This was the first tale on the Dark Origins omnibus edition. While the remaining aconyte novels we've got non game characters as the main characters here is the other way around. The main characters are  playful characters - at least for  Eldritch Horror or Arkham Horror 2 Edition. Can't really talk about Mansion of Madness or 3rd edition arkham horror.

Here we have Jenny Barnes. A hot elitist girl. You know that girl that makes every man look her way? She is that one. When I play the game, those characters all had their own stories and their stories were coherent with 1920/1930 stuff. Of course people nowadays think they must personalities and goals like nowadays people - WHICH IS DUMB.  This is how you know you are a good writer or not. Don't give characteristics to people set a century before.... Some parts were like that - a bit Woke.

The plot deals with Jenny coming from France to Arkham to discover what is happening to her sister. In Arkham she meets and with the help of a couple characters they try to uncover what happened to her. It was cool to see the history of Jenny and the pistols she has in the painting on the arkham horror card.  I believe the original book had some extra cards but since I didn't had arkham horror 3rd edition I didn't buy at that time.

Overall was invested and eager to read the next novellas...
