520 _a"In the Night" by R. Gorell Barnes is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a quaint English village, bringing into focus the tragic murder of Sir Roger Penterton, a figure cloaked in unpopularity and abruptness. The plot engages a cast of characters including Inspector Humblethorne, who is tasked with unraveling the circumstances surrounding the crime, and Philip Castle, the disturbed secretary whose complex relationship with his employer becomes pivotal to the investigation. At the start of the novel, the setting is established in the quiet village near Salting Towers, where the unexpected murder sets the stage for intrigue and suspicion. The narrative introduces Inspector Humblethorne as he begins his holiday only to be drawn into the investigation of Sir Roger's violent death. Another central character, Philip Castle, is revealed to have had a contentious relationship with Sir Roger, hinting at underlying tensions that may provide motive for the crime. As villagers react to the shocking news, the opening builds suspense and lays the groundwork for the detective story to unfold, inviting readers to delve into the relationships and mysteries that will be explored throughout the unfolding tale.
