Blindfold

"Blindfold" is a 1935 mystery and romance novel by the British author Patricia Wentworth. It is a standalone novel and does not feature her famous series detective, Miss Maud Silver. The novel's plot revolves around a young man named Miles Clayton, who is tasked with finding a missing 19-year-old girl, the unknown heir to a vast American fortune. His search begins with very little information, essentially making him "blindfolded" in his mission. The story develops as the missing persons case intertwines with another mystery involving a young woman named Flossie Palmer, a spooky house with secret rooms, and a moving mirror that reveals a human face.
