Tragedija u Tvelvtrisu

Tragedija u Tvelvtrisu

Arthur J. Rees

"The Tragedy at Tvelvtris" (1931) is a suspenseful crime story set in the English countryside. A suspenseful thriller that keeps the reader in suspense until the very last page, confirming Rees's skill in the mystery genre.

The story revolves around a mysterious death at the secluded country house of Twelvetrees, where a distinguished family is hiding dark secrets. The main character, an amateur detective, embarks on the investigation after a seemingly accidental death is revealed to be murder.

The story begins when a body is found, and suspicion falls on the family members and their loved ones. Rees masterfully builds tension, revealing layered relationships, ulterior motives, and past sins. As the detective pieces together the clues, he uncovers a web of intrigue, betrayal, and jealousy that binds the house's occupants. The key question – "How much would you sacrifice for a friend?" – runs through the story, exploring moral dilemmas and loyalty.

Rees's style combines the classic detective story with psychological depth, and the atmosphere of the country estate heightens the sense of claustrophobia and suspense. The novel is distinguished by its detailed descriptions of the English countryside and complex characters, while the denouement brings an unexpected twist, characteristic of Rees' crime works.
