Autorenporträt
R. Austin Freeman (1862-1943) was a prominent British writer primarily known for his detective stories featuring the medico-legal forensic investigator Dr. John Thorndyke. He had not just a flair for crafting engaging mysteries but also a professional background in medicine that lent credence to his work. Freeman graduated from the Middlesex Hospital Medical School and became a colonial surgeon before turning to writing after his return to England. His character Thorndyke, introduced in his first novel 'The Red Thumb Mark' (1907), embodies Freeman's medical expertise and is distinguished by his scientific approach to crime solving, a significant innovation in the genre. The novel 'The Mystery of 31 New Inn' stands testament to Freeman's skillful interweaving of medicine and mystery, a hallmark of his literary style. Freeman's writing was known for its well-constructed plots, attention to detail, and the use of the 'inverted detective story' format, wherein the audience witnesses the crime before following the detective's investigation. His narratives were pioneering for their time, influencing the evolution of forensic science in fiction. Beyond the Thorndyke series, Freeman authored several other mystery novels, short stories, and even historical fiction, showcasing his versatility as an author. His contribution to the detective genre continues to be recognized by literary scholars and mystery aficionados alike.
