    Murder at the Manor: Country House Mysteries (British Library Crime Classics)

    By Arthur Conan Doyle

    About

    The English country house is an iconic setting for some of the greatest British crime fiction. Short stories are an important part of this tradition, and writers from Agatha Christie to Margery Allingham became famous for the intricate cases which their detectives unravelled in rambling country houses. These stories continue to enjoy wide appeal, driven partly by nostalgia for a vanished way of life, and partly by the pleasure of trying to solve a fiendish puzzle.

    This new collection gathers together stories written over a span of about 65 years, during which British society, and life in country houses, was transformed out of all recognition. It includes fascinating and unfamiliar twists on the classic 'closed circle' plot, in which the assorted guests at a country house party become suspects when a crime is committed. In the more sinister tales featured here, a gloomy mansion set in lonely ground offers an eerie backdrop for dark deeds, as in Arthur Conan Doyle's 'The Copper Beeches' and W.W Jacobs's 'The Well'.

    Many distinguished writers are represented in this collection, including such great names of the genre as Anthony Berkeley. Nicholas Black and G.K. Chesterton.
