Markenmoren salaisuus by J. S. Fletcher
"Markenmoren salaisuus" by J. S. Fletcher is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Markenmore family, particularly their old steward Braxfield, who maintains the family estate while its owners decline in fortune and involvement. The narrative begins with the unexpected return of John Harborough, a character linked to the family's complicated history, suggesting underlying tensions and unresolved mysteries within the family's past, particularly regarding themissing eldest son, Guy Markenmore. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Braxfield, the dedicated steward of the Markenmore estate, who is strict in his duties and protective of the family’s valuables. With characters such as the sickly Sir Anthony Markenmore, his estranged son Guy who has been missing for years, and the return of John Harborough, it is evident that familial secrets and long-buried tensions threaten to resurface. The initial scenes set a somber, suspenseful tone, establishing the setting of the estate and the relationships within the family, while hinting toward larger plot developments involving the mysterious disappearance of Guy and the return of the striking Mrs. Tretheroe, who has her own connections to the past.
