"The Poisoned Chocolates Case" is a classic detective novel written by Anthony Berkeley. The story revolves around the murder of Sir Eustace Pennefather, who is believed to have been poisoned by a box of chocolates. Six amateur detectives, all members of the Crimes Circle, are called upon to solve the mystery. Each detective presents their own theory of the crime, and the novel explores various scenarios and potential culprits. The book cleverly challenges the conventions of detective fiction by offering multiple solutions and perspectives on the case, making it a brilliant and innovative example of the "inverted detective story." It's a thought-provoking and entertaining exploration of the detective genre.
