| Summary | "Penny Nichols and the Black Imp" by Joan Clark is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young amateur sleuth, Penelope "Penny" Nichols, and her friend Susan Altman as they navigate an art world intrigue involving a stolen Rembrandt painting and a sculptor named Amy Coulter, who is accused of theft after her contest entry doesn't win a prize. The plot intertwines art, competition, and elements of suspense, keeping readers engaged with Penny’s adventurous spirit and deductive reasoning. The opening of the book introduces Penny and Susan rushing to an art exhibition where a prestigious prize is to be awarded. On the way, a minor car accident leads them to encounter a hostile driver named Hanley Cron, who is later revealed to be the judge of the art contest. When the prize statue, the "Black Imp," does not win, the young sculptress Amy is devastated, especially when a valuable painting is reported stolen from the gallery right after her departure. As the police link her with the theft due to suspicious circumstances, Penny takes it upon herself to investigate, setting the stage for a mystery filled with unexpected twists and character interactions that promise to captivate readers.
