Summary "The Mystery of the Fires" by Edith Lavell is a mystery novel written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around Mary Louise Gay, a young girl detective, who, along with her friend Jane Patterson and family, visits the tranquil vacation spot of Shady Nook. However, their peace is disrupted by mysterious fires affecting the local bungalows, including that of their neighbor, leading Mary Louise to investigate the causes and identities behind these incidents. At the start of the novel, Mary Louise quickly learns about the recent fire that has devastated the Hunters' bungalow while the neighborhood was away at a dance. Her curiosity piqued, she expresses her determination to uncover the truth behind the incident. The narrative introduces various characters, including the jovial Mary Louise's brother, Freckles, and the enigmatic Clifford Hunter, as well as hints of suspicion surrounding other residents and newcomers. As they wrestle with apprehension and excitement, the stage is set for an engaging exploration of friendship, community, and the search for justice amidst unsettling mysteries.
