| Summary | "The Secret of Wyvern Towers" by T. W. Speight is a mystery novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Felix Drelincourt, who faces tragedy when his wife, Kate, is found murdered in their home, Wyvern Towers. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes apparent that numerous characters, including Felix’s foster brother Roden Marsh and a suspicious gardener named Gumley, become embroiled in a web of intrigue surrounding the crime and Felix’s uncertain fate. The opening of the narrative introduces Felix as he reflects on his troubled past and lost love, Madeline, emphasizing his emotional distress. On a May morning, he is approached by Roden, who delivers the devastating news of his wife's murder, causing Felix to question both the circumstances and the motives behind this horrific act. As they discuss the implications of the crime, elements of intrigue deepen with the discovery of a handkerchief belonging to Felix at the crime scene, raising suspicions against him. Thus, the stage is set for a complex exploration of guilt, innocence, and the nature of justice against a backdrop of personal turmoil and societal expectations.
