Herbert Adams (1874–1958) was an English writer of fifty 'cosy' mystery novels, mostly featuring the detective Roger Bennion, which were often set in or around golfing competitions. He also wrote short stories, humorous verse and two other mystery novels under the pseudonym Jonathan Gray.
Tüüpiline muhe kriminull XX sajandi algupoolelt. Tegelased kõrgklassi hulgast, tegevus toimub mõisas või lossi, mõrvar on keegi sinna tulnud seltskonnast. Sobiv kerge lugemine neile, kes eelistavad just sellises klassikalises stiilis kriminaalromaane.
