The shooting party by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

"The Shooting Party" by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is a novel published in 1884. Chekhov's only full-length novel unfolds as a manuscript submitted to a publisher, recounting a mysterious murder during a hunting party in provincial Russia. When an estate forester's daughter is found stabbed to death in the woods, suspicion falls on her husband. But as the investigation proceeds, questions arise about who truly committed the crime in this innovative early detective story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
