"The Mystery of Angelina Frood" by R. Austin Freeman is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Dr. Strangeways, a young medical practitioner, who becomes drawn into a web of intrigue and suspense when he is called to tend to a woman under mysterious circumstances. The novel appears to blend elements of crime, suspense, and character drama, particularly focused on the titular character, Angelina Frood, and her troubled marriage. The opening of the book follows Dr. Strangeways as he takes over a medical practice in London and receives a late-night call to treat a woman known as "Mrs. Johnson," who is suffering from shock and a suspicious injury—a bruise on her neck that calls into question whether it was self-inflicted or the result of violence. Strangeways finds himself enmeshed in the secrets surrounding this woman, who is later revealed as Angelina Frood, and her drug-addicted, unstable husband. As he moves to a small practice in Rochester, he again encounters the husband, and through a series of interactions—including an honest conversation with Angelina—he learns about her history, her husband's dangerous tendencies, and the ongoing risks she faces. The narrative sets up a complex mystery that intertwines personal drama, social issues like addiction, and the looming threat of violence, establishing both the characters and the stakes for the unfolding investigation.
