"Death to the Inquisitive! A Story of Sinful Love" by Lurana W. Sheldon is a novel written in the late 19th century.

The central character, Elizabeth Merril, begins her tumultuous journey from a promising background to a life of despair, hinting at intense emotional struggles entangled with her romantic and familial relationships. The opening of this novel sets a dark and foreboding tone, as it introduces a tragedy in the murky alleys of Whitechapel where a woman known as "Queen Liz" is found mortally wounded. This scene precipitates a series of events highlighting the cruelty of her environment and the characters that roam it, creating a backdrop of despair and vice. As the narrative unfolds, Elizabeth is depicted caught in a tumult of emotions, hinted at through her interactions with the male figures in her life, including a young lodger and a man with mysterious intentions.
