The Hampstead Mystery by John R. Watson and Arthur J. Rees
"The Hampstead Mystery" by John R. Watson and Arthur J. Rees is a detective novel written during the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of a gruesome murder in Hampstead, the narrative follows Detective-Inspector Chippenfield from Scotland Yard as he investigates the shocking death of High Court Judge Sir Horace Fewbanks, who has been mysteriously murdered in his own home. The opening of the book introduces the immediate aftermath of Sir
Horace's murder, beginning with a frantic phone call to the Hampstead Police Station, alerting officials to the crime. Detective-Inspector Chippenfield urgently requests assistance as he learns that the judge, initially thought to be in Scotland, has seemingly returned to his house, only to turn up dead. Inspector Seldon, upon arriving at the crime scene, discovers the body beneath disturbing circumstances, igniting a series of inquiries into the motive and the identity of the murderer. As the investigation unfolds, it hints at deeper complexities and entanglements within Sir Horace's life, setting the stage for a tantalizing mystery filled with twists and turns.
