Hollywood has never been so deadly — when aspiring novelist Monica Stanton takes a job as a scriptwriter at Albion Studios, she expects glamour and opportunity, but what she finds instead is a string of sinister threats, near-fatal accidents, and a murderous conspiracy lurking beneath the glittering surface of the British film industry. And So to Murder is a classic locked-room mystery from Carter Dickson — the pen name of the legendary John Dickson Carr — featuring the inimitable Sir Henry Merrivale, the blustering, brilliant barrister-detective who cuts through chaos and red herrings with equal aplomb. Carr, widely regarded as the undisputed master of the impossible crime, constructs his trademark labyrinthine plot with precise ingenuity, layering wit, farce, and genuine menace in equal measure. The novel stands as a love letter to — and a sharp satire of — the Golden Age film world, capturing the backstage anxieties of wartime Britain with a deft, comedic touch. With every chapter tightening the screws of suspense, the identity of the would-be killer remains breathtakingly elusive right up to the final, startling reveal.
