Murder at Graylyn

Murder mysteries, also known as crime fiction, continue to be popular with dinner parties, games and weekend-long events. The crime fiction genre dates back to the 1800s. The earliest known crime fiction was authored by Steen Steensen Blicher, "The Rector of Veilbye" in 1829. The early dark works of author, Edgar Allan Poe, are more well-known such as "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841). The genre was not taken seriously until the early 1900s with "The Three Apples" and "One Thousand and One Nights". However, the genre was popularized with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson mulling over whodunit to solve their case.
