		Bencolin was even spotted in some of Carr's earlier college stories published in the school newspaper, "The Haverfordian." (It may surprise you to learn that John Dickson Carr was American).
		The window to the card room was absolutely inaccessible and had not been entered, and there were no secret passages by which an entrance could be made through the walls.
		In his Bencolin novels, Carr seems fond of spectacularly gory murders and lurid settings for his Satanic detective.

	Kingsley Amis on Carr
		Carr had already settled on his specialty—the locked room problem—but not much else; his earlier novels (1930-2) are melodramatic in style, have harrowing bits in them and feature a tiresomely flamboyant French detective, Henri Bencolin.
		The Dickson novels naturally display a different detective, the eccentric Sir Henry Merrivale, Bt., who seems to many readers as tiresome as Bencolin in his way, and also out of drawing.
		There are four Bencolin stories, the first of which demonstrates most expertly and precociously how to get out of a locked room unseen by a dozen close-to witnesses.

		The origins of Monsieur Henri Bencolin can be found in the early short stories penned by Carr while he was the editor of The Haverfordian, a monthly literary journal of Haverford College.
		Bencolin is but vaguely described in this early versions: about thiry years of age, shabbily dressed, bearded and stooped, and with kindly eyes.
		Bencolin is a Paris Police Prefect in the shorter astories but is promoted to a police magistrate of the Surete in the novels.The other novels featuring Bencolin include 'Lost Gallows', 'Castle Skull', 'The Corpse in the Waxworks' and revived once more in 'Four False Weapons'(1937)

		Carr brought Bencolin back for one more sensational case -- the mystery of "The Four False Weapons." And it proved to be the cleverest, most fascinating, Bencolin story of all.
		Bencolin was supposed to have retired -- or so he said.
		He had his reasons, and quite soon he deciced that he knew who the murderer must be.

	Amazon.ca: Customer Reviews Books: Castle Skull (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Bencolin matches wits with Baron von Arnheim, his German counterpart in the spying game from WW1.
		There is also a cast of rich, decadent, and/or eccentric Americans, British, French, and Belgians who inhabit a mansion across the Rhine from Castle Skull, most of whom are suspected, in turn, of torching the actor, Alison after shooting him three times with a Mauser.
		The cigar-smoking, poker-playing Duchess who owns the mansion across the river from Castle Skull calls her two detectives 'Glass-eye' (did I mention von Arnheim's monocle?) and 'Devil-face,' although M. Bencolin is actually at his most human in this story, in spite of his morbid surroundings.

	John Dickson Carr
		Bencolin is largely an apprentice character, and Patrick Butler's sole solo novel is not distinguished.
		He is also 100% British, like the other Realist school detectives, and unlike Carr's earlier French sleuth Henri Bencolin.
		One might note that Carr's reputation as a detective writer was not made with his early, extravagantly gothic Bencolin novels (1930 - 1932), nor with the impossible crime stories of 1934 - 1945 on which so much of his current reputation rests.

	The Ministry of Miracles
		John Dickson Carr (alias Carter Dickson, alias Carr Dickson, alias Roger Fairbairn) was perhaps the greatest deviser of murderous plots, of titanic misdirection, of surprising villains, of impossible murders, of supernatural atmospheres, of frightening and fantastic characters, and of high comedy cheek-by-jowl with passages of spine-chilling terror.
		His series detectives were the Chestertonian Dr. Gideon Fell; the loud and irascible Sir Henry Merrivale, based on Mycroft Holmes with a dash of Winston Churchill; and the Satanic Henri Bencolin.
		Centenary: John Dickson Carr was born Nov. 30, 1906.

		Bencolin was inconsistently depicted in Carr's career, from the down-to-earth and sympathetic man of the early stories, through the devilish Machiavellian head of the Paris police, to this kindly humorous person.
		(Contains several Bencolin short stories written when JDC was at Haverford College, immature, but fun; also some radio plays, ghost stories, and essays; but the Bencolins are not that great being very derivative of contemporary stuff -- still, see below)

	Whodunit? - Writers part 1
		From 1969 until his death, he wrote "The Jury Box," a mystery review column in EQMM.
		Carr created four distinct, and distinctly likable detectives: Henri Bencolin and Dr. Gideon Fell under his own name, and Sir Henry Merrivale and Colonel March as Dickson.
		What is even more remarkable is that they remain distinguishable even though they all meet the same type of cases (impossible crimes) and tend to serve the same function in the structure of the story.
