Murder with Peacock Feathers

The golden age of detective fiction left many star names - A. Christie, G. K. Chesterton, G. Mitchell, and others. Among this bright constellation, John Dickson Carr (1906–1977) occupies the most honorable place. "Murder in a Locked Room", where there... is no room for furious chases and shootouts, and the circle of suspects is as limited as possible, is a favorite device of the author. Carr entices the reader into the web of cleverly set traps, deceptive moves, and subtle hints, inviting them to participate in solving an intricate puzzle, unraveling the threads of "impossible" crimes. In the novel "Ten Tea Cups, or Murder with Peacock Feathers", Sir Henry Merrivale, one of the most charming and eccentric detectives in detective literature, will once again investigate an "impossible crime" - a murder committed with two point-blank shots on a quiet fashionable street in London, in an empty house where there was no one except the victim...
