Brian Raiter "The Mystery of the Peacock's Eye" by Brian Flynn is a mystery novel written in the late 1920s. The story begins at a glamorous social event, the Hunt Ball at Westhampton, which is set against a backdrop of class distinctions and a recent banking scandal that casts shadows over the county's elite. Central characters include major players in this society, such as the enigmatic Mr. X and the charming Sheila Delaney, whose interactions hint at personal intrigues that intersect with a murder mystery that unfolds. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the opulence of the Hunt Ball and the tension simmering beneath its surface due to the scandal of Sir Felix Warburton's arrest. The narrative quickly shifts to Mr. Bathurst, a detective, who receives a mysterious letter calling him to meet a gentleman concerning a matter of "urgent and peculiar importance."
