The Poisoned Chocolates Case

About this book

First published in 1929 and set in 1920s London in which a group ofarmchair detectives, who have founded the "Crimes Circle", formulate theories on a recent murder caseScotland Yardhas been unable to solve. Each of the six members, including their president, Berkeley's amateur sleuth Roger Sheringham, arrives at an altogether different solution as to the motive and the identity of the perpetrator, and also applies different methods of detection (basically deductiveor inductiveor a combination of both). Completely devoid of brutality but containing a lot of subtle, tongue-in-cheek humour instead, The Poisoned Chocolates Caseis one of the classicwhodunnitsof theGolden Age of Detective Fiction. As at least six plausible explanations of what really happened are put forward one after the other, the reader—just like the members of the Crimes Circle themselves—is kept guessing right up to the final pages of the book.
