Download or read book The Tall House Mystery Musaicum Murder Mysteries written by Dorothy Fielding and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ghost prank by a bunch of youngster goes horribly wrong when one of them gets fatally injured by a loaded revolver. Was it really an accident or was it a pre-planned murder? Excerpt: "Moy was about the same age, around twenty-five; small of stature, quick and eager in eye and movement. Tark, the third man, struck such a different note that at first glance one would have taken him for a foreigner. Moy liked Haliburton, but he did not care for his companion, whom he had met in his company a couple of times lately. But, though he did not like Tark, Moy was interested in the man. For the young solicitor was writing a play in secret, and was keenly interested in finding characters for it. Haliburton, he had decided, was no earthly good to a writer. Rich. Easy going. Kindly...but this other, the chap with the name that suited him somehow—because it rhymed with shark probably, Moy decided—he might be very useful. He turned to him now."

Download or read book Realist Cinema as World Cinema written by Lúcia Nagib and published by Film Culture in Transition. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the bold and original proposal to replace the general appellation of 'world cinema' with the more substantive concept of 'realist cinema'. Veering away from the usual focus on modes of reception and spectatorship, it locates instead cinematic realism in the way films are made. The volume is structured across three innovative categories of realist modes of production: 'non-cinema', or a cinema that aspires to be life itself; 'intermedial passages', or films that incorporate other artforms as a channel to historical and political reality; and 'total cinema', or films moved by a totalising impulse, be it towards the total artwork, total history or universalising landscapes. Though mostly devoted to recent productions, each part starts with the analysis of foundational classics, which have paved the way for future realist endeavours, proving that realism is timeless and inherent in cinema from its origin.

Book excerpt: An odd elderly man is found dead at an obscure country hotel. It would be most convenient if his overdose of sleeping medication were just an accident or even suicide. But is it that simple? Or is there a cold-blooded murderer at work? His family stands to lose a tidy sum in insurance money if the verdict is suicide--and the family can definitely use the money. Contrary to most mysteries where no one wants a murder to have happened, the heirs begin drumming up evidence to try to prove foul play. The amateur "sleuths" do find some interesting clues, but while they're beavering away, Inspector Mallett of Scotland Yard is following his own line of investigation.

This complicates his otherwise idyllic existence. Further, things get worse: a murder occurs, and Peter has to try hard to solve the mystery for the sake of his own life.
