The Plague Court Murders by Carter Dickson

3.0

great atmospheric read. locked room mysteries are always a wild ride. the reveal at the end does have a 'ohhhh wow that's so obvious how could i have missed that??', and it's well-written to keep me hooked throughout. i enjoy sir henry merrivale's character.

quotes: the rain ran soft-footed through the house; splashing and echoing in its mysterious places.

it was a cold night; so cold that sounds acquired a new sharpness, and breath hung in smoke on the luminous air.
