The Kennel Murder Case (1933)

When the suave, sharp-witted private detective Philo Vance foregoes his grand European sea voyage, it's not without a gripping mystery to solve. Wealthy Archer Coe, a man of ruthless disposition with a plethora of enemies, is found dead in his locked bedroom - an ostensible suicide. Yet, the circumstances are too suspicious for the discerning Vance, who had only just encountered Coe at the Long Island Kennel Club. Despite the room's confinement, Coe was brimming with anticipation for his dog's potential victory in the upcoming competition. Vance swiftly descends on the crime scene, casting a skeptical eye over the apparent self-inflicted death. His doubt is soon validated when the Coroner uncovers that Coe suffered a blunt force trauma, a stab wound, and a gunshot — hardly the hallmarks of suicide. As the evidence seemingly points to Coe's brother, Brisbane, the plot thickens when he too is found brutally stabbed to death in a closet. With Archer Coe's enemies reveling in his demise and a murder scene locked from within, the intrigue escalates. Only one man can untangle this intricate web of deception and revenge — the captivating, debonair detective Philo Vance. The question is not just who would be glad to see Archer Coe dead, but who actually had the audacity to pull it off, and how they managed to orchestrate such an enigma in a room locked from the inside. The answers lie in the thrilling unraveling of The Kennel Murder Case, where every minute teems with suspense and every clue is a step deeper into a labyrinth of deceit.
