Summary "Kastle Krags: A Story of Mystery" by Absalom Martin is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the setting of the Ochakee River and its surrounding landscape, characterized by lush, yet dark and foreboding woods. The narrative introduces the main character, Ned Killdare, a naturalist who is approached by Edith Nealman, secretary to Grover Nealman, the owner of Kastle Krags, who asks him to guide a hunting party. As Killdare becomes embroiled in the lives of Nealman and his guests, a murder occurs, setting off a series of events that explore the eerie atmosphere surrounding the estate. At the start of the novel, the lush yet shadowy description of the Ochakee River and its surroundings sets a tone of lurking mystery. Killdare's solitary life as a naturalist is interrupted when he encounters Edith, who brings him an employment opportunity from her uncle, Grover Nealman. Their interaction is marked by a burgeoning connection, and despite Killdare’s reservations about the clientele that might accompany the hunting party, he accepts the job. However, after a celebratory evening with Nealman's wealthy guests, a horrifying scream pierces the night, leading them to discover the body of Florey, the butler. This shocking event propels the narrative into a tense investigation filled with intrigue and suspense, against the backdrop of the haunting Kastle Krags.
