Considered by many to be the first modern mystery novel, Trent's Last Case introduces the gentleman sleuth Philip Trent, a freelance reporter and investigator. Trent becomes involved in the case of the murder of millionaire American financier Sigsbee Manderson, slain while on holiday in England. During the course of his investigation, Trent falls in love with one of the primary suspects. And while he collects evidence and becomes convinced that he has cracked the case, he turns out to be well off the mark when the real murderer tells Trent just how wrong his conclusions were. An inspiration to writers like Agatha Christie and G. K. Chesterton Trent's Last Case is a classic of the mystery genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Early Classic
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2011
Verified Purchase
A cleverly plotted classic murder mystery with several twists, a very competent detective who is not infallible, and a romance that's a bit of a stretch. Bentley's writing style's dated, but that's perhaps to be expected in this much emulated pre-World War I story. Necessary reading for anyone interested in detective fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty, clever, and profound
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2013

If you like Agatha Christie and Sherlock you'll love this one.
A stylish, complex story with plenty of surprises.
And a brilliant sleuth who still has plenty to learn--and learns much of it.
The story keeps getting richer and funnier all the way to the end.
(The Kindle version is great.)

Twisting plot. Surprised more than once. Also enjoyed writing style. Gripping, has kept me up well past my bedtime. Will look for more books by this author.

2.0 out of 5 stars “It’s a book, Jim, but not as we know it…”
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 2, 2021

Please note - this is NOT a literary review!!

I’m a huge fan of “old” crime fiction. I’m also a crime author; and, I love books…I thought I’d ordered one but, instead, I got a slightly-oversized, poorish-quality pamphlet-style (too many hyphens there…) publication, with large, crammed pages and small (8 point?) text. Although I’ve been refunded & allowed to retain, I will be re-ordering a “proper” book as I wouldn’t enjoy reading this.
Very disappointing and I’d imagine poor old EC Bentley is spinning in his grave…
