Twelve years after the commission of a crime, the wife of the accused and condemned man comes back to clear her husband's name. She has, she thinks, a clue, unthought-of at the time of the trial, which will prove that her daughter's father was not a murderer, and thus leave the girl free to marry the son of the judge who pronounced sentence. She follows her clue and it leads her into strange ways and casts suspicion on the house where she had least dreamed of finding the real offender. In the end the confession that reveals the truth comes as a surprise to all, including the reader.

'Q', who is first seen in The Leavenworth Case is of a crepuscular nature, perhaps he can be described as even eerily murky, but in the end he achieves his goal.   In the case of "The Strange Disappearance", he also become the story's narrator and leads us through a string of events that involve a sewing woman who vanishes from the home of Holman Blake.

Room Number 3, and Other Detective Stories (Annotated)

Miss Amelia Butterworth (who was christened Araminta but feels that too weak and sentimental a name for a woman of her), a 50-something spinster, looks out her window at midnight and sees a man and a woman enter the darkened house of her vacationing next door neighbors. Though - she says - she is not an inquisitive woman, she continues to watch and sees the man leave alone. When the house is still dark the next day, she summons a policeman, and they find the body of an unknown woman. Discovering who she is and who killed her puts the purposeful Miss Butterworth in competition with Detective Ebenezer Gryce, still sleuthing at 77.
