Charles Warren Adams
Charles Warren Adams (1833–1903) was an English lawyer, publisher and anti-vivisectionist, now known from documentary evidence to have been the author of ''The Notting Hill Mystery''.〔Paul Collins: "Before Hercule or Sherlock, There Was Ralph". ''The New York Times Book Review'', 7 January 2011.〕 This is usually taken to be the first full-length detective novel in English.〔Julian Symons: ''Bloody Murder: From the Detective Story to the Crime Novel'' (London: Faber and Faber, 1972). ISBN 978-0-571-09465-3. "There is no doubt that the first detective novel, preceding Collins and Gaboriau, was The Notting Hill Mystery" (p. 51).〕
==Novels==
As a lawyer Adams became involved in bailing out the once famous London publishing firm of Saunders, Otley & Co. after the two proprietors had died. The effort was unsuccessful and liquidation ensued in 1869, but in the meantime the firm had published at least two works of Adams's own, written under the pseudonym Charles Felix. One was a crime novel entitled ''Velvet Lawn'' (1864), and the other ''The Notting Hill Mystery'' (1865 in book form), which is thought to have been the first detective story of novel length.
''The Notting Hill Mystery'' had already appeared as a serial in ''Once a Week'' in 1862–63, illustrated by George Du Maurier (1834–1896), author of Trilby.〔Mike Ashly: "Introduction. Seeking the Evidence" In: ''The Notting Hill Mystery'' (London: The British Library, 2012.) ISBN 978-0-7123-5859-0. This facsimile edition is interleaved with the Du Maurier illustrations done for the original serial publication.〕 The Du Maurier illustrations also feature in the recent first Italian translation of the book〔''I misteri di Notting Hil'' (Castelvecchi, 2013).〕 and the first German translation of the book, by Boris Greff und Matthias Marx, which was published in 2014.〔''Das Mysterium von Notting Hill'' (Berlin: Die Andere Bibliothek, 2014).
