Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Cicely Disappears is a masterful example of the Golden Age mystery, showcasing Anthony Berkeley at his most psychologically incisive and quietly subversive. Blending the elegance of classic British detective fiction with sharp social observation, this vintage crime novel offers a whodunit that is as intellectually engaging as it is subtly unsettling.Set in an upper-middle-class English milieu, the novel begins with a deceptively simple premise: a young woman vanishes without explanation. As suspicion spreads and assumptions harden, Berkeley peels back layers of respectability to reveal jealousy, self-deception, and moral blindness lurking beneath polite society. The mystery unfolds not through sensational violence, but through psychological tension, misdirection, and the slow exposure of character.Unlike the conventional country house mystery, Cicely Disappears challenges the reader to look beyond surface clues and tidy solutions. Berkeley's ingenious plotting and ironic tone place the novel firmly within the tradition of the traditional whodunit, while also pushing against its limits-making it a favorite among readers who appreciate intelligence over theatrics.First published during the height of the early twentieth-century mystery boom, Cicely Disappears remains a compelling example of why Golden Age detective fiction continues to endure. Witty, unsettling, and sharply observed, it is essential reading for fans of classic British crime novels and readers who enjoy mysteries that reward close attention and thoughtful deduction.…
