Summary "The Mystery at Lovers' Cave" by Anthony Berkeley is a mystery novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two cousins, Roger Sheringham and Anthony Walton, who embark on an unexpected trip to Ludmouth after Roger is called to cover a suspicious death for the "Daily Courier". The narrative blends clever wit and engaging character dynamics as they delve into the circumstances surrounding the death of a woman named Mrs. Vane, who tragically fell off a cliff. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to Roger and Anthony through their lively breakfast conversation, which establishes their contrasting personalities—Roger, the sharp-witted journalist, and Anthony, the more laid-back and physically inclined cousin. Following a sudden change of plans, Roger hastily departs for a possible murder investigation in Hampshire, while Anthony reluctantly accepts his own separate holiday in Derbyshire. However, when Anthony learns of the mysterious circumstances surrounding Mrs. Vane's death, he finds himself drawn into the intrigue. The unfolding narrative introduces themes of friendship, clever banter, and the complexities of human motives, as the characters navigate the unfamiliar territory of crime and investigation.
