Summary "The Sheridan Road Mystery" by Paul Thorne and Mabel Thorne is a detective novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story begins with an atmospheric and suspenseful crime scene, where the protagonist, Detective Sergeant Murphy, is drawn into a potential murder investigation initiated by a gunshot heard in an apartment building. The early chapters introduce intriguing characters, including a suspicious tenant named Marsh and Detective Sergeant Morgan, who eventually takes the lead in unraveling the mystery surrounding the empty apartment and a possible crime involving counterfeit money. The opening of the novel sets a tense and engaging tone, with Policeman Murphy's nighttime patrol leading him to a scene of chaos and uncertainty. After hearing sounds of a struggle followed by a gunshot, he meets Marsh, a resident of the building who expresses concern about a likely murder occurring in the flat above. As police investigations unfold, Murphy's initial suspicions are further complicated by Marsh's mysterious demeanor and motives. The narrative shifts focus to Detective Morgan, who begins digging deeper into both the crime scene and the relationships between the building's tenants, particularly the potentially intertwined lives of the Marshes and the Atwoods, leading to the thrilling premise of secrets and deceptions lurking beneath the surface.
