| Summary | "Great Porter Square: A Mystery" by B. L. Farjeon is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the unsettling events following a murder in a lodging house at No. 119 Great Porter Square, which deeply impacts the life of Mrs. James Preedy, the proprietor of the neighboring lodging house at No. 118. As the mystery unfolds, readers encounter a variety of characters, including the accused breath of intrigue, Antony Cowlrick, whose life becomes intertwined with the tragic events. The opening of the novel introduces Mrs. Preedy, a widow who manages her lodgings with a mix of perseverance and fear amid personal and financial troubles. Late at night, she is haunted by the news of a murder committed in the adjacent house, where a stranger was killed under mysterious circumstances. As she navigates her anxiety and the police's investigation, the narrative hints at the complexity of her social environment populated by a diverse cast of lodgers and the ominous atmosphere that pervades her life. With layers of social commentary and character introspection, this tale sets the stage for an escalating mystery that promises to engage readers with its suspense and poignant reflections on human nature.
