The Locked Library


What the infinite is in mathematics, the impossible is in the mystery story. There are formal similarities in the two concepts, as well. Both the impossible and the infinite are two of the deepest mysteries of their subjects, difficult concepts that puzzle and stimulate the intellects of all who study them. Studying them is like looking into a very deep well...”

- Mike Grost on “The Impossible Crime Movement

 

In 2022, I compiled “The Updated Mammoth List of My Favorite Tales of Locked Room Murders & Impossible Crimes” as a thorough, long overdue update of two older lists, “My Favorite Locked Room Mysteries I: The Novels” and “My Favorite Locked Room Mysteries II: Short Stories” – which needed another update. However, I didn't want to do another blog-post listing, but something like John Pugmire's 2007 “99 Novels for a Locked Room Library.” So decided to turn this update into an updateable companion page to “The Muniment Room.”

It turned out to be less work than expected, mostly having to add, remove and move titles around the various categories: 

 

The Antediluvians (Pre-1920)

The Golden Age (1920-49)

The Golden Age: The Twilight Years (1950-59)

The Post-Golden Age (1960-2014)

The 1980s Revival

The Golden Age/Locked Room Revival (2015-Present)

The Pulps & Alternative, Pulp-Style Locked Rooms

Historicals

Juvenile Delinquents

Non-English & Translations

Hybrid Miracles

Curiosities & Oddities

Removed

 

Each category is split into two sections, novels and short stories. Only real challenge was figuring where to place certain titles that could have fitted into more than one category. For example, should Masahiro Imamura go into the “Non-English & Translations” or “Hybrid Miracles,” but eventually that worked itself out as this update began to take shape. What's still lacking is perhaps an “Other Media,” but I'm perhaps not the most qualified to compile such a list. Not to mention anime and manga would require a page of its own. So no idea if either is ever going to be part of this or a separate list, but, for now, there's this updateable list that can easily be edited a year, or two, down the road.
