The De Bercy Affair
批評家のレビュー
First published in 1910, this work is part of Gordon Holmes's Winter and Furneaux mystery series. Jack de Golia narrates the brief yet complex story of the murder of French actress Rose de Bercy. Chief Inspector Winter is flummoxed due to the many suspects. When Winter's partner, DI Furneux, enters the picture, events and motives begin to coalesce. De Golia changes his voice and pacing to meet the demands of the plot, but his voices for the many characters offer little distinction between speakers. The somewhat dated language places the story appropriately in the past, as do the suspects, who include a wealthy American, a vengeful anarchist, and Furneaux himself. A tidy mystery for fans of the series. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2021]
あらすじ・解説
The brutal murder of the well-known French actress Rose de Bercy has rocked London. But when Chief Inspector Winter investigates, he finds himself facing more complications than expected. It doesn’t take long to discover Mademoiselle de Bercy was not who she had appeared to be, and her past is a mystery, too.
Truly knowing who she was would affect solving her murder: was the murderer an anarchist bent on revenge, a rich American who believes he was her fiancé, or, as Winter comes to suspect, someone much closer, namely his own right-hand man, Detective Inspector Furneaux? With everyone involved working at cross-purposes, even within Scotland Yard, Winter had his work cut out for him as he seeks justice.
The author, Louis Tracy (1863-1928), was a British journalist who used the pseudonyms Gordon Holmes (as he did for The De Bercy Affair) and Robert Fraser.
The De Bercy Affair was published in 1910 as a serial in Gunter’s Magazine, later renamed the New Magazine.
The story also appears in October 1910 as a book, illustrated by Howard Chandler Christy, and published by Edward J. Clode of New York.
