| Summary | "The Loudwater Mystery" by Edgar Jepson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a stately manor and revolves around the lives of Lord and Lady Loudwater, whose tumultuous marriage is characterized by conflict and tension. The narrative hints at themes of betrayal and class dynamics, particularly as Lady Loudwater's affections appear to drift toward a Colonel Grey, setting the stage for intrigue. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the distressed and increasingly detached Lady Loudwater, who is disillusioned by her husband's temperamental nature. After a particularly unpleasant breakfast marked by Lord Loudwater's furious outburst towards her and the cat, Melchisidec, Lady Loudwater reflects on her growing resentment towards her husband and her infatuation with Colonel Grey. Meanwhile, Lord Loudwater's volatile personality is on full display, especially in his interactions with his staff and his secretary, Mr. Manley, revealing underlying tensions that suggest societal and personal conflicts. As the opening unfolds, it sets up a narrative marked by emotional strife and foreshadows the darker events to come, hinting at possible murder and mystery that will ensue.
