Description

A 1933 mystery novel that defies conventions, 'Jumping Jenny' is a tightly paced tale of intrigue and deception. At a costume party with a dubious theme, amateur criminologist Roger Sheringham becomes embroiled in a real-life murder investigation when one guest is found hanging from the gallows on the roof terrace. As the police investigation unfolds, Sheringham's amateur sleuthing skills are put to the test as he uncovers clues that suggest a complex web of relationships and motives among the partygoers. With its clever plot twists and unexpected turns, this novel remains a milestone in the inverted mystery subgenre. A gripping and suspenseful read, 'Jumping Jenny' is a worthwhile read for fans of traditional detective fiction.
