The Unicorn Murders

The golden age of the detective left behind many star names — A. Christie, G. K. Chesterton, G. Leroux, and others. In this bright array, John Dickson Carr (1906–1977) occupies the most honorable place. “The Murder in the Locked Room,”... where there is no place for wild chases and shootouts, and the circle of suspects is kept to a minimum, is a favorite device of the author. Carr lures the reader into the nets of skillfully arranged traps, false clues, deceptive moves, and subtle hints, inviting them to participate in solving a clever puzzle. This collection presents the novels “The Unicorn Murders,” “Murders in the Style of Judy and Punch,” and “Ten Tea Cups, or The Murder with Peacock Feathers,” which continue the series about the magnificent Sir Henry Merrivale — a charming, eccentric, whimsical fat man, recognized by critics as one of the most remarkable detectives in detective literature.
