| Summary | "The Disappearance of Kimball Webb" by Rowland Wright is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the mysterious vanishing of Kimball Webb, a New York playwright, on the day he was supposed to marry Elsie Powell. The narrative delves into his family dynamics, particularly the complex relationships with his mother and sister, who seem to hold contempt for Elsie, adding layers to the enigma of his disappearance. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Kimball Webb, who seems to lead an ordinary life, on the brink of his wedding. However, on the morning of the big day, his absence sparks concern, leading to the revelation that he is missing under inexplicable circumstances. Despite evidence pointing to the door of his room being locked from the inside, no one can ascertain how he exited without anyone seeing. As his family and Elsie grapple with the mystery, the opening chapters set up a tense atmosphere filled with suspicion, particularly surrounding the disapproving women in his life, hinting at possible motives and leading to a captivating web of intrigue.
