"The Poisoned Chocolates Case" by Anthony Berkeley is a mystery novel written in the late 1920s. The story centers around Roger Sheringham, a detective fiction author and president of a crime-themed society called the Crimes Circle. During one of their meetings, he proposes that the Club investigate the mysterious murder of Mrs. Graham Bendix, suggesting that their enthusiasm and intellect could yield results where the police have failed. The opening portion of the book introduces the Crimes Circle and its members, who are captivated by Sheringham's proposal to delve into the murder case. The chapter establishes a vibrant atmosphere filled with intellectual camaraderie, where dedicated detectives and writers gather to share theories without the constraints of traditional police work. As they discuss their ideas, Sheringham reveals that the police have given up hope of solving the case, allowing the Circle to take over and pursue their own investigations, laying the groundwork for a classic whodunit.
