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.
