Summary "The Crooked House" by Brandon Fleming is a novel written in the early 20th century. It offers a mysterious and darkly intriguing narrative that revolves around a central crime, set within the unusual confines of a bizarre and twisted house belonging to the eccentric George Copplestone. The plot unfolds as various characters, including John Tranter and the enigmatic Monsieur DuPont, navigate a web of societal functions and hidden secrets in their search for answers about the violent events that transpire. The opening of the novel introduces us to a few key characters and sets the stage for the tangled plot that follows. The story begins with John Tranter encountering Monsieur Dupont, who is on a mission related to a strange riddle. Tranter agrees to bring Dupont to a gathering at Copplestone’s peculiar home. As the evening progresses, we learn about Copplestone’s penchant for eccentricity and the intricate relationships among the guests. Tensions rise dramatically when the beautiful Christine Manderson is revealed to be engaged to Copplestone, and soon after, a shocking incident occurs, leaving Christine tragically murdered. The tension and uncertainty created by the opening scenes hint at a complex interplay of motives and desires, drawing the reader into a gripping mystery where every character may play a critical role in uncovering the truth.
