J. Jefferson Farjeon (1883–1955) was the author of more than 60 crime and thriller novels. His work was highly acclaimed in his day; Dorothy L. Sayers wrote that ‘Jefferson Farjeon is quite unsurpassed for creepy skill in mysterious adventures’. Farjeon is now best known as the author of Number Seventeen, a play that was adapted for the big screen by Alfred Hitchcock.
'The horror on the train, great though it may turn out to be, will not compare with the horror that exists here, in this house.’
On Christmas Eve, heavy snowfall brings a train to a halt near the village of Hemmersby. Several passengers take shelter in a deserted country house, where the fire has been lit and the table laid for tea – but no one is at home.
Trapped together for Christmas, the passengers are seeking to unravel the secrets of the empty house when a murderer strikes in their midst.
This classic Christmas mystery is republished for the first time since the 1930s, with an introduction by the award-winning crime writer Martin Edwards.
Mystery in White is is the 12th title in the British Library crime classics series. Also available as an ebook here

氣氛還不錯,沒有什麼詭計,與其說是偵探小說不如說是冒險故事。簡介【http://www.douban.com/note/476995161/】 Fang大所寫簡介【http://lockedroom.net/blog/?p=1420】
評分怪不得bobo和fang大都說像《啤酒之傢》,綫索寥寥的情況下,推理幾乎全靠腦補,倒也不得不說很是精彩。本書的真相很是復雜,多個事件交織,plot也難免存在部分巧閤。故事有趣,氣氛尚佳,前段略顯拖遝。
評分忘掉我之前關於暴風雪山莊的評語吧!這本就是黃金時期版的啤酒之傢的冒險和nine miles walk。氣氛一流,中段腦洞大開的推理也很有趣,plot也相當復雜。可惜某條伏綫收的不那麼給力不然稱為神作也不為過
評分氣氛營造的很好,看完之後晚上夢到自己在雪地裏打轉兒,把我給急的~
