Ankur Sinha reviewed Three Coffins by John Dickson Carr
Review of 'Three Coffins' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
There's a reason this is considered the best locked room mystery to be written. As Carr explains in chapter 17, one cannot help being disappointed when the trick is revealed - we expect too much. I have a similar feeling now, because I know how it transpired - magic tricks lose their appeal when revealed. Having said that, the trick here is pure genius! Dr. Fell outdoes himself, as he does so often.
This one's a must read.
