But in this book there are as many deductions as there are people, and all of them plausible in their own way. In many such books, the reader is primed to accept that the detective's deduction on any given fact is the only possible conclusion. What follows is a fairly amusing indictment of traditional detective stories. On successive evenings, each member will then take the floor to share his or her conclusions in hopes that somewhere along the line they will solve it and hand it back over to the police. His latest idea is for them all to investigate a recent unsolved crime ("The Poisoned Chocolates Case") during the course of one week. Roger Sheringham has established a small club for people interested in criminology.
An interesting and well-written experimental sort of detective novel.
