"Mystery at Lynden Sands" by J. J. Connington is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with the conversation between Paul and his sister Jay Fordingbridge while they stay at a hotel near their family's estate, Foxhills. The narrative sets up initial family tensions and introduces the notion of a missing family member, Derek, which hints at deeper connections and mysteries intertwining with the characters. At the start of the book, Paul and Jay Fordingbridge engage in a lively debate about their current situation at the hotel instead of their family home, Foxhills. While Jay expresses her frustration about the hotel and concerns over their absent family member, Paul remains practical about managing their inherited estate and the implications of Derek's disappearance. The plot thickens with the news of the caretaker's sudden death at Foxhills, which raises suspicion due to unexplained marks on his wrists and inconsistencies surrounding his passing. With Detective Sir Clinton Driffield introduced later, the first chapter lays the groundwork for a complex unraveling of secrets, relationships, and potentially sinister motives related to the family's history.
