The golden age of detective fiction produced many talented writers, among them John Dixon Carr stands out. His works, such as "Murder in a Locked Room", are known for their sharp, intriguing plots and a limited circle of suspects. Carr skillfully leads the reader through tangled traps, creating misleading clues and subtle hints, and invites them to join in solving intriguing riddles. One of his novels, "Ten Teacups, or Murder with Peacock Feathers", continues the series about Sir Henry Merrivale—the eccentric and charming detective—who became one of the most unusual characters in detective literature.
