Bob Adey’s Locked Room Murders 1991 Republished!

It is with great pride that LRI republishes Bob Adey’s classic bibliography at a price ($19.99) which makes it available to all, thanks to kind permission from Sue Adey.

All the titles in the 1991 edition are here, with summaries and, separately, solutions to 2019 novels and short stories. Brian Skupin, LRI consultant and co-publisher of Mystery Scene has done a phenomenal job of correcting errors in the text and adding references posted after 1991.

Hitherto impossible to find or hideously expensive, there is no longer any excuse for locked room/impossible crime enthusiasts to be without it.

And, in 2019, LRI plans a Supplemental Edition to include novels and short stories (including translations from sources outside the Anglosphere) published since 1991, films, TV series, graphic novels, and other media. It will not contain any of the titles in the Second Edition, Revised.

There are no plans at this stage for ebook editions of either book.

  1. That’s great news! Thanks for all your effort to revive old books and translate the ones out of reach. Big fan of LRI’s publications, especially the honkaku. Keep up the good fight!
