{"product_id":"murder-in-the-basement-british-library-crime-classics","title":"Murder in the Basement (British Library Crime Classics)","description":"In this brilliantly unconventional British mystery, a buried body and a novelist's manuscript intertwine, turning fiction into fatal fact. Literary clues and eccentric suspects collide in a tale perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and British Library Crime Classics.\nWhen a young couple uncovers a corpse beneath their new London home, Scotland Yard is stumped. Enter Roger Sheringham: novelist, amateur sleuth, and reluctant schoolteacher. While posing as a teacher for research, Sheringham pens a biting satire about his colleagues. But as Inspector Moresby digs deeper, one question emerges: did Sheringham unwittingly describe the victim―and their killer?\nA genre-defying gem from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, Murder in the Basement delivers a mystery as thought-provoking as it is entertaining; with sharp wit, period charm, and a daring narrative twist.\nPraise for Murder in the Basement:\n\"[Anthony Berkeley's] tale of petty rivalries, affairs, and revenge plots is so deliciously entertaining. [Murder in the Basement is] a pioneering example of the \"whowasdunin\" that, like that corpse in the basement, richly deserves exhumation.\" ― Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1728261244\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1728261244.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Berkeley, Anthony\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
