"The Murder of Mrs. Ann Battersby" is a short story by John Dickson Carr, featuring Dr. Gideon Fell. In this tale, the wealthy and reclusive Mrs. Ann Battersby is found murdered in her home under mysterious circumstances. The case initially appears to be an open-and-shut case of a simple domestic crime, but Dr. Fell soon uncovers unsettling details that suggest otherwise. Through his keen powers of deduction, Fell reveals that the crime was not as straightforward as it seemed, and the solution lies in the hidden details of the murder scene. As with many of Carr's works, the story features intricate plotting, red herrings, and a surprising resolution.
