Both John Dickson Carr and Elliott Roosevelt create mysteries whose puzzles depend to a large degree on the location of the murder -- the so-called "locked room" puzzle. The atmosphere, character, and attention to the smallest detail are also similar in these authors' works. -- Katherine Johnson
Carr and Leroux write atmospheric locked room mysteries featuring lush descriptions, haunting tones, intricately plotted stories, and imaginative and outrageous puzzles that attentive readers might be able to solve if they catch all the clues. -- Derek Keyser
John Dickson Carr writes exquisitely crafted "locked room" mysteries with an eccentric detective. Carr's sloppy Gideon Fell presents a stark contrast to Agatha Christie's finicky Hercule Poirot. Similarly, however, Fell possesses a formidable intellect that seldom fails him in his investigations. The ingeniousness of Carr's plots rivals that of Christie. -- Kim Burton
These authors write intricately plotted and atmospheric mysteries in which the shrewd and intuitive investigator encounters creepy and claustrophobic situations, solves seemingly impossible cases, and provides logical explanations for seemingly supernatural phenomena. -- Derek Keyser
