The Verdict of You All. Illustrated

Henry Wade,

About this book

Originally published in 1926, The Verdict of You All marked the debut of Henry Wade, one of the most respected authors of the Golden Age of detective fiction. A masterful blend of legal drama, psychological insight, and traditional detective investigation, the novel immediately established Wade as a writer of seriousness and skill. The story opens with the murder of Sir Robert Fyfe, a prominent barrister found dead in his study under suspicious circumstances. As the police delve into the lives of those closest to him—including his family, colleagues, and clients—they uncover a tangled web of motives, secrets, and old grievances. The investigation is led by Superintendent Dodd, whose calm, rational approach slowly unravels the layers of deception surrounding the case. The title refers to the moment of courtroom climax, where the jury's verdict must reflect the complex interplay between justice and human fallibility. What sets The Verdict of You All apart is its realistic portrayal of police procedure and courtroom dynamics. Unlike the flamboyant detectives of his contemporaries, Wade's approach is grounded in the practicalities of law and the subtleties of human behavior. This restrained, intelligent style makes the novel both gripping and believable. Henry Wade was the pen name of Major Sir Henry Lancelot Aubrey-Fletcher (1887–1969), a British baronet, army officer, and magistrate. Educated at Eton and Oxford, Wade brought a deep understanding of law, society, and justice to his fiction. He was one of the founding members of the Detection Club (alongside Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and others), and is best known for his thoughtful, often morally complex detective novels. His work is characterized by a concern with realism, ethics, and the workings of the British legal system, making him a cornerstone of serious Golden Age crime writing.
