Features: Mason is a British classic detective novelist, and The Arrow House is his masterpiece. At the beginning of the novel, when a wealthy widow dies in a grand mansion, strange things begin to happen one after another. A relative who fails to extort money ends up accusing the heir, Betty Harlow, of poisoning the old woman. Betty Harlow is "a stylish and beautiful girl with a strange, unknown personality," and after being suspected, she requests a British lawyer to represent her and protect her rights. Upon the lawyer and the detective's arrival at the mansion, many things that seemed clear and simple begin to reveal a complex side, and the people in the house, under the detective's careful inquiries, also reveal various secrets they have been hiding. The murder case gradually moves towards the truth being revealed.
