It has been called the first detective novel.Published as an eight-part serial in "Once a Week" magazine, and only later in book form, the novel was illustrated by George du Maurier (grandfather of Daphne du Maurier).Rather than by a narrative, either in first or third person, the story is told by a series of documents compiled by Ralph Henderson, an insurance investigator.
The Notting Hill Mystery (Illustrated Edition)
Charles Felix was the pseudonym of lawyer Charles Warren Adams. This book, first serialised in "Once a Week" from 1862-63 then published in book form in 1865, has been hailed as the first full-length work of detective fiction, predating Wilkie Collins and Emile Gaboriau. This edition includes the original illustrations by George du Maurier which accompanied the serialisation.
