Sinossi

In "My Friend The Murderer," Arthur Conan Doyle presents a gripping exploration of the complexities of human nature through the lens of crime and moral ambiguity. This novella serves as a precursor to his later, more polished detective works, showcasing Doyle's dexterous prose that blends vivid imagery with psychological depth. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of an unnamed protagonist who grapples with the unsettling duality of sympathy towards a murderer, challenging the readers to consider the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, this work reflects contemporary societal anxieties surrounding justice and morality. Arthur Conan Doyle, a physician and prolific writer, was deeply influenced by the Victorian era's fascination with criminal psychology and the legal system. His experiences as a doctor, along with a keen interest in the workings of the mind and morality, undoubtedly inspired this exploration of the darker aspects of human relationships. Doyle's ability to incisively capture the essence of his characters' inner turmoil reveals a preoccupation with the moral quandaries of his time, providing a rich context for the narrative. This captivating tale is highly recommended for readers interested in psychological thrillers, crime fiction, or those who appreciate the intricate interplay of morality and justice. Doyle's compelling prose and thought-provoking themes make "My Friend The Murderer" not only a prelude to his celebrated Holmes stories but a profound inquiry into the complexities of the human condition itself.

    “Harper’s debut delivers a compelling mix of mystery and dark comedy... Harper’s writing is crisp, witty, and conversational... The crime is layered and engaging, but not overly complex, and despite the wit the suspense is consistent as Harper deftly blends mystery, satire, and Brooklyn character study, all with impeccable scenecraft. Harper stages surprises, revelations, gags, and bursts of self-discovery with equal aplomb. Even readers steeped in the genre will find the ending a dazzling surprise with real emotional resonance.” BookLife (Editor’s Pick)Paul, a part-time actor and full-time narcissist, just knows that his wife is having an affair with the dog trainer who lives upstairs in their luxury apartment building. But when he tries to catch them in the act, he finds the neighbor’s corpse instead. And now he can’t find his wife anywhere.With only the building’s alluring front desk person to help him, Paul must find the killer before the cops pin the murder on him. Soon, he discovers that his fellow over-privileged tenants aren’t as bland as their jobs in digital marketing suggest, and he is drawn into a hidden world of greed, lust, and misused animal narcotics.But Paul’s biggest obstacle to solving this mystery lies within himself. Can he stop lying, navel-gazing, and indulging in his own depression long enough to do some actual detective work? Or is the pool on the roof too damn enticing?While serving up a who-done-it in the vein of Anthony Horowitz’s Hawthorne and Horowitz series, Additional Attendee maintains the momentum and contains the grit of an Elmore Leonard novel. Along the way, it offers up a healthy dose of existential comedy in the tradition of Gary Shteyngart and Sam Lipsyte.

    Weddings are murder in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Peg Cochran! 
     
     
     
    The cranberry bogs at Sassamanash Farms have never looked more festive than when Monica's half-brother celebrates his wedding there. It's a genuinely joyous occasion, and even greeting a strange assortment of guests and witnessing a heated argument can't spoil Monica's mood. But that all changes when one of the guests is found murdered at the reception—and then one of Monica's employees is accused of doing the deed to get his hands on the dead woman's money. 
     
     
     
    It doesn't take long for Monica to discover that the victim had amassed her fortune by marrying a very wealthy—and very ill—older man. What's more, the old man's daughters despised the scheming, gold-digging woman, and thought the inheritance money should have been theirs. That seems like motive enough for murder, but Monica suspects there's more to this case than simple greed. With her employee in hot water and time running out, Monica will have to act fast to catch the killer, before a case that started with a family wedding ends with her own funeral . . .
