The night of his grandfather's mysterious death at the Cedars, Bobby Blackburn was, at least until midnight, in New York. He was held there by the unhealthy habits and companionships which recently had angered his grandfather to the point of threatening a disciplinary change in his will. As a consequence he drifted into that strange adventure which later was to surround him with dark shadows and overwhelming doubts.Before following Bobby through his black experience, however, it is better to know what happened at the Cedars where his cousin, Katherine Perrine was, except for the servants, alone with old Silas Blackburn who seemed apprehensive of some sly approach of disaster.At twenty Katherine was too young, too light-hearted for this care of her uncle in which she had persisted as an antidote for Bobby's shortcomings. She was never in harmony with the mouldy house or its surroundings, bleak, deserted, unfriendly to content.

Kennedy questions a number of suspects, including Cunningham's wife, business associates, and former colleagues, with the aid of his journalist buddy Walter Jameson. As the inquiry goes on, the investigator unearths a complex network of lies, secrets, and covert intentions that point him in the direction of the killer. The Abandoned Room is based on mystery genre and the scientific detective subgenre, which uses technology and scientific ideas in investigative work, are both well represented. The book is renowned for its complex plot, intelligent writing, and interesting characters. Ultimately, The Abandoned Room is a great piece of detective fiction and a gripping and intriguing mystery that has endured the test of time.
