anson proposes marriage . . . but the evening has more surprises in store. A beautiful woman has been murdered and her spectacular diamond has disappeared. When Anson is named the prime suspect, Rita is determined to prove his innocence. But there are dark secrets lurking beneath the sparkling veneer of New York’s high society, and some are willing to do anything to keep them hidden.

The Woman in the Alcove is a gripping story of Eldridge Walcott. The story starts when he sees a woman seated in the alcove and glances at her carelessly. The mysterious woman intrigued him. She was alone, her back was towards him, and her head was slightly bent as if in thought. But to Walcott's surprise, she turned out to be someone he knew very well. What happens between him and the woman unfolds later in this captivating story. This is a commendable work of fiction by American writer and academic Jennette Lee. Her excellent characterization, unique storyline, and simple writing style made this work an instant hit during its time.

I was, perhaps, the plainest girl in the room that night. I was also the happiest-up to one o'clock. Then my whole world crumbled, or, at least, suffered an eclipse. Why and how, I am about to relate. I was not made for love. This I had often said to myself; very often of late. In figure I am too diminutive, in face far too unbeautiful, for me to cherish expectations of this nature. Indeed, love had never entered into my plan of life, as was evinced by the nurse's diploma I had just gained after three years of hard study and severe training. I was not made for love. But if I had been; had I been gifted with height, regularity of feature, or even with that eloquence of expression which redeems all defects save those which savor of deformity, I knew well whose eye I should have chosen to please, whose heart I should have felt proud to win.
