Publisher's Synopsis
The Case Of The Lamp That Went Out is a mystery novel written by Grace Isabel Colbron. The story revolves around the murder of a wealthy businessman named Henry Wallingford, who is found dead in his study with a gunshot wound. The police suspect his wife, who has a motive for the murder, but she claims to have been in another part of the house at the time of the crime.The investigation is taken up by amateur detective Mr. Carrington, who is convinced of the wife's innocence. He begins to unravel the mystery, which leads him to a series of clues that suggest a different culprit altogether. As he delves deeper into the case, he discovers that the murder is linked to a long-standing family feud, and that the motive for the crime is more complex than he initially thought.The novel is set in early 20th century America, and is characterized by its intricate plot, well-drawn characters, and vivid descriptions of the era. The Case Of The Lamp That Went Out is a classic whodunit that will keep readers guessing until the very end.A naturally retiring, modest disposition, and two external causes are the reasons for Muller's humbleness of manner, which is his chief characteristic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
