(Ferguson Wright) The Lone Inn: A Mystery Produced by Charles Bowen from page scans provided from the Web Archive (Library of Congress: City of Washington) "The Lone Inn: A Mystery" by Fergus Hume is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in a mysterious and foreboding inn, where the protagonist, Denham, finds himself as he seeks refuge after a long day of walking. Within the inn, he encounters a series of unsettling events and complex relationships involving Francis and Felix Briarfield, twin brothers entangled in a romantic rivalry and a potential murder mystery. The tone hints at themes of deception, identity, and the sinister undertones of human relationships. At the start of the book, Denham arrives at the Fen Inn, wary of its sinister appearance. He is soon met by a beautiful yet ambiguous woman named Rose and her father, the innkeeper, who share an air of mystery. Denham is eager to find a bed for the night but quickly learns that the inn is supposedly full. After a surprising reunion with his college friend Francis Briarfield, Denham discovers troubling hints about the complicated dynamics between Francis and his brother Felix, especially concerning their mutual affection for a woman named Olivia. The tension escalates as Denham senses there is more to the story, especially when he learns of Francis’s mysterious appointment and the inevitable confrontation with his brother, who is alluded to as a darker character in a brewing conspiracy. The atmosphere is steeped in suspense, and readers are left questioning the true nature of the characters and the fate that awaits them. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
