"Gaston Leroux's landmark tale of foul play, deception, and unbridled ambition remains a blueprint for the detective novel genre."
"How could a murder take place in a locked room, which shows no sign of being entered? The novel is also about the rivalry to solve the case between a detective, Frédéric Larson, and a young investigative journalist, Joseph Rouletabille. Larson finds a suspect who is put on trial, only to have him cleared by Rouletabille, who reveals in the most dramatic fashion the identity of the real murderer."@en
"The Mystery of the Yellow Room is Gaston Leroux's masterpiece, and it turned out to be his most successful book during his lifetime. It is one of the classics of early-twentieth-century detective fiction. At the heart of the novel is this enigma: how could a murder take place inside a locked room that shows no sign of being entered? The novel is also about the rivalry between the detective Frederick Larson and a young investigative journalist, Rouletabille, to solve the case. Larson finds a suspect who is put on trial, only to have him cleared by Rouletabille, who reveals in the most dramatic fashion the identity of the real murderer. This atmospheric thriller is still a favorite of whodunit fans everywhere."@en

Larsan finds a suspect who is put on trial, only to have him cleared by Rouletabille, who reveals in the most dramatic fashion the identity of the real murderer. In Joseph Rouletabille, Gaston Leroux has created one of the most astute and brilliant detectives in European fiction. Rouletabille earns his living as a newspaper reporter, and he is notable for his ordinariness, making him different from Edgar Allan Poe's Chevalier Dupin and Author Donan Coyle's Sherlock Holmes. But like Dupin and Holmes, he too has his faithful cohort, his admiring friend Sainclair. Although Rouletabille is young, his pronouncements often resemble those of his famous predecessors: "The evidence supplied by the senses only is no proof at all," he remarks."

"This novel - the classic French detective story, was written in 1907 by Gaston Leroux, once a reporter who covered the famous trials of his time. (He also wrote "The Phantom of the opera") Match your wits with his rival detectives, one amateur, one professional, as they try to crack the mystery. Mademoiselle Stangerson retires to bed in the yellow room. Suddenly revolver shots echo through the house and she screams for help. Her father and a servant run to the locked room where they find the wounded girl - alone. The only other exit, a window - barred. How had the assailant escaped?"@en
