( ) A brilliant read, though I have to admit to being a fan of John Dickson Carr, though some of his were ordinary! This book featured one of Carr's famous amatuer dectitive's being Dr Gideon Fell, who was a close friend of the most obvious suspect, a judge no less who is known to be harsh on criminals. In a remote sea side cottage, a death occurs and the Judge, based solely on the facts is immediately suspected (as a matter of logic, but really?) There are many to's and fro's and there master reveal in the last 6 lines (of my edition). Would you do that in similar circumstances?

"First published in 1942, this reissue of one of Carr's most highly rated mysteries featuring series detective Gideon Fell offers readers a tense and enjoyable game of cat and mouse between the detective and the chief suspect. 'The supreme conjuror; the king of the art of misdirection ... once you begin a book of his, you simply cannot put it down.' -- Agatha Christie on John Dickson Carr When the police arrive at the holiday bungalow of the haughty Justice Ireton to find a man killed by gunshot and the high court judge brandishing a pistol, the case seems as straightforward as it is scandalous. Yet, with the incongruous assemblage of physical evidence, the judge's denial of any participation in the crime and the recent events of his daughter's love life combined, the deceptively simple case is soon steeped in complexity. At a loss in the bizarre circumstances, the local force calls in the larger-than-life sleuth Dr Gideon Fell, who just the previous day had been contending with Ireton's intellect over a game of chess. With Fell and the judge now facing off as detective and suspect, a new battle of wits begins in this fiendishly plotted masterclass of the mystery genre"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden.
