"A Case in Camera" by Oliver Onions is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story kicks off with a murder mystery, following a young artist named Philip Esdaile who finds himself entangled in a complex web of events surrounding a tragic accident involving a crashing aeroplane and a fatality. The opening chapters introduce a vibrant breakfast gathering of friends, which is abruptly interrupted by the alarming incident that will lead to unforeseen complications for the characters involved. The beginning of the novel establishes a light-hearted yet intimate atmosphere filled with camaraderie among the characters, only for it to take a dark turn when a parachute unexpectedly lands on Esdaile's studio. As the aftermath unfolds, it becomes clear that Esdaile may be hiding something related to the accident involving two aviators, one of whom is critically injured while the other is deceased. The narrative hints at secrets, potential motives, and the psychological impact this incident will have on Esdaile and his friends, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of themes such as morality, loyalty, and the repercussions of one’s actions.
