• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Since the early 19th century, whodunnit stories have baffled and intrigued readers, but it was during the years between WWI and WWII - the 'Golden Age' of mystery fiction - that the genre flourished, producing its most ingenious plots and timeless classics.

With Edgar Award-winning Otto Penzler as guide, delve into an irresistible collection of the finest American whodunits of the era, including household names and master storytellers, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ellery Queen and Mary Roberts Rinehart, as well as Ring Lardner, Melville Davisson Post and Helen Reilly.

Featuring a murder so baffling that only a stage magician could solve it, a barber who slowly reveals his dark past over the course of a deadly haircut, and an investigation impeded by too many detectives, this anthology features the very best puzzling whodunnits that put the reader's crime-solving skills to the test.
