I am pulling out Netgalley reads which I have had on my kindle for ages and for
whatever reason I have not read
These were fascinating stories - a collection of them discussed between two people
one an average narrator, the other quirky but clever who painstakingly shows in each case
who the murderer was,and how he got off. So all the stories are unusually of unsolved
crimes though the reader is shown explicitly who killed whom, how and why.
I did not realise that the person listening to the stories, bringing up each case was a
journalist and a female. All I knew was that the two characters did not like each other. There
was a condescending air to one, and a disparaging air to the other.
The mystery/murders are all vintage and very clearly outlined. An unusual way of
looking at murder.

Sounds like an interesting concept for a book.
ReplyDeleteI just read Baroness Orzcy's The Scarlet Pimpernel and totally loved it.
