Description

The golden age of detective fiction has given us many stellar names. Works by writers such as Agatha Christie, Gilbert Chesterton, Earl Stanley Gardner, Rex Stout helped develop and refine the detective genre; their novels, unquestioningly recognized as classics, are still loved by readers today and remain a benchmark of quality for subsequent generations of authors of detective stories. A well-deserved place in this constellation belongs to John Dixon Carr (1906–1977) — a virtuoso master of perfectly constructed “impossible crimes” in locked rooms.

The novel “Until Death Do Us Part” continues the series of books about the amateur detective, Dr. Gideon Fell. The hero’s appearance, it is said, was modeled on another luminary of the detective genre — Gilbert Chesterton—and, in the opinion of most admirers of Carr’s work, his merits in the history of detective fiction are truly worthy of respect. Thus, writer Kingsley Amis, in his essay “My Favorite Detectives,” called Dr. Fell “one of the three great successors to Sherlock Holmes.”
