Description
Meet Joseph Rouletabille, detective extraordinaire!
The Mystery of the Yellow Room features a seemingly impossible crime – one of the earliest locked room mysteries. Leroux provides the reader with detailed diagrams and floorplans that show the scene of the crime. The reader is also challenged to solve the mystery alongside Rouletabille. This was one of the most influential detective novels ever as can be seen by the tributes below from fellow fictional detectives.
“The best detective tale ever written” – Dr Gideon Fell in The Hollow Man
“And here is The Mystery of the Yellow Room. That – ah, that is really a classic! I approve of it from start to finish. Such a logical approach!” – Hercule Poirot in The Clocks
The Perfume of the Lady in Black is a direct sequel and begins where The Yellow Room leaves off. The same cast of characters is back for yet another locked room mystery that will engross readers.
