The Bride of Newgate

Blurb

The Bride of Newgate, first published in 1950, is a historical whodunnit novel by John Dickson Carr which does not feature any of Carr's series detectives. Set in England in 1815, the book combines two literary genres, historical fiction and the whodunit/detective story, and after Agatha Christie's 1944 mystery Death Comes as the End is only the second novel to do so.
