The mystery of Angelina Frood
A young doctor minding a London practice is fetched at midnight to a woman who has been struck by her drug-addicted husband. Months later he meets her again in Rochester, where she is living under her own name, Angelina Frood, until one night she walks out and does not come back. A dredged-up glove, a cheap boarding house and the ancient walls of the cathedral city furnish the clues, and John Thorndyke is called in to read them. R. Austin Freeman published the novel in 1924, and its setting and its heroine's name are a deliberate nod to Dickens's unfinished Edwin Drood, whose problem Freeman wanted to solve in his own way. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
