Agatha'S Aunt

By Harriet Lummis Smith

Book Overview

A sharp whisper of mystery and a comforting firelight of family life meet in Agatha's Aunt, a tale that threads victorian fiction with the slow, surprising drama of inheritance and loyalty. A cosy, intricate mystery for readers who crave atmosphere as much as motive. Harriet L. Smith's antique short stories unfold in victorian england with London streets and drawing-room corridors that hum with social norms, whispered rumours, and the gentle dread of secrets kept. The collection moves with a quiet ardour-plotting around family secrets, consent and contrivance, and the stubborn pull of kinship-while honouring the gothic mystery tradition that shaped edwardian era crime fiction. This is more than a read; it is a doorway into a world where manners mask motive and where the heart questions what a legacy truly means. For casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike, the book offers the warmth of comfort-reading and the spark of literary significance. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint-a collector's item and a cultural treasure- Agatha's Aunt invites you to rediscover a gem of classic british fiction, a perfect gift for readers who prize intricate plots, evocative settings, and the enduring pull of a good mystery.
