The Classic Collection of Vernon Loder. Illustrated
This beautifully illustrated edition brings together some of the finest works by Vernon Loder, a master craftsman of Golden Age detective fiction. With a talent for intricate plots, sharp dialogue, and atmospheric settings, Loder's mysteries remain a compelling experience for readers who enjoy clever puzzles wrapped in polished prose.
In Between Twelve and One, a mysterious death during the midnight hours sets the stage for a suspenseful investigation full of secrets and twists.
The Vase Mystery offers an elegant country house crime where a seemingly minor object hides a deadly motive. And in The Mystery at Stowe, a weekend gathering turns fatal, revealing buried tensions and hidden identities behind a façade of gentility. Loder's recurring sleuth, Inspector Devenish, brings methodical brilliance and calm insight to each case, navigating lies, red herrings, and subtle psychological games.
Whether set in sleepy villages or London's busy streets, the crimes are always sophisticated, and the resolutions deeply satisfying. This collection is not only a tribute to one of the underappreciated talents of the 1920s and '30s, but also a treasure trove for fans of classic British mysteries. With newly commissioned illustrations that evoke the moody charm of interwar England, The Classic Collection of Vernon Loder invites readers into a world where manners conceal malice-and no detail is too small to matter.
A perfect companion for admirers of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Freeman Wills Crofts. Contents: Between Twelve and One The Vase Mystery The Mystery at Stowe The Shop Window Murders
