Corpses in the Crooked House

A man named Charles Hayward wants to marry Sophie Leonidas, the eldest granddaughter of the Leonidas family. However, Sophie's grandfather, named Artistide, was murdered. He was upset that his grandfather, that is, his grandfather, was murdered, and they canceled their marriage plans. Sophie doesn't feel ready for marriage as the family's pain is so fresh. They want to investigate the reason for the murder and who did it. Because her grandfather's suspicious death made Sophie uneasy. For this, Charles goes to the three-towered mansion where the Leonidas family lives, with his father, who is the principal, and a police inspector named Taverner. Of course, Charles will both help solve the murder and meet Sophie's family and show that his intentions are serious. It might even possibly change Sophie's thoughts on marriage. Leonidas family; It consists of the widowed young wife of the deceased grandfather, his two sons, their spouses and children, and the grandchildren's aunt. So the Leonidas family is a somewhat crowded family. Frankly, anyone from the outside would be fascinated if they saw this house. And he might think that family, like home, is perfect. But like every family, even everyone else, this family had dark secrets. Police Inspector Taverner begins questioning Charles' father and everyone in the family, one by one.

They had a sufficient knowledge of everyone in the whole family. Based on the testimonies and evidence found by family members, they think that the murderer is Brenda Leonidas, the widowed young wife of Artistide Leonidas. But Charles thinks Brenda Leonidas is not the murderer. Charles reached this idea as a result of his observations. However, the Leonidas family blames Brenda Leonidas for this murder. Because he has good reasons to commit this murder, that is, to kill Artistide Leonidas. The Loenidas family thinks that Brenda is a money-hunter. Although the age difference between Brenda and Artistide Leonidas confirms this. It was normal for them to think like that. But at the same time, the family suspected that they had a secret affair with Brenda and Laurence, who was tutoring Sophie's siblings. Since there was no evidence, eyewitness or explanation to confirm this, they could not do anything. Almost all the evidence and findings indicated that the murderer was Brenda. But Charles is convinced that Brenda and Laurence are not to blame for the man's death. Because he saw that he felt weak, helpless and alone with the effect of Brenda Artistide's death. According to him, Brenda is innocent.

The meeting story of Artistide and Brenda; They met while Brenda was a waitress at a restaurant chain. According to Artistide, there were several qualities that set Brenda apart from other waitresses. Artistide is aware that Brenda is both beautiful and desperate. Artistide proposes to Brenda. Brenda accepts this marriage proposal and they get married immediately. The Leonidas family was very surprised by the marriage of Artistide and Brenda. It can even be said to have garnered a great response. Most of all, Artistide's two sons, Roger and Phillip, were surprised by this marriage. They did not expect such a thing from their father. Roger and Phillip were almost sure the woman was a scavenger. They were afraid of not getting enough of their inheritance from their father. Because Roger wants to repeat his wife Clemency's unhappiness in his previous marriage and to keep her alive in the best possible way. However, Clemency does not have an eye for money, she just dreams of getting away from these events as soon as possible with her husband.

Artistide left a will to his family members. Things take a turn for the worse when the Leonidas family notices changes in the will. Meanwhile, Charles realizes that Sophia's sister, Josephine, knows something, but hides what she knows from everyone. He catches himself listening to the door several times and interrogates him to find out what he knows. At first he does not believe what Josephine tells and finds it absurd, but as time passes, different events happen and everything happens exactly as Josephine tells. Charles is surprised by this because he does not expect events to develop as Josephine describes. Things take a different turn as more evidence emerges that it was these two who committed the murder, and the murderer is revealed after more murders have taken place and the murderer dies. The killer is Sophie's sister, Josephine.
