Description:
A delightful blend of classic detective fiction and British humor, The Viaduct Murder is a brilliant mystery by Ronald Arbuthnott Knox, one of the pioneers of Golden Age crime fiction. This novel departs from his well-known Miles Bredon series, instead featuring a group of amateur sleuths who find themselves entangled in a baffling case.
When the body of a retired judge is discovered beneath a viaduct in the English countryside, what at first appears to be an unfortunate accident soon raises suspicions of foul play. A clergyman, a journalist, a retired army officer, and a golf enthusiast—each with a sharp mind and a unique perspective—team up to investigate the case, determined to uncover the truth. But as they dig deeper, they encounter a tangle of motives, hidden secrets, and unexpected twists that put their deductive skills to the test.
With his signature wit and cleverly constructed plot, Knox delivers a charming and intellectually engaging mystery filled with sharp dialogue, astute observations, and a touch of satire on the conventions of detective fiction itself. The Viaduct Murder is a must-read for fans of traditional whodunits, offering a thoroughly entertaining journey into the world of amateur sleuthing and classic British crime.
