Summary

In "The Solution of a Remarkable Case," John R. Coryell masterfully weaves a narrative that combines elements of mystery and psychological depth, embodying the conventions of early 20th-century detective fiction. The novel showcases intricate plotting, vivid characterizations, and a distinctive prose style that reflects the author's keen eye for detail and understanding of the human condition. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly modernizing society, Coryell explores themes of morality, justice, and the cognitive processes behind crime-solving, which is emblematic of the era's literary preoccupations with crime and social order. John R. Coryell, an influential figure in the genre of detective fiction, brought a background in journalism and a profound fascination with the human psyche to his writing. His experiences in investigative reporting honed his ability to create suspenseful narratives imbued with psychological insight. Coryell's exposure to contemporary social issues and the complexities of the law informed his representation of characters and their motivations, making his work both timely and timeless, resonating with readers eager for cerebral challenges. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Solution of a Remarkable Case" to anyone interested in an intellectually stimulating mystery that transcends mere entertainment. Coryell's adept storytelling and rich character development invite readers to engage with not only the plot but the underlying philosophical inquiries that arise from the pursuit of truth.

    Thrift fashionista Dez Lane doesn't want to date Patrick Ruskin; she just wants to meet his mother, the editor-in-chief of Nouveau magazine.

    "The Crooked Man", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Crooked Man" 15th in a list of his 19 favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
    Holmes calls on Watson late one evening to tell him about a case that he has been working on, and also to invite him to be a witness to the final stage of the investigation. Colonel James Barclay, of The Royal Mallows based at Aldershot Camp, is dead, apparently by violence, and his wife, Nancy, is the prime suspect. The Colonel's brother officers are quite perplexed at the Colonel's fate, as most of them have always believed that he and Nancy were a happy couple. They have observed over the years, however, that the Colonel seemed more attached to his wife than she to him. They have also noticed that the Colonel sometimes had bouts of deep depression and moodiness for no apparent reason.
