Summary "As a Thief in the Night" by R. Austin Freeman is a murder mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the suspicious death of Harold Monkhouse, a chronic invalid, and the ensuing inquest that unravels the circumstances leading to his demise. Key characters include the Reverend Amos Monkhouse, Harold’s concerned brother; Barbara Monkhouse, Harold’s seemingly neglectful wife; and various household members who reveal secrets as the investigation unfolds. The opening of the book introduces the reader to a tense atmosphere as the narrator reflects on the events surrounding Harold Monkhouse's illness and death. The arrival of Reverend Amos, who is shocked by his brother's deteriorating condition, prompts him to seek a second medical opinion, leading to an examination that raises alarm about Harold's health. As they consult Dr. Dimsdale and later Sir Robert Detling, it becomes evident that the medical community is puzzled by the unclear diagnosis. The narrative foreshadows a deeper mystery involving potential foul play, setting the stage for the complicated inquiries and personal relationships that will be scrutinized during the inquest into Harold's death.
