Widely acknowledged as the first detective novel, the story is told by insurance investigator Ralph Henderson, who is building a case against the sinister Baron R-, who is suspected of murdering his wife. Henderson descends into a maze of intrigue including a diabolical mesmerist, kidnapping by gypsies, slow-poisoners, a rich uncle's will and three murders.Presented in the form of diary entries, letters, chemical analysis reports, interviews with witnesses and a crime scene map, the novel displays innovative techniques that would not become common features of detective fiction until the 1920s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52157234676000,"sku":"NEW1464204802","price":12.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81DfF4jN0_L.jpg?v=1786038892","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-notting-hill-mystery-british-library-crime-classics-1464204802","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
