Summary "Murder at Large" by Lesley Frost is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Ordway Belknap, an ex-Judge turned amateur detective, who finds himself embroiled in ominous circumstances filled with intrigue and potential murder. As events unfold, the tensions between characters unveil secrets and motives that complicate their relationships, setting the stage for a gripping narrative." "The opening of the book introduces Ordway Belknap, who is portrayed as both a solitary figure and a man of experience, having transitioned from the judicial bench to detective work due to his frustrations with the legal system. As he awaits a call from his enigmatic colleague, Bertrand Whittaker, Belknap reflects on previous criminal cases he successfully solved. Recognizing Whittaker's dangerous personality adds a layer of unease to Belknap's anticipation. His curiosity leads him to accept an invitation to Whittaker's Long Island mansion for what is implied to be a high-stakes weekend filled with criminals and possibly a planned murder, a situation that promises to test Belknap's skills as he navigates the gathering's underlying tensions and unspoken threats."
