Wealth sets the stage for trouble
Webster wrote in a period when American fiction often looked at the newly rich and the manners of the well off. A mystery in that setting gains much from money. Valuable objects draw attention, and attention draws risk.
A necklace is a fitting center for such a tale. It can be a gift, a sign of status, a family treasure or a temptation. Readers of this kind of book learn to ask who owns it, who wants it and who is pleased to see it.
The setting gives the story its pressure. In rooms where everyone is polite, a secret is easy to keep, and a small slip can matter a great deal.
That’s 1 of 4 key points.
