First published in 1929, ''The Piccadilly Murder'' by Anthony Berkeley features the popular amateur sleuth, Roger Sheringham.
Sheringham investigates the death of a man in a London tea shop, initially thought to be a heart attack but soon revealed to involve foul play. True to Berkeley's style, the story unfolds with wit, sharp dialogue, and a focus on psychological depth. Berkeley's hallmark is his ability to play with conventional mystery tropes, offering surprises and a sometimes unconventional approach to justice.
