Inhaltsangabe

From the book, "There was nothing in that clear, calm day, with its blue sky and its flooding sunshine, to suggest in the slightest degree the awful tragedy so close at hand--that tragedy which so puzzled the authorities and which came so close to wrecking the happiness of several innocent people." Harry and Gerry are friends and also rivals. The object of their affection is one Viola Carwell. ViolaZs father is cool towards Harry, since his family got the best of him in a business deal. The story takes a sinister turn when ViolaZs father dies on the golf course and the cause was poison. Was it suicide due to financial reverses? Or was it murder? The detective Colonel Ashley is called in to assist with the investigation.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The Stratemeyer Syndicate used the collective pseudonym Chester K. Steele for a series of mystery novels that targeted an older audience than their regular publications. Edward Stratemeyer wrote the first installment, "The Mansion of Mystery," while future titles were written by ghostwriters. These mysteries, published under the name Chester K. Steele, deviated from the Syndicate's usual output, which was mostly aimed toward younger readers. Instead, they aimed for a more adult audience, exploring complicated tales and sophisticated plotlines. The choice to utilize a house pseudonym allowed the Syndicate to maintain branding consistency while experimenting with diverse genres and target demographics. Despite the diverse writing, the volumes shared a consistent style and tone, which is representative of the Syndicate's distinctive storytelling. "The Mansion of Mystery" launched the series by introducing readers to the enigmatic detective Chester K. Steele and his investigations into difficult cases. Subsequent installments captivated audiences with their combination of tension, intrigue, and excellent sleuthing. Overall, the Chester K. Steele mysteries offered readers a break from the Syndicate's normal fare, demonstrating its ability to construct intriguing storylines across genres and age groups.
