When a series of brides turn up dead under impossible circumstances, the irascible and brilliantly eccentric Sir Henry Merrivale is called upon to untangle a web of theatrical deception, false identities, and lethal cunning — a case where every clue seems to contradict the last.\n\nCarter Dickson — the pseudonym of the legendary John Dickson Carr — was the undisputed grandmaster of the impossible crime, and My Late Wives stands as a sparkling testament to his genius for constructing seemingly impenetrable puzzles. His prose crackles with wit and a flair for the dramatic, balancing genuine menace with the anarchic comedic energy that Sir Henry Merrivale brings to every scene. Carr's plots are architectural marvels, built with the precision of a Swiss watch and the audacity of a stage magician — and this novel's final revelation will leave even seasoned mystery readers questioning everything they thought they knew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161025257691,"sku":"2026200011256-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/97d7dea4-6015-4722-86cc-0ca21c003df2.png?v=1787189323","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011256-secondhand-my-late-wives-another-adventure-of-sir-henry-merrivale","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
