It’s in the vows: Till Death Do Us Part (John Dickson Carr)

This title is part of the author’s Dr. Gideon Fell Series; there are many books that feature this sleuth. The book is published by Poisoned Pen Press as part of their commitment to reissuing classic mystery stories from earlier eras. Till Death Do Us Part originally came out in the 1940s.

Carr was known for his locked room mysteries, of which this was one. The case is meant to intrigue and to be possible for an astute reader to solve (that does not always include me). The plot in this one is complex. Is a mystery writer’s fiancee a murderer? If so, how many crimes has she committed? Or, is his fiancee being unjustly accused? Gideon Fell is eventually called in to solve the case with his expertise.

Those who enjoy crime novels dating from the 1940s will be thrilled with this one as will be those who are already the author’s fans.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this title. All opinions are my own.

This title was published in August 2022.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
