| Summary | "Cynthia Wakeham's Money" by Anna Katharine Green is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the peculiar circumstances of Cynthia Wakeham, who is on her deathbed, and the ensuing mystery regarding her will. The narrative introduces several characters, including Frank Etheridge, a lawyer drawn into the unfolding drama surrounding Cynthia's decision about her estate, and Edgar Sellick, a returning physician with his own past links to the town." "The beginning of the novel establishes a mysterious tone as Frank Etheridge arrives in Marston, where he soon learns about Cynthia Wakeham's delicate situation. He encounters Edgar Sellick, who hints at the intriguing lives of Cynthia and her possibly disfigured sister, Hermione Cavanagh. The two young men share a sense of curiosity regarding the local inhabitants and uncover hints of past trauma connected to the sisters while heading to the tavern for supper, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of family secrets, inheritance disputes, and the complexities of human emotions as the story unfolds."
