MP3 CD, [EAN: 9781775428916], IDB Productions, IDB Productions, Book, [PU: IDB Productions], IDB Productions, Trent's Last Case is a detective story written by Edmund Clerihew Bentley, first published in 1913, and the very first story to feature the gentleman sleuth Philip Trent.The story is exceptional in many ways. The detective collects all the right evidence to solve the case, but he draws the wrong conclusions, what's more, he falls in love with the principal suspect. The case he investigates is the murder of a high profile businessman who gets shot in his own estate in the countryside.As an interesting twist - and one that has been used in many great detective stories since then - Trent is told about the logical errors he makes during his argumentation by the person who committed the murder. Though his logic is faulty at times, he is not less ingenious than any other amateur detectives in the history of the genre. He discovers several clues and discrepancies simply by reading about the murder in a newspaper. When in the end the amateur detective finds out how and by whom the murder was committed, he swears never to try to investigate a case ever again - promise that he breaks several times in the future, being Bentley's favorite detective in a number of stories to come.The novel was highly praised by Raymond Chandler, Dorothy Sayers and other masters of detective fiction for its complicated plot and insightful character building. Trent has an optimistic, cheerful and light-hearted take on the world - quite the opposite of the detached cynicism we know so well from Sherlock Holmes - and his attitude makes the novel a cheerfully entertaining story as well.The well-penned plot and the well-rounded characters make the novel the perfect choice for adaptations - it was made into a silent film in 1920, another in 1929, and there is a more recent adaptation as well, from 1952, starring Orson Welles., 1025612, Subjects, 349777011, Antiquarian, Rare & Collectable, 91, Art, Architecture & Photography, 67, Biography, 68, Business, Finance & Law, 507848, Calendars, Diaries & Annuals, 69, Children's Books, 274081, Comics & Graphic Novels, 71, Computing & Internet, 72, Crime, Thrillers & Mystery, 496792, Education Studies & Teaching, 62, Fiction, 66, Food & Drink, 275835, Gay & Lesbian, 74, Health, Family & Lifestyle, 65, History, 64, Home & Garden, 63, Horror, 89, Humour, 275738, Languages, 61, Mind, Body & Spirit, 73, Music, Stage & Screen, 275389, Poetry, Drama & Criticism, 59, Reference, 58, Religion & Spirituality, 88, Romance, 5106747031, School Books, 57, Science & Nature, 4034595031, Science Fiction & Fantasy, 564334, Scientific, Technical & Medical, 60, Society, Politics & Philosophy, 55, Sports, Hobbies & Games, 83, Travel & Holiday, 52, Young Adult, 266239, Books<
