Summary "Master Tales of Mystery, Volume 3" by Francis J. Reynolds is a collection of mystery stories likely written in the early 20th century. This volume features various intriguing narratives that delve into crimes, investigations, and the detective's meticulous unraveling of complex puzzles. Central to the stories is the masterful blending of suspenseful plots and sudden twists, each leading readers through a labyrinth of clues and red herrings. The beginning of this volume introduces readers to "The Poisoned Pen" by Arthur B. Reeve, where the famous detective Craig Kennedy is enlisted to investigate the poisoning of a young actress named Vera Lytton. As Kennedy and his companion Walter delve into the details surrounding Lytton's death, a convoluted web of relationships comes to light, including her connection to her former husband and her current fiancé, Dr. Dixon. Amidst the mounting evidence and intriguing developments, the plot thickens with another suspect introduced, hinting at deeper motives entwined within the serene facade of the town of Danbridge, setting the stage for an intricate examination of guilt, innocence, and societal intrigue.
