When the charming but sharp-witted amateur sleuth Roger Sheringham is invited to a country house party at Layton Court, he expects laughter, cocktails, and lively conversation-not murder. But when a guest is found dead under suspicious circumstances, the elegant weekend gathering turns into a deadly game of deduction and deceit.
With the local police baffled, Sheringham takes charge, applying his keen intellect, biting wit, and relentless curiosity to untangle a puzzle full of hidden motives, secret liaisons, and shocking revelations. Every guest has something to hide, and every clue draws him deeper into a labyrinth of lies that could expose far more than a killer.
Originally published in 1925, The Layton Court Mystery launched one of the most brilliant detective series of the Golden Age of British crime fiction. Written by Anthony Berkeley, a founding member of the Detection Club alongside Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, this novel delivers everything fans of classic whodunits, British country house mysteries, and vintage detective stories love: sparkling dialogue, eccentric suspects, and a mystery that challenges the reader to solve it first.
Perfect for readers of Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham, and John Dickson Carr, this atmospheric and intelligent mystery marks the unforgettable debut of Roger Sheringham-a sleuth whose brilliance and humor set a new standard for the genre.
