John Dickson Carr, the undisputed master of the locked-room mystery, constructs a plot of labyrinthine complexity, weaving together period detail, gothic menace, and razor-sharp deduction in equal measure. The narrative follows a cast of richly drawn characters as it uncovers dark secrets lurking beneath the veneer of respectable Victorian society, building suspense with Carr's trademark blend of eerie atmosphere and ingenious plotting. Fans of classic detective fiction will find the tone both thrillingly suspenseful and wryly witty, a hallmark of Carr's celebrated style. The Hungry Goblin stands as a masterful homage to the golden age of detective fiction, delivering the intricate puzzle-box plotting that made Carr one of the genre's most beloved architects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820223181019,"sku":"2026100005113-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9342fe60-b5ae-46a2-9e8e-b336bde1395f.png?v=1780054477","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100005113-secondhand-the-hungry-goblin-a-victorian-detective-novel","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
