| Summary | "The North Shore Mystery" by Henry Fletcher is a detective novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative opens with a shocking crime: a well-known sportsman, Alexander Booth, is found murdered in his bed, raising questions about how such an act could be committed in a locked room. The story introduces several characters, including the seemingly troubled Mrs. Booth, her husband’s friends, and the curious constable Hobbs, all of whom become entangled in the unfolding mystery. The opening of the book sets the stage with an intense atmosphere surrounding Booth's death, as the news of his murder stirs the public and draws immediate attention from both police and media. Mrs. Booth's fainting spell adds layers of suspicion and drama, suggesting potential guilt or trauma. Meanwhile, Constable Hobbs, a police officer struggling to prove himself, begins to investigate the case, pondering the implications of a locked room and a missing safe's contents. As rumors and theories swirl regarding who could have committed the murder and the possible connections to a simultaneous robbery, the narrative promises a gripping exploration of crime, character motivations, and the quest for truth.
