| Summary | "The New Tenant" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around the estate of Thurwell Court, highlighting the lives of its inhabitants, particularly that of Helen Thurwell and her father, Guy Thurwell, as they prepare for a significant change with the return of the mysterious Sir Geoffrey Kynaston. The narrative hints at underlying tensions, intrigue, and the arrival of Bernard Brown, a new tenant at Falcon's Nest, who may have connections to dark events linking back to Kynaston himself. At the start of the book, the serene atmosphere of the early morning at Thurwell Court is described, before the introduction of the characters, including Helen and her father. Their discussion reveals their mundane social life and anticipation for Kynaston’s return, stirring a mix of curiosity and caution. The excitement quickly shifts to horror with the discovery of Kynaston’s subsequent murder, setting the stage for suspense and investigations that will follow. Helen's determination and complexities of relationships begin to grip the reader as new dynamics are introduced, particularly surrounding the enigmatic Brown and the implications of his arrival.
