Description:
The Vase Mystery is a gripping and cleverly constructed detective novel by Vernon Loder, a notable figure of the Golden Age of British crime fiction. Known for his clean prose, tightly woven plots, and atmospheric settings, Loder once again delivers a suspenseful and satisfying mystery that keeps the reader guessing until the final reveal.
The story centers around a seemingly simple object—an ornate antique vase—that becomes the key to a dark and puzzling crime. When a murder occurs in an otherwise peaceful English country house, suspicion falls on the household and its visitors. But what connection does the delicate porcelain vase have to the motive? Inspector Devenish, Loder’s recurring and astute investigator, must untangle a web of secrets, deceit, and long-held grudges to expose the killer.
With his characteristic blend of methodical detection and psychological nuance, Loder creates a tightly-paced narrative where every clue matters and no character is quite what they seem. The closed-circle setting heightens the tension, and the puzzle at the heart of the mystery is both original and intellectually satisfying.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Freeman Wills Crofts, The Vase Mystery is a classic British whodunit that deserves to be rediscovered. This edition reintroduces a forgotten gem of detective fiction from an author who helped shape the genre in its golden age.
