Does anyone have recommendations for favorite locked room mysteries (both short stories and novels)?
Note: I'm using the term "locked room" -- but the term "impossible crime" works as well. The locked room might be a locked room in a mansion or a locked compartment on a train. Some experts also include crimes that occur in a remote location. (But others believe those should be called
"closed circle mysteries" instead.)
John Dickson Carr ends up on many lists of favorite authors of locked room mysteries, so I picked up some of his books recently. I still have to read them, of course.
I also recently picked up books like "The Black Lizard Big Book of Locked-Room Mysteries" and "Golden Age Locked Room Mysteries" -- so if your favorites are short stories, they might already be in there.
