Hardback. Condition: Fine. Mark Thomas (illustrator). First Thus. 2016 First Thus. Fine Hardback. No inscriptions or bookplates. Near Fine slipcase. Slight marks to panels of slipcase. Set in Joanna with Gill Sans display. 272 pages. Frontispiece and 6 colour plates. 9" x 6¼". Leading lights of the golden age of crime fiction, among them Agatha Christie, G. K. Chesterton and Dorothy L. Sayers, take turns weaving an inventive murder mystery. When an old sailor is found dead in a boat on the River Whyn, the redoubtable Inspector Rudge is called in to investigate. What follows is a classic whodunnit, with a full cast of dubious characters: the twitchy vicar, the gossiping busybody, the mysterious woman and a delicious array of tantalising clues: the vicar s hat, the loaded revolver, the copy of last night s newspaper in the victim s pocket. The novel was written by members of The Detection Club. Each author contributing a chapter a-piece has a unique approach to the increasingly complex tale, often gleefully introducing a new twist to the story just before passing it on. As well as the 'true' solution provided by Anthony Berkeley (in a final chapter appropriately titled 'Clearing up the Mess'), each contributor's solution is included in an appendix, providing an unusual and entertaining glimpse into the methodical minds of some of our most famous crime writers.

Proclaimed by the Crime Writers' Association as the finest example of the genre ever penned , The Murder of Roger Ackroyd contains one of the most celebrated twists in crime fiction and is consistently voted among Agatha Christie s best novels. It is, famously, the Poirot novel that demands to be read twice: the curious reader cannot resist re-examining what they thought they knew. Laura Thompson, Christie's biographer, described it as 'masterly: deceptive in every way', and it remains a rare treat for those who savour the challenge of a whodunnit, yet love to be taken in by a master of her craft.
