"The House Opposite: A Mystery" by Elizabeth Kent is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Dr. Charles Fortescue, who becomes embroiled in a perplexing murder investigation after witnessing peculiar events from his rooftop. The narrative captures a sense of intrigue and suspense as Dr. Fortescue grapples with his observations and connects them to the unfolding crime. At the start of the novel, the protagonist, Dr. Fortescue, seeks relief from the oppressive heat of New York City's summer by moving to his rooftop. There, he witnesses a commotion in the neighboring Rosemere apartment building, which leads him to suspect something sinister is occurring. As he observes various characters such as a mysterious woman and a distressed man, his curiosity intensifies. Soon after, he is drawn into the investigation of a murder when he is called to the scene, revealing that the victim is a man found dead in the building under suspicious circumstances. As the story expands, Dr. Fortescue uncovers connections between the dead man and residents of the Rosemere, particularly Mrs. Atkins and the enigmatic Miss May Derwent, heightening the intrigue surrounding the case.
