Summary
The Mystery Writers of America honoured John Dickson Carr with two Edgars (1950, 1970) and a Grand Masters Award (1963) in acknowledgement of his long career and contributions to mystery writing. Especially noteworthy across his 40 years of publishing were the innovations he made to the locked-room mystery genre. Though best known and celebrated for 1935's The Hollow Man , Carr's detective Gideon Fell appeared in over two-dozen works by the author. In this episode, Nick Anderson from "The Book Graveyard" joins LTP to discuss "He Who Whispers", one of Carr's most complex and intriguing whodunnits.
