#MurderEveryMonday “Clue” in the title

Today’s #MurderEveryMonday is a crime fiction book with the word “clue” in the title.

Agatha Christie’s The Double Clue was my first thought. In this short story, Poirot is called by a collector/seller of antiques to investigate a necklace robbery. It’s also the first appearance of the Countess Vera Rossakoff, that has a somehow special relation with Poirot.

The story, as so many others, was published first in a magazine in the 1920s as it was custom. It appeared collected in book form in the 1970s in the UK as Poirot’s Early Cases. In Portugal, this edition is titled as Wasps’ Nest (Ninho de Vespas), a title of one of the stories.

My second thought was The Clue of the New Pin by Edgar Wallace (translated as A Pista do Alfinete Novo). While looking for this titles, I found The Clue of the Twisted Candle also by Wallace. I don’t remember reading this one, it seems the main character is a successful mysteries writer, so now I got curious!

Edgar Wallace’s works are already in Public Domain, so you can read/download both stories from Standard Ebooks below:
