"A Chain of Evidence" by Carolyn Wells is a murder mystery novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows Otis Landon, a lawyer and bachelor who becomes embroiled in a complicated situation after the mysterious death of his neighbor, Robert Pembroke. As the narrative unfolds, we meet Janet Pembroke, Robert's niece, who appears to be a key figure in the tragic events surrounding her uncle's demise. At the start of the story, Landon reluctantly acquiesces to his sister Laura's desire to move apartments, ultimately settling into The Hammersleigh, where they encounter the enigmatic Janet Pembroke and her abusive uncle. The opening chapters set the stage for a shocking revelation: shortly after Landon and Laura's arrival, Robert Pembroke is found dead under suspicious circumstances that initially suggest a natural cause but are quickly ruled a murder. As the characters navigate their personal histories and relationships, particularly between Janet and her uncle, layers of intrigue begin to surface, foreshadowing a complex investigation involving potential motives, hidden family dynamics, and unexpected twists.
