Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equal parts Sherlock Holmes and P.G. Wodehouse, Charles Finch's debut mystery A Beautiful Blue Death introduces a wonderfully appealing gentleman detective in Victorian London who investigates crime as a diversion from his life of leisure. Charles Lenox, Victorian gentleman and armchair explorer, likes nothing more than to relax in his private study with a cup of tea, a roaring fire and a good book. But when his lifelong friend Lady Jane asks for his help, Lenox cannot resist the chance to unravel a mystery. Prudence Smith, one of Jane's former servants, is dead of an apparent suicide. But Lenox suspects something far more sinister: murder, by a rare and deadly poison. The grand house where the girl worked is full of suspects, and though Prue had dabbled with the hearts of more than a few men, Lenox is baffled by the motive for the girl's death. When another body turns up during the London season's most fashionable ball, Lenox must untangle a web of loyalties and animosities. Was it jealousy that killed Prudence Smith? Or was it something else entirely? And can Lenox find the answer before the killer strikes again—this time, disturbingly close to home?

Book excerpt: The renowned thriller author turns his attention to true crime—while also taking shots at spies, Hollywood writers, and other subjects—in this collection of essays. Known for timeless thrillers including Epitaph for a Spy and Journey into Fear, Eric Ambler was a keen observer of rogues and rule-breakers of all kinds. In The Ability to Kill, he delves into some of the most intriguing and disturbing criminal cases of the last few hundred years. These include nineteenth-century Edinburgh’s Burke and Hare, who supplied a medical school with ill-gotten cadavers; Victorian London’s infamous Jack the Ripper; the Frenchman Henri Désiré Landru, an early twentieth-century serial killer; and the Californian doctor Bernard Finch and his lover Carole Tregoff, who conspired to murder his wife in 1961. Rounding out the collection are a few pieces on lighter topics such as spies and how to spot them, and novelists in Hollywood. Though his subjects are often grim, Ambler’s deft touch makes this examination of homicide and other matters a pure pleasure to read.
