A young woman vanishes without a trace from a cottage watched from all sides. Five butlers, all linked to impossible murders, face their own improbable doom at the annual club dinner. How was a bank-cashier, enjoying the radio at home alone, felled by a bullet fired 222 years prior?

Today, 'locked room mystery' is too often used as shorthand for any kind of closed-circle detective story, but this collection of classic short mysteries is the real deal, where the question is not simply whodunit?, but howdunit? And for puzzle-obsessives and those who love to see how the greatest deceptions are unraveled, As If by Magic offers some of the most tantalising criminal conundrums ever devised.
