"Tracks in the Snow: Being the History of a Crime" edited from the manuscript of the Rev. Robert Driver, B.D. by Godfrey R. Benson is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the late 19th century, the story revolves around the mysterious murder of Eustace Peters, a retired official, in his own home. The narrative is deeply intertwined with the life of the rector, who finds himself drawn into the investigation and the complexities surrounding his friend’s untimely death. The opening of "Tracks in the Snow" introduces the chilling scene of Eustace Peters found murdered in his bed at Grenvile Combe. The rector, who had formed a close bond with Peters after moving to Long Wilton, feels the heavy weight of loss and is compelled to recount the events that led to this tragedy. As he describes his last night with Peters, the narrative unfolds the atmosphere of camaraderie and foreshadows the subsequent investigation. Various characters emerge, including Peters' acquaintances and those who were present the night before his death, each contributing to the murky circumstances of the crime. The rector grapples with his role in the investigation, while hints of deceit and hidden motives start to weave a complex web surrounding the murder, setting the stage for a multifaceted mystery.
