The Shadow Of The Rope is a romantic and mysterious novel written by E.W. Hornung. This is a sensational murder investigation, a delicate romance, love, a satire of Victorian social mores, around-the-world adventures, and much more that can be found in this fast-paced E. W. Hornung's page-turner. When a lady is found not guilty of killing her husband but found guilty in the court of public opinion, the narrative twists happen quickly. The story begins with Rachel Minchin, a woman who married a fascinating stranger named Mr. Steel. Their marriage is by mutual consent to be a platonic one, with the stipulation that neither of them will inquire into the other's background. The two drive to Steel's isolated rural house, where Rachel unintentionally learns that her second husband's past was connected to that of her first husband. Steel won't reveal how, exactly, or why he chose to marry her, though. The story comes to a part where local busybodies threaten to reveal Rachel's personal background as her worries about her spouse grow. And as this intriguing mystery develops, more secrets are revealed, with that being the least of them. How is their secret revealed? Who is killed by whom? Read the book to solve this mysterious and adventurous story!
