Murder in the Maze

The same walls that trap the victim, can hide the killer.

A summer afternoon at Whistlefield ends with two men dead inside its ornamental maze—and no one, apparently, anywhere near them.

Chief Constable Sir Clinton Driffield knows this wasn’t passion or panic. This was planned, with the cold patience of someone who understood exactly how a maze works.

As Driffield picks his way through the household’s polished manners, the genteel surface begins to crack.

In Murder in the Maze, first published in 1927, J. J. Connington plays fair. The clues are all yours. Good luck.
