France is particularly noteworthy, producing works such as 19th century detective Lecoq (1869) by Emile Gaboriau (1832-73) and other works with the same detective as the protagonist, the classic locked-room murder novel The Yellow Room (1907) by Gaston Leroux (1868-1927), and the Arsène Lupin series by M. Leblanc (1864-1941), which is famous in Japan for its numerous tricks, although it cannot be called a full-fledged detective novel. We cannot forget the Inspector Maigret series by Georges Simenon (1903-89). … *Some of the terminology referenced in "The Yellow Room" is listed below.
