The Mystery of Major Molineux

3.3/5 ( ratings)

The Mystery of Major Molineux was the final literary work of famous Australian author, Marcus Clarke , best known for his epic tale of convict transportation to Australia in For the Term of His Natural Life.

Set in the 1830s, The Mystery of Major Molineux is a gothic tale centred on retired British Army officer Major J. Molineux, whose strange reclusive behaviour is the talk of colonial Tasmania.

Through Clarke’s skillful use of suspense and climax, this soul-thrilling story is worthy of comparison to the American classics, The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe, and My Kinsman, Major Molineux by Nathaniel Hawthorne, to which it owes its title.
