Description:
Murder at the Keyhole is a gripping and atmospheric mystery by R.A.J. Walling, one of the more refined and literary voices of British Golden Age detective fiction. Known for his intricate plots and urbane prose, Walling delivers a tale of subtle suspense, where a locked room, a keyhole, and a chilling death form the core of an elegant and intelligent whodunit.
When a prominent man is found dead in his study, the door locked from the inside and no obvious means of entry or exit, the case appears to be an impossible crime. The only clue: a witness claims to have seen something—or someone—through the keyhole. Called in to investigate is private detective Philip Tolefree, Walling’s cool-headed and observant sleuth, who must navigate a web of secrets, suppressed motives, and carefully guarded appearances.
Walling's background as a journalist and editor lends his fiction a polished style and sharp insight into human behavior. Murder at the Keyhole is not just a puzzle to be solved, but a psychological portrait of the tensions that brew beneath polite society. As Tolefree methodically pieces together the truth, the reader is drawn into a world where every glance, gesture, and silence may carry fatal meaning.
Perfect for fans of Freeman Wills Crofts and Henry Wade, Murder at the Keyhole is a classic mystery with a cerebral edge—a forgotten gem that rewards close reading and delivers a satisfying, quietly powerful resolution.
