Summary: "The Three Strings" by Natalie Sumner Lincoln is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Evelyn Preston, who experiences a shocking discovery of a dead man in her home—a mystery that becomes complicated by various interactions with her family, friends, and the authorities. The novel unfolds in a tightly woven narrative that invites readers to unravel the circumstances surrounding the dead man's identity and the events leading up to that fateful moment. At the start of the narrative, Evelyn returns home after a long journey, only to find that the house is devoid of servants and the air is thick with an unsettling quiet. After a series of mundane actions to settle in, she stumbles upon a dead man in the library, triggering panic and confusion. As Evelyn encounters the housekeeper, Dr. Hayden, and eventually the coroner, the gravity of the situation escalates. They soon realize that Evelyn may have inadvertently been part of an unfolding mystery that entwines several key characters, including Dan Maynard and her step-father, Peter Burnham, each with their own secrets, creating a rich backdrop for exploration of motives and relationships.
