Item description
Locked
room mysteries - featuring seemingly impossible murders - have intrigued crime
fans since the golden age of detective fiction. What's their appeal, and how
many ingenious solutions can writers devise...
Within
this splendid reference work; Adey presents a numbered list of 1280 entries,
alphabetical by author, that contribute to the literature of impossible crimes.
Included are novels and short stories with their publication dates, the name of
the detective, and with Adey's short explanations for inclusion in the
bibliography. The solutions to the problems are given in a separate back
section, cross referenced, so as not to spoil the reading experience.
