Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Unseen Ear" by Natalie Sumner Lincoln is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on a murder that takes place during an ordinary evening at the Hale residence, involving main characters Judith Richards and her husband, Major Joseph Richards, as well as the Hale family. As the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that the apparent domestic tranquility is disrupted by the violent death of Austin Hale, leading to a tangled web of secrets and motives. At the start of the novel, the scene is set in the Hale household, where a man, later revealed to be Austin Hale, is found dead in the library after a mysterious disturbance. The narrative intricately weaves between characters, including Judith, who is enjoying a peaceful moment while a lurking figure examines a safe, suggesting that crime is present within the idyllic setting. The shocking discovery of the murder interrupts the calm, igniting a series of investigations and revealing emotional tensions as characters contend with their relationships and the implications of the crime. As Judith and her family grapple with this tragedy, it quickly becomes apparent that their lives are more intertwined with the incident than they realize.
