Romaner
Shortly after Richard Viner complains to his murder-mystery-loving aunt with whom he lives that such fiction couldn't possibly "really represent life," he himself finds a dead body in the lane behind his home. It turns out to be his neighbor, a man in his sixties, recently returned to England from Australia to care for the affairs of his ward, an accomplished young woman not long out of school. The police seem content to regard the crime as motivated by robbery, but Viner and his aunt, like the lawyers who get embroiled in the case, are convinced there is more to it than that. It seems clear that J. S. Fletcher took at least some inspiration for this work from the famous Tichborne case, one of the most celebrated legal mysteries of late nineteenth century England. It involved a contested identity which, if proved, would bring an enormous inheritance and position of privilege. Fletcher puts his own spin on things and constructs yet another intriguing plot line, solved only with the help of his intrepid amateur sleuths. J. S. Fletcher (died 1935) was a major literary figure of the early 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, The Middle Of Things exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.
