N2  - "The Mystery at Dark Cedars" by Edith Lavell is a juvenile detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Mary Louise Gay, a spirited sixteen-year-old girl detective, and her friend Jane Patterson, who find themselves embroiled in a mystery involving a robbery at the eerie estate of Miss Mattie Grant. As they navigate the peculiar circumstances surrounding Miss Grant’s home and its inhabitants, the duo is determined to uncover the truth while also helping a neglected niece, Elsie, who is unjustly suspected of theft.  At the start of the narrative, Mary Louise and Jane rescue a kitten from a tree, which leads them to the sinister confines of the Grant residence, rumored to be haunted. Through their visit, they learn about a robbery involving stolen money from Miss Grant's safe, with suspicion falling on her niece, Elsie. As the girls dig deeper into the family dynamics and secrets surrounding the case, they encounter various characters, including Elsie's selfish relatives. The opening chapters set the stage for their budding detective work, highlighting their determination to clear Elsie's name and solve the mystery while offering a glimpse of the atmospheric world that Lavell has crafted.
