Leavenworth Case: Book 1 - The Problem | Chapters 1-13

Please join me while I read "Book 1: The Problem" which contains Chapters 1-13 from the story "The Leavenworth Case" by Anna Katharine Green. This is a 4hr story that does not contain background music. This is meant to help you relax and fall asleep while listening to a calm reading. The duration is to provide you time to not be interrupted in your restful journey.

The story: In a quiet New York mansion, the night air grows still — and a single secret changes everything. Within the grand Leavenworth home, every glance, every pause, carries meaning. A respected man is found dead, and those who loved him most are left to face the delicate unraveling of truth.

As detective Gryce listens and observes, hidden motives surface like ripples in calm water. The story moves slowly, gently, through layers of trust and deception — reminding us that every mystery begins not in chaos, but in silence.

Let this classic tale invite you to rest in the rhythm of curiosity and calm.
