The Viaduct Murder

The Viaduct Murder by Ronald A. Knox is a refined mystery featuring a quartet of amateur detectives. When a local magistrate is found dead near a railway viaduct, the group—composed of a don, a clergyman, a barrister, and a journalist—band together to investigate. The novel satirizes detective fiction tropes while delivering a thoughtful, methodical narrative that invites readers to puzzle through the clues alongside the sleuths.
