Shadow of the Rope (Version 2)

E. W. Hornung

Published in the early 20th century, 'Shadow of the Rope' by E.W. Hornung follows Rachel Minchin, who, on the morning of her planned return to Australia, becomes a widow and finds herself entangled in a police investigation. Hornung, known for his Raffles stories, incorporates themes of crime and societal issues, though his work has been criticized for casual racism, which may be off-putting to some readers. This novel reflects the complexities of human relationships and moral dilemmas in a changing world.
