For Agatha Christie readers...

Here are three lesser-known mystery novels from the early 1900s! Each book is packed with fast-paced action, suspense, and a thrilling conclusion. In a similar style to The Prisoner of Zenda or a Miss Marple Mystery, each will be sure to entertain classical literature enthusiasts.

The 39 Steps by John Buchan

Adventurer Richard Hannay, having just returned from South Africa, is thoroughly bored with London life -- until he is accosted by a mysterious American man, who warns him of an assassination plot that could completely destabilise the fragile political balance of Europe. Initially sceptical, Hannay nonetheless harbours the man -- but one day returns home to find the man murdered. Since he is an obvious suspect, Hannay flees to his native Scotland, pursued by both the police and a cunning, ruthless enemy. His life and the security of Britain are in grave peril, and everything rests on the solution to a baffling enigma: what are the 'thirty nine steps?'

The Abandoned Room by Wadsworth Camp

Bobby Blackburn can remember the first part of the evening when his grandfather was murdered. The problem is, he cannot remember what happened the rest of the night or how he ended up in the neighbourhood of his grandfather's house the next morning. Can he clear his name? Why did their grandfather mysteriously die in a room where two other men died tragic deaths? And what are the sounds coming from the dead man's room?

In the Dead of Night by John T. McIntyre

Kenyon is a soldier freshly home from war. But as soon as he steps foot at his destination, he is accosted by a strange woman who believes he has come to protect her grandfather's legacy from cut-throat business partners. Kenton does not know who her grandfather is or why Kenyon was asked to be involved. And yet, as Kenyon meets the man on his death bed, he commissions Kenyon to marry the strange woman and to be prepared to kill for his mysterious mission. Without revealing his confusion, he must stay ahead of the game in order to protect his- and his new fiancée's -- life.
