| Summary | “The Abandoned Room” by Wadsworth Camp is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the death of Silas Blackburn, an old man who dies mysteriously at his secluded estate, known as the Cedars. As the narrative unfolds, suspicion falls on his grandson, Bobby Blackburn, who is portrayed as a young man with a troubled lifestyle, fearful of becoming penniless due to a change in his grandfather’s will. The opening of the story establishes a tense atmosphere with Katherine, Bobby's cousin, keeping vigil at the Cedars on the night of Silas Blackburn's death. Silas exhibits signs of fear and unrest prior to his demise, hinting at an unseen threat. As Katherine confronts her growing unease, we learn of Bobby's absence and potential conflict between him and his grandfather. The narrative is rich with suspense, as after Silas’s death, a detective named Howells suggests foul play and begins investigating, suggesting that Bobby may be more involved in the mystery than he realizes. This sets the stage for a tangled web of suspicion, family dynamics, and the search for truth in the wake of tragedy. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
