Lord Arthur Savile's Crime

by Oscar Wilde
Lord Arthur Savile's Crime - Thryft
Lord Arthur Savile's Crime - Thryft

Witty tale of murder and high society.

This book is perfect for readers who enjoy dark humor and satire. The most unique feature of the book is how Wilde masterfully combines murder with comedy, resulting in a hilarious and thrilling read. The plot twists are unexpected and will keep readers engaged until the very end.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
