Description

The “golden age” of detective fiction introduced readers to a whole constellation of famous names. The books of Agatha Christie, Gilbert Chesterton, Earl Stanley Gardner, and Rex Stout honed and developed the genre; their novels—long since established as recognized classics—remain beloved reading to this day and serve as a benchmark of quality for new generations of authors. A worthy place among these masters belongs to John Dixon Carr (1906–1977), the unmatched virtuoso of carefully constructed plots about “impossible crimes in a locked room.”

The novel "Death Changes Everything" is part of the series featuring the amateur sleuth Dr. Gideon Fell. It is believed that the hero’s traits echo those of another pillar of detective literature—Gilbert Chesterton—and, in the view of many of Carr’s fans, Fell’s significance for the genre is hard to overestimate. It is no accident that, in the essay "My Favorite Detectives," the writer Kingsley Amis called Dr. Fell "one of the three great successors to Sherlock Holmes."
