Description

At the Time Appointed is a great mystery novel by Anna Maynard Barbour. Barbour wrote numerous best-sellers, this one being one of them.

The story is about a young man named John Darrell, a mining engineer who witnesses a murder of another young man called Whitcomb during a robbery that takes place on a train, but he suffers an accident immediately afterwards and he loses his memory as a consequence. He is provided shelter by the murdered man’s family and while there, he develops a new character, he gets a new name and brand-new life as well, a life full of adventures. While staying with the Whitcombs, he meets Kathy, and the two fall in love with each other, despite the intention of Kathy’s father to arrange a marriage between his daughter and a wealthy man called Walcott.

Other characters appear as well, and each of them becomes involved in the marriage arrangements, in one way or another. What’s more, each of them has secrets that are revealed one by one. There is a lot to reveal, indeed, including John Darrell’s identity and the identity of Whitcomb’s murderer, but by the end of the novel every piece of the puzzle will fall into place.

At the Time Appointed is a real page turner, just like Barbour’s other stories. Unfortunately, this great and talented author was not a very prolific writer, but even so, she was considered to be one of the most successful writers of detective stories in American literature at the beginning of the 20th century. She wrote only very few novels, but all of them are amazing, quick-paced and well-constructed mysteries. The Award of Justice, published in 1897, That Mainwaring Affair, published in 1900, and Breakers Ahead, published in 1906, along with this very novel discussed here, are her most well-known and most successful writings.
