Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1959, this is the autobiography of one of the greatest authorities ever on forensic medicine, who was a contemporary and, from time to time, a courtroom opponent of Sir Bernard Spilsbury. The author describes his early days in New Zealand, his days in Edinburgh and his First World War experiences in Egypt. In 1928 he returned to Edinburgh as Professor of Forensic Medicine and, from his unique knowledge and experience, wrote brilliant chapters in the annals of the British courts until his retirement in 1953. A gripping account of baffling murders solved in the laboratories by the greatest pathologist of our time. “The autobiography of a British expert in forensic medicine and ballistics and medico-legal testimony is a thoroughly absorbing book for those whose special interest is in true crime material [...] There’s humanity, humor and charm in the telling and followers of criminology should be pleased with this addition.”—Kirkus Review
Download or read book MOSTLY MURDER written by Elizabeth Brassington and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of short stories contains twelve murders which are dark, and with bizarre and unexpected endings. The villains are motivated by revenge and lack any feelings for their victims. The behaviour within the stories is so outrageous that the murderous activities described start to become humorous. In some the story-lines descend into pure farce. The collection sends up many of the characteristics of the classic ‘whodunnit’, such as having a quirky detective on the case. Several of the stories in the collection deal with actual and imagined deaths in a more serious tone and treat the perception of guilt within these situations. Some tales vividly portray real events which took place in the author’s childhood in Nottingham, and this personal experience provides an authentic background to the other fictional stories.

Download or read book Moonflower Murders written by Anthony Horowitz and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring his famous literary detective Atticus Pund and Susan Ryeland, hero of the worldwide bestseller Magpie Murders, a brilliantly complex literary thriller with echoes of Agatha Christie from New York Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz. Retired publisher Susan Ryeland is living the good life. She is running a small hotel on a Greek island with her long-term boyfriend Andreas. It should be everything she's always wanted. But is it? She's exhausted with the responsibilities of making everything work on an island where nothing ever does, and truth be told she's beginning to miss London. And then the Trehearnes come to stay. The strange and mysterious story they tell, about an unfortunate murder that took place on the same day and in the same hotel in which their daughter was married—a picturesque inn on the Suffolk coast named Farlingaye Hall—fascinates Susan and piques her editor’s instincts. One of her former writers, the late Alan Conway, author of the fictional Magpie Murders, knew the murder victim—an advertising executive named Frank Parris—and once visited Farlingaye Hall. Conway based the third book in his detective series, Atticus Pund Takes the Cake, on that very crime. The Trehearne’s, daughter, Cecily, read Conway’s mystery and believed the book proves that the man convicted of Parris’s murder—a Romanian immigrant who was the hotel’s handyman—is innocent. When the Trehearnes reveal that Cecily is now missing, Susan knows that she must return to England and find out what really happened. Brilliantly clever, relentlessly suspenseful, full of twists that will keep readers guessing with each revelation and clue, Moonflower Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage English crime fiction from one of its greatest masterminds, Anthony Horowitz.
