Summary "The Viaduct Murder" by Ronald Arbuthnott Knox is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the investigation of a man's death at a golf course near the Paston Oatvile Dormy-house, intertwining themes of deception and identity as characters explore the circumstances surrounding the deceased. Central to the narrative are Mordaunt Reeves and Alexander Gordon, who embark on a journey of amateur sleuthing to unravel the truth behind the murder. The opening of "The Viaduct Murder" establishes a rich setting with a blend of dark humor and keen observations about the characters involved. It introduces the environment around the Paston Oatvile Dormy-house, hinting at a higher social status juxtaposed with decay, and presents the protagonists as they discover a body near the viaduct after a golf game. The early dialogue among the characters sets the tone for their unique personalities and reflects their views on crime and detective work, all while teasing various plot threads that will develop throughout the story as they seek to uncover not only the truth behind the murder but also the identity of the victim.
