Description

"The Poisoned Chocolates Case" by Anthony Berkeley is a detective novel published in 1929. When a box of poisoned chocolates kills an innocent woman instead of its intended victim, Scotland Yard reaches a dead end. Six members of the Crimes Circle, a group of armchair detectives, each propose completely different solutions to the mystery. Using varying methods of detection, they identify different suspects and motives. This Golden Age whodunit keeps readers guessing through multiple plausible explanations until the final revelation of the true perpetrator. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
