Classic Locked Room Mysteries (По Эдгар Аллан, Коллинз Уильям Уилки, Дойл Артур Конан); Macmillan, 2016

Classic Locked-Room Mysteries is a fascinating collection of ingenious mysteries which all pose the question howdunnit? Featuring well-known sleuths such as Sherlock Holmes and Father Brown, as well as the less familiar, including Jacques Futrelles Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, in each story the reader is invited to play detective and is presented with a challenge: can you solve the mystery before the solution is revealed?

Locked-room mysteries reached their height of popularity in the Victorian and Edwardian eras; this collection, edited and introduced by David Stuart Davies, brings together stories from such masters of the genre as Edgar Allan Poe, Wilkie Collins, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and G. K. Chesterton.
