The Notting Hill Mystery
The Notting Hill Mystery (1862–1863) is an English-language detective novel written under the pseudonym Charles Felix, with illustrations by George du Maurier. The author's identity was never revealed, but several critics have suggested posthumously Charles Warren Adams (1833–1903),[1][2] a lawyer known to have written other novels under pseudonyms. It is seen as one of the first detective novels in the English language, if not the first.[3][4]
