Lord Arthur Savile, a rich man who no enemies finds out that he must do something terrible before he can marry. Poor young Hughie Erskine gives money to an old beggar - but the beggar is not what he seems. And Lord Murchison falls in love with a mystery woman - but what is the strange secret behind the door in Cumnor Street? There are three stories in this book about ordinary people like you and me, but they find themselves in surprising situations. For example one of the character named Lord Arthur Savile decided to kill a person before he get married because of a fortuneteller's advise. He is a good man and he has no enemies but why he had to kill a person? After reading the book, I feel that we can be murders in some circumstances even if we ordinary people.
