"Curiously enough," said Dr. Manners, "I know a story in which the
detection of a murder turned on the behaviour of a bird: in this
instance a jackdaw." Since the dawn of the crime fiction genre,
animals of all kinds have played a memorable part in countless
mysteries, and in a variety of roles: the perpetrator, the key
witness, the sleuth's trusted companion. This collection of
fourteen stories corrals plots centred around cats, dogs and
insects alongside more exotic incidents involving gorillas,
parakeets and serpents - complete with a customary shoal of red
herrings. From the animal mysteries of Arthur Conan Doyle and F.
Tennyson Jesse through to more modern masterpieces of the sub-genre
from Christianna Brand and Penelope Wallace, this anthology
celebrates one of the liveliest and most imaginative species of
classic crime fiction.
