Mount Royal Vol. I is a mystery novel by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, first published in 1860. The novel tells the story of Marian Halcombe, a young woman who travels to the Canadian wilderness to investigate the mysterious death of her half-sister, Laura Fairlie. Marian soon discovers that Laura's death is not as simple as it seems, and she must unravel a web of lies and deceit in order to find the truth.
The novel opens with Marian receiving a letter from Laura, who is living in Canada with her husband, Sir Percival Glyde. Laura tells Marian that she is in danger, and she begs Marian to come to Canada and help her. Marian immediately sets sail for Canada, determined to find out what is wrong with Laura.
When Marian arrives in Canada, she finds Laura in a state of nervous collapse. Laura tells Marian that she is being poisoned by her husband, Sir Percival. Marian does not believe Laura at first, but she soon starts to suspect that Laura is telling the truth.
