by Anthony Berkeley (Author)
When a society lady dies after eating a box of chocolates meant for someone else, London's press and police are baffled. Only the brilliant - and infuriating - amateur sleuth Roger Sheringham dares to unravel the case's tangled motives and deadly elegance. But this time, he's not working alone. Six sharp minds, each with a theory, tackle the same crime - and every solution seems more convincing than the last... until the final, shocking revelation.
A masterpiece of Golden Age detective fiction, The Poisoned Chocolates Case is Anthony Berkeley at his cleverest - witty, psychological, and delightfully subversive. With multiple detectives, multiple answers, and one unforgettable twist, it's a mystery lover's dream come true.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Margery Allingham, this classic blends humor, suspense, and intellectual challenge in equal measure.
