"The Mystery of a Turkish Bath" by Rita is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set in a luxurious hotel in England, where a group of women frequents a Turkish bath for health treatments. The story introduces the beautiful Princess Zairoff, whose arrival stirs intrigue amongst the guests and unveils a deeper mystery involving her occult powers and a past relationship with Colonel Estcourt, a fellow guest. At the start of the book, we find ourselves in the opulent atmosphere of the Turkish baths, where various women discuss their ailments amidst the luxurious décor. Their conversations shift dramatically when the mysterious Princess Zairoff enters, capturing everyone’s attention with her otherworldly beauty. The ladies, particularly the curious American Mrs. Ray Jefferson, become fascinated by the princess, who reveals hints of her troubled past and her connection to the Colonel. This opening sets the stage for a blend of supernatural intrigue and personal drama, as dark secrets and the occult begin to intertwine within the seemingly mundane setting of a health spa.
