| Summary |
"The Case with Nine Solutions" by J. J. Connington is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story features Dr. Ringwood, a medical professional who inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a murder mystery after being called to an emergency. As the narrative unfolds, he must navigate through fog, misunderstood identities, and ultimately a series of tragic events tied to a young man's death. The opening of the novel introduces Dr. Ringwood, who is exhausted from tending to patients during a flu epidemic. After receiving a late night call to assist a sick maid, he mixes up the addresses and unwittingly enters the neighboring house, Ivy Lodge, where he discovers the body of Ronald Hassendean, who has been shot. As Dr. Ringwood examines the scene, he contemplates the implications of the tragedy and decides to notify the local Chief Constable, Sir Clinton Driffield, to solve the mystery of what really happened and who is responsible for the young man's demise. The atmosphere is tense as the fog offers a sense of isolation, setting the stage for an intricate murder investigation where details are crucial for uncovering the truth.
