Originally published in 1923, The Mystery of Lynne Court by J.S. Fletcher is a gripping mystery novel filled with suspense, intrigue, and classic British mystery charm.
Returning home late in the evening, Dr. Hextall is summoned to an "accidental" shooting in a nearby house. He arrives to find a beautiful woman (Paquita) holding a revolver on a group of men over a dispute during a card game. When one of the men from the card game is later found murdered on the grounds of the Tress estate (Lynne Court), suspicion falls on Paquita, and Dr. Hextall enlists the aid of his lawyer friend, John Smith to uncover the mysterious circumstances surrounding the murder and hopefully clear Paquita's name.
As the narrative unfolds, it hints at complicated relationships and unsettling dynamics among a group of individuals, including Paquita's brother and a mysterious acquaintance named Kesteven. As the astute detective unravels a tangled web of deception, hidden identities, and long-buried grudges, the truth proves more shocking than anyone could have imagined.
With Fletcher's signature twists and meticulous plotting, this novel keeps readers guessing until the very last page. Perfect for fans of Golden Age detective fiction and atmospheric whodunits, The Mystery of Lynne Court is a must-read for lovers of classic crime stories.
