Deep Lake, in Wisconsin, had a curious and sinister charm. By day it was a charming resort for summer visitors, but by night its character took on sinister depth like the swirl of its own waters.
Imagine, if you will, a murder committed in a sealed room. A room which has been sealed from the inside, that is, with no possible means of exit, excepting a dangerous plunge through a window into a deep, foreboding lake with swirling eddies and rocks abound.
Add to that image a wreath of flowers around the head and across the chest of the victim, a crucifix, an orange, a feather scarf tucked in here and there, two crackers, a handkerchief, and a feather duster. And a nail.
Oh, and one more item to add to the curious array of arranged paraphenalia - a watch in a water pitcher by the bedside.
Now place yourself in a position to solve the mystery behind this obvious murder of a wealthy man who was liked by everyone, and had no known enemies.
Deep Lake Mystery was first published in 1928. E-Book: ePUB, 67,500 words, average reading time 5 hours, 40 min. Unabridged full version. Also available as audiobook read by Roger Melin, running time 8 hours, 29 min.
