Summary "The Herapath Property" by J. S. Fletcher is a mystery novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Jacob Herapath, a wealthy and particular Member of Parliament who has mysteriously disappeared, which sparks a police investigation filled with intrigue and suspicion. The main characters include Selwood, Herapath's secretary, Peggie Wynne, his devoted niece, and Mr. Tertius, a close associate who seems to hold secrets about Herapath's life and death. The opening of the novel establishes a tense mystery as Selwood is abruptly called to Herapath’s home early in the morning to learn of his employer's unexpected absence. The narrative unfolds through his interactions with the household staff, leading to the discovery that Herapath was last seen returning home after a night at the House of Commons, yet he is unaccounted for, and his room shows suspicious signs. As suspense builds, Selwood discovers that Herapath has indeed been found dead, raising questions of suicide or murder. The juxtaposition of his movements creates a compelling enigma, setting the stage for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Herapath's untimely death.
