The Mannequin and the Monkey
de R.N. Morris
Didier, 2011, 104 p.
London, the early 1900s. Amélie, the star model of the city's most opulent department store, is found murdered in her bedroom. The door was locked from the inside, and the only living thing in the room is a small monkey. Detective Silas Quinn of Scotland Yard is called in to investigate. Celebrated crime-writer R. N. Morris delivers a colourful, exuberant homage to the classic stories of Edgar Allen Poe and Conan Doyle in this ingenious mystery.
