Summary: "The House Without a Key" by Earl Derr Biggers is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set primarily in Honolulu and introduces readers to the character of Miss Minerva Winterslip, a Bostonian who finds herself captivated by the beauty of the Hawaiian islands. As she navigates her unexpected extended stay in Hawaii, themes of familial tension and the allure of a simpler, more liberated way of life emerge, piquing the reader's curiosity about her adventures and the people she encounters. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Miss Minerva Winterslip, who has been in Hawaii for ten months longer than she intended, caught up in the island's beauty and allure. She interacts with her brother Amos, who appears to hold grudges against another brother, Dan, creating familial tension. As she embraces her surroundings, she is also confronted with complications from her family back home. The narrative incorporates rich descriptions of the Hawaiian scenery, while setting the stage for a deeper exploration of relationships and the characters' pasts, including a mysterious, pivotal figure connected to past sins of the Winterslip family. The opening chapters establish a multifaceted backdrop for the unfolding mystery and family drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
