About this book
Bored by leases and repairs, the lady of Thorpe turns her attention to the estate agent who seems so content with his settled life. Their conversation brings the picturesque village into focus: rents, tenants, inherited privileges and the distance between a landowner and the people whose work supports her estate. E. Phillips Oppenheim begins this mystery novel with an uneasy contrast between worldly restlessness and rural certainty.
Later, a report from Paris touches on a past acquaintance that Wilhelmina is reluctant to discuss. Gilbert Deyes offers his help, while her letter to Stephen Hurd raises fresh doubts about the whereabouts of a man linked to his father’s death. These glimpses place private memories beside unresolved questions. Readers interested in mysteries shaped by social rank and guarded conversations will find a story in which ordinary business and polite exchanges carry pressure beneath the surface.
