Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Dr. Basil Bowen, the new Chairman of the English Department at Merryvale College, is murdered during the Canterbury Faire, an annual reenactment of Chaucer's Prologue of The Canterbury Tales; Dr. Emily Goldman, medieval scholar and popular professor on campus, helps police discover the identity of the killer and clears the name of one of her favorite students. Set on a small campus in central Alabama, most people assume Dr. Emily lives in her own little world of academia; however, she is a modern woman, a realist when it comes to "the way of the world." As she explains to her brilliant protege: "Jud, there is nothing you can tell me that will shock me. You may think that I've led a fairly sheltered life, but remember I'm a scholar of literature and history. I know all about man's inhumanity to man." But even Dr. Emily is shocked when the motivation and the identity of the murderer are finally revealed. Readers of mysteries and the classics will fall in love with Dr. Emily and her adored Scottie, Maxwell of Dumfries, better known as Max. She and Jess Thornton, a sexy Chief of Campus Police, are a formidable team."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the travellers set out on their pilgrimage, the first tale of death and deceit falls to the Knight... Paul Doherty relates the Knight's tale in An Ancient Evil - a tale of mystery and murder as he goes on pilgrimage from London to Canterbury. Perfect for fans of Ellis Peters and Susanna Gregory. As the travellers gather in the Tabard Inn at the start of a pilgrimage to pray before the blessed bones of St Thomas à Becket in Canterbury, they agree eagerly to host Harry's suggestion of amusing themselves on each day of their journey with one tale, and each evening with another - but the latter to be of mystery, terror and murder. The Knight begins that evening: his tale opens with the destruction of a sinister cult at its stronghold in the wilds of Oxfordshire by Sir Hugo Mortimer during the reign of William the Conqueror, and then moves to Oxford some two hundred years later where strange crimes and terrible murders are being committed. The authorities seem powerless but Lady Constance, Abbess of the Convent of St Anne's, believes the murders are connected with the legends of the cult and she petitions the King for help. As the murders continue unabated, special commissioner Sir Godfrey Evesden and royal clerk Alexander McBain uncover clues that lead to a macabre world sect, which worships the dark lord. But they can find no solution to a series of increasingly baffling questions, and matters are not helped by the growing rift between Sir Godfrey and McBain for the hand and favour of the fair Lady Emily... What readers are saying about Canterbury Tales Mysteries: 'Simply one of the best books ever written' 'An intriguing tale which keeps one entertained up to the last page' 'Spellbinding'

Download or read book Women and Murder in Early Modern News Pamphlets and Broadside Ballads 1573 1697 written by Randall Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As voyeuristic and prurient as today's tabloid newspapers, early modern crime pamphlets and broadside ballads about women murderers tell of furtive love affairs and domestic poisonings, of battered wives who kill their abusive husbands, and of troubled mothers who murder their children. On first acquaintance, many pamphlets leave an impression of shallow sensationalism yoked to idealised repentance, and for that reason modern critics and historians have often discounted their importance as culturally significant artifacts. This volume presents a selection of over forty texts and is intended to encourage a reconsideration of these views. In his Introductory Note to the volume, Randall Martin discusses the narrative content and social commentary of these ballads, pamphlets and trial reports, and the contribution that they make to the discursive construction of the early modern female murderer through their representational strategies and evolving legal and gender contexts.
