 | | The Mystery of Marie Roget is particularly interesting, as it is a scarcely fictionalized analysis of the circumstances around the real-life discovery of the body of a young woman named Mary Rogers, in which Poe expounds his theory of what actually happened. | | | In tales such as these, the primary concern of the plot is ascertaining truth, and the usual means of obtaining the truth is through a complex and mysterious process combining intuitive logic, astute observation and perspicacious inference. | | | An early archetype of these types of story were the three Auguste Dupin stories of Edgar Allan Poe: The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Purloined Letter, and The Mystery of Marie Roget. |

| | Classic Mystery Fiction |
| | Israel Zangwill's contribution to mystery fiction is the first so-called locked room story where a crime is committed in a room locked from the inside thus it is impossible to work out how and who done it. | | | The atmosphere of the middle ages, the theological-philosophical debates of the time as well as the contrasting mentalities between the learned and the unlearned priests are a true history lesson to all lovers of this sub genre. | | | It is difficult to choose a novel by Ngaio Marsh to place in this section of the Bastulli Mystery Library because, let's face it, all of her work may be considered Classic Mystery Literature. |

| | Most of today's mystery writers would not be as sophisticated as Braddon at integrating contemporary movements in painting and photography into their tales. | | | Hoffmann's tale recalls nothing so much as the pulp fiction pieces of a hundred years later, in which several independent groups of people each get involved with a crime, and the reader is kept in the dark about the role each is playing, and how they all fit into the overall picture. | | | Hoffmann's work is unusual as well, in that the mystery elements are woven into a complex tale, in which the very shape of the crime becomes a mysterious issue. |

| | Despite her fathers objections, she marries this man, who is mysteriously murdered the night of their honeymoon. | | | Although he is a symbol of a bygone era, he comports himself with dignity and continues to cling to a unflinching code of honor.The Fencing Master takes on a new student-a ravishingly beautiful woman with whom he falls in love. | | | Later in the book I began to realize that the relationship of all the characters in the book was becoming very clear to me, and the novel concludes leaving the reader with firm sense of character resolution, unlike in many other fiction novels. |
