作者简介
Joseph Smith Fletcher (1863–1935) was a prolific English journalist and author, well regarded for his contributions to the detective fiction genre. Born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, Fletcher drew from his native county's landscapes and history to enrich his narratives, reflected in works such as 'Scarhaven Keep' (1922). His vast oeuvre, spanning more than 200 books, reveals a versatility ranging from historical fiction to country life, but his legacy principally rests upon his mastery in crafting detective mysteries that have captivated readers worldwide (Evans, 1946; Ashley, 1977). Fletcher's storytelling is marked by cleverly woven plots, local color, and keen insight into human nature, features readily apparent in 'Scarhaven Keep'. This novel exemplifies Fletcher's skill in blending suspense with a vivid portrayal of English coastal life in the post-Victorian era. His protagonist, Inspector Richard Copplestone, much like Fletcher's other series detectives, embodies a sharp intellect and resourcefulness that resonates with enthusiasts of the genre (Morgan, 1955). Fletcher's influence is observed in the works of contemporaries and later mystery writers, who have taken cues from his tight narrative style and intricate plotting (Haining, 1989). Fletcher's works remain a significant part of early 20th-century British literature and continue to be studied for their contribution to the development of detective fiction.
