Books like The Piccadilly Murder by Anthony Berkeley


While at the Piccadilly Palace Hotel, Mr. Ambrose Chitterwick observes a shocking scene in a crowded lounge: an elderly woman dies from poisoning, her hand clutching an empty vial and a coffee cup containing prussic acid. Scotland Yard accuses Major Sinclair, the woman’s nephew and presumed heir, of the murder, and Inspector Moresby designates Chitterwick as the chief witness. However, friends and relatives testify that Major Sinclair is incapable of such a crime, prompting Chitterwick to dig deeper. Readers follow Chitterwick as he navigates a maze of contradictory clues, his only solace being a recitation of “The Wreck of the Hesperus.”
