Summary "The Curse of the Reckaviles" by Walter S. Masterman is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story intertwines the themes of mystery and suspense, centering on the sudden death of Lord Reckavile and the rumors surrounding a family curse. The main character, Jack Sefton, is a medical student who, while dealing with personal difficulties after his father's passing, becomes embroiled in the investigation of the murder and the eerie events linked to Reckavile Castle. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a vibrant rugby match attended by the crowd, where Sefton shines as a player. However, the celebratory atmosphere shifts dramatically when Sefton receives devastating news about his father's imminent death, igniting feelings of loss and responsibility. As Sefton returns home, he discovers the dire financial state left behind by his father, compelling him and his sister Ena to relocate to the coastal town of Portham-on-Sea. Here, they encounter mysterious figures and unsettling rumors regarding a recent murder linked to Reckavile Castle, setting the tone for a thrilling investigation that delves into the past and the secrets of the Reckavile family.
