G.K. Chesterton

The Man Who Was Thursday

It is very difficult to classify THE MAN WHO WAS THURSDAY. It is possible to say that it is a gripping adventure story of murderous criminals and brilliant policemen; but it was to be expected that the author of the Father Brown stories should tell a detective story like no-one else. On this level, therefore, THE MAN WHO WAS THURSDAY succeeds superbly; if nothing else, it is a magnificent tour-de-force of suspense-writing. However, the reader will soon discover that it is much more...

The Murder on the Links

"The Murder on the Links" takes place in northern France, giving Poirot a hostile competitor from the Paris Sûreté. Poirot's long memory for past or similar crimes proves useful in resolving the crimes. Reviews when it was published compared Mrs Christie favourably to Arthur Conan Doyle in his Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Remarking on Poirot, still a new character, one reviewer said he was «a pleasant contrast to most of his lurid competitors; and one even suspects a touch of satire in him.»

The Pictures of Dorian Gray

Oscar Wilde

The Pictures of Dorian Gray

"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is the only published novel by Oscar Wilde. It appeared as the lead story in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine.
