| Summary | "The Brooklyn Murders" by G. D. H. Cole is a fictional murder mystery written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the chaos following the murder of two members of the esteemed Brooklyn family, leading to a complex investigation filled with familial intrigue and hidden motives. Central characters include Sir Vernon Brooklyn, the family patriarch, and his niece Joan Cowper, who becomes embroiled in the aftermath of the tragedies. The opening of "The Brooklyn Murders" introduces a celebratory dinner for Sir Vernon's seventieth birthday, attended by his relatives and friends. Amidst the festivities, tension simmers regarding Joan's engagement to John Prinsep, which she vehemently opposes. Following the celebration, the scene shifts dramatically with the discovery of John Prinsep's body, who has been murdered in his study. Shortly thereafter, George Brooklyn, another family member, is also found dead in the garden. Joan's shock and confusion set the tone for the unfolding mystery as the police start their investigation, revealing an intricate web of relationships and secrets within the Brooklyn family.
