Summary "The Yellow Streak" by Valentine Williams is a mystery novel likely written in the early 20th century. Set in an English country house, the story revolves around the sudden death of Hartley Parrish, a wealthy entrepreneur, who is found shot in his library. The narrative introduces us to several key characters, including Robin Greve, who has a complicated emotional connection with Mary Trevert, a young woman betrothed to Parrish. The opening of the book establishes an atmosphere of tension and intrigue, as we witness the details leading up to Parrish's death. It begins with a portrayal of his butler, Bude, who takes pride in his service at the estate, and gradually shifts to a developing romantic subplot involving Robin Greve and Mary Trevert. Their dynamics are complicated by Mary’s engagement to the wealthy Parrish. As the events unfold, Mary hears a shot coming from the library, triggering a chaotic response from the household which leads to the revelation of Parrish's lifeless body. This twist sets the stage for a deeper investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death, raising questions about motives and secrets that will likely unravel throughout the story.
