About this book

A.B.C. Solves Five is a clever and compelling collection of five classic mysteries featuring the brilliant amateur sleuth A.B.C., created by C. E. Bechhofer Roberts, a barrister, journalist, and novelist known for his sharp intellect and narrative precision. First published in the 1930s, this volume offers an elegant showcase of Golden Age detective fiction—rich in deduction, atmosphere, and psychological insight. In each of the five cases, A.B.C.—a mysterious figure with a keen analytical mind—steps in where official investigators falter. With methodical brilliance and a cool detachment reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes or Dr. Thorndyke, he pieces together motives, reconstructs timelines, and uncovers truths hidden beneath the surface of polite society. From puzzling disappearances to cleverly staged murders, A.B.C.'s calm logic and subtle wit guide the reader through twisty plots and satisfying resolutions. Bechhofer Roberts, drawing on his legal background, injects each story with realistic procedure and intelligent dialogue, making the puzzles not only entertaining but plausible. The stories also reflect the social concerns and cultural textures of interwar Britain, giving the collection both literary value and historical interest. A.B.C. Solves Five is a forgotten gem of the mystery genre—a must-read for fans of classic detective fiction who appreciate clever plots, cerebral sleuths, and crisp, articulate storytelling.
