| Summary | "The Mardi Gras Mystery" by H. Bedford-Jones is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the intriguing and chaotic atmosphere of the Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans, where the enigmatic character Jachin Fell finds himself drawn into a mystery involving a notorious thief known as the Midnight Masquer. Throughout the novel, readers are introduced to a variety of characters, including a doctor and a young woman caught up in the social fabric of the Carnival, as they navigate themes of identity, deception, and the allure of the hidden. The opening of the story sets the stage for the unfolding mystery as Jachin Fell patiently awaits Dr. Cyril Ansley at the Chess and Checkers Club, all while the festive chaos of Mardi Gras swirls outside. As they discuss the rumored appearance of the Midnight Masquer, who has been robbing various gatherings, they touch upon the excitement and danger that the festivities bring to the city. The narrative introduces several key characters, such as the mysterious Jachin Fell and Doctor Ansley, who represent the social elite drawn into the whirl of Carnival delights. The tension builds as the duo plans to attend a party hosted by banker Joseph Maillard, laying the groundwork for potential theft and unraveling secrets during the height of the Carnival celebrations.
