Abstract to the book "The Riddle of the Red Widow" by J. D. Carr: The Golden Age of the detective left many star names — A. Christie, G. K. Chesterton, G. Mitchell, etc. In this bright galaxy, John Dixon Carr (1906-1977) occupies the most honorable place. "Murder in a locked room", where there is no place for frenzied chases and shootings, and the circle of suspects is as limited as possible, is the author's favorite plot. Carr engages the reader in an artful game, luring them into a network of cleverly placed traps, false hints, deceptive moves and subtle hints, and offers to take part in solving an ingenious puzzle. This collection contains the novels "Murders in the Plague Yard", "Murders in the White Monastery" and "The Mystery of the Red Widow", which were written in the 1930s under the pseudonym Carter Dixon and open a series of books about the magnificent Sir Henry Merrivale — a charming, eccentric, flighty fat man who became, according to critics, one of the most extraordinary detectives in detective literature.
