Tracks in the Snow is a 1906 detective novel by the British writer and politician Godfrey Benson. It was his only crime novel, he later became better known for his non-fiction woks such as biographies of Abraham Lincoln (1916) and Theodore Roosevelt (1923). A popular success it was republished in 1928, but later fell into obscurity. Martin Edwards included it in his list of a hundred classic crime novels, noting "Benson's thoughtful, well-crafted prose, his insights into human behaviour, and the way in which the story touches on issues such as free will and the ramifications of Britain's imperial past combine to make his brief venture into the crime genre notable".

  • Tracks in the Snow is a 1906 detective novel by the British writer and politician Godfrey Benson. It was his only crime novel, he later became better known for his non-fiction woks such as biographies of Abraham Lincoln (1916) and Theodore Roosevelt (1923). A popular success it was republished in 1928, but later fell into obscurity. Martin Edwards included it in his list of a hundred classic crime novels, noting "Benson's thoughtful, well-crafted prose, his insights into human behaviour, and the way in which the story touches on issues such as free will and the ramifications of Britain's imperial past combine to make his brief venture into the crime genre notable". Set in 1896 the story is narrated by Robert Driver, a rector in rural England, and recounts a recent dinner party hosted by the former diplomat Eustace Peters at his country estate. The following morning Peters is found in his bed, stabbed to death. The footprints in the thick snow outside appear to implicate the gardener Reuben Trethewy of murder. The case takes Driver more than a year to solve, eventually turning out to be connected to Peters life abroad. (en)
