(Benjamin Leopold) 1833 1903 Farjeon, Benjamin Leopold Devlin the Barber Produced by Charles Bowen from page scans provided by the Web Archive (University of California Libraries) "Devlin the Barber" by B. L. Farjeon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds around the mysterious events in London that link the main character, who is currently out of work, with a family tragedy involving the brutal murder of a young woman named Lizzie Melladew. The narrative hints at deeper mysteries surrounding the titular character, Devlin, and his potential involvement in these unfolding events. The opening portion introduces us to the everyday struggles of a narrator who has just lost his job, juxtaposed against the backdrop of Mr. Melladew's newfound joy upon receiving a letter from his wealthy brother-in-law, Richard Portland. This joy is starkly contrasted when Mr. Melladew arrives at the narrator's home, distraught as he learns of the shocking murder of his daughter, Lizzie. As news spreads, various characters—like George Carton, who secretly loved Lizzie and has now been plunged into despair—emerge in a web of intertwined lives, all moving towards a pivotal and unresolved mystery that promises to captivate readers.
