About “Death Turns the Tables”
"Death Turns the Tables," published in 1941 and also titled "The Seat of the Scornful," is a detective novel by John Dickson Carr. The story is a whodunnit, focusing on the mystery of a crime rather than a locked-room puzzle, which is a common element in Carr's other works. The novel features Gideon Fell, Carr's recurring detective character, but does not include the author's typical locked-room mystery setup. It is one of Carr's earlier works in the detective genre.
