QR code
"The Eyes Have It" by Randall Garrett is a science fiction murder mystery written in the early 1960s. The story unfolds in a world where magic rather than physical science has developed, intertwining elements of fantasy and detective fiction. The book centers around the murder of Count D'Evreux, exploring themes of magic, betrayal, and the implications of beauty as perceived by different characters. The narrative begins with the shocking discovery of Count
D'Evreux's lifeless body, prompting an investigation led by Lord Darcy, Chief Criminal Investigator for His Highness, the Duke of Normandy. As the plot thickens, Darcy uncovers a web of seduction, jealousy, and dark magic that intertwines the fates of the Count, his sister Alice, and the Duncan couple visiting the castle. Each character's true motivations and past grievances come to light, leading to a climactic revelation about the identity of the true murderer and the underlying motivations driving these relationships. With elements of sorcery and the exploration of human emotions, "The Eyes Have It" is a compelling narrative that challenges readers to consider the perceptions and judgments we place upon each other.
