About this book

An early example of the English detective novel, this 1906 story unfolds in the quiet parish of Long Wilton, where a country gentleman is found stabbed in his bed and a set of tracks in the fresh snow becomes the clue that refuses to fit. The narrator is the local rector, telling the story years afterward as he recalls how he set out to find his friend's killer once the police had arrested the wrong man. His patient sifting of alibis and motives anticipates the puzzle mysteries that would flourish a generation later. Written by a Liberal politician better remembered for his biography of Lincoln, the book carries a thoughtful, morally curious tone that was unusual for the genre in its day. Readers who enjoy vintage whodunits with an intelligent amateur at the center will find it a quiet, satisfying read. Available here as a free PDF and EPUB edition.
