Description - The Affair At The Semiramis Hotel by A E W Mason
A mésmerising puzzle wrapped in glamour and danger, The Affair At The Semiramis Hotel invites you to enter a world where whispers travel faster than truth. This is more than a story of crime and cunning. Mason threads classic detective fiction with an early twentieth century mystery, a stylish British thriller that uses a Cairo hotel setting to illuminate social class tension, romance and deception, and the quiet peril of secrets kept in the daylight. The pace balances meticulous deduction with human foibles, making the unraveling feel inevitable yet utterly enthralling for both casual readers and vintage mystery enthusiasts. It's not simply a reprint, but a thoughtfully crafted experience that rewards attention to character, mood, and motive. Historically significant and richly atmospheric, the work sits within a proud lineage-partly in the Wilkie Collins legacy, partly in oppenheim style intrigue-connecting Edwardian England to a broader landscape of mystery. Alpha Editions has restored this gem for today's readers and for future generations, preserving the cadence and texture that once defined the era. Out of print for decades and now revived, it's a collectors item and a cultural treasure that invites collectors edition enthusiasts to claim a piece of literary history. Designed for vintage mystery readers, it remains indispensable for anyone who loves hotel-related intrigue, sharp social observation, and the enduring pull of a finely plotted whodunit.
