Summary "At the Villa Rose" by A. E. W. Mason is a murder mystery novel set during the late 19th century. The story revolves around Mr. Julius Ricardo, a wealthy widower who travels to Aix-les-Bains for leisure but finds himself embroiled in a sinister crime when the wealthy Mme. Camille Dauvray is murdered at her villa. As Ricardo navigates through the intrigue of high society, he becomes entangled with the young and beautiful Celia Harland, whose fate intertwines with the dark mystery surrounding the murder. At the start of the novel, Mr. Ricardo is introduced as a man enjoying his summer retreat at Aix-les-Bains, where he mingles at the local baccarat tables and observes the nuanced lives of the people around him. One fateful night, he witnesses the anxious and beautiful Celia Harland before the news breaks of the shocking murder of Mme. Dauvray, for which Celia quickly becomes a prime suspect. The opening establishes a tone of mystery through Ricardo’s observations and budding curiosity about Celia, setting the stage for a deeper investigation led by the detective M. Hanaud. The stage is further complicated by the backstories of the characters and the dynamics of crime, wealth, and intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
