Synopsis

Émile Gaboriau's "Ultimate Collection: Murder Mysteries, Crime Thrillers & Detective Novels" offers a comprehensive anthology of the pioneering narratives that set the stage for the modern detective genre. With compelling plots that explore the intricate interplay of justice and morality, Gaboriau's works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and innovative techniques in crime storytelling. This collection includes notable titles such as "Monsieur Lecoq," where the astute detective navigates the labyrinthine underbelly of Paris, revealing the complexity of human motivations against a backdrop of social realism prevalent in 19th-century literature. Émile Gaboriau (1832-1873), often credited as the father of the detective novel, brought fresh insight into crime fiction through his journalistic background and keen observations of societal dynamics. His experiences in law enforcement and his fascination with criminal psychology deeply influenced his writing, allowing him to create enduring characters and suspenseful narratives. Gaboriau's ability to delve into the complexities of both perpetrators and investigators reflects the sociopolitical context of his time, as well as his commitment to illuminating the darker corners of human nature. This collection is essential for readers with a passion for crime fiction and those seeking a historical lens on the development of the genre. Gaboriau's masterful storytelling invites readers to engage with the moral ambiguity and psychological tension of his characters, offering an immersive experience. A timeless exploration of the labyrinthine psyche of crime, this Ultimate Collection promises to captivate both new and seasoned fans of detective literature.

    After a gruelling stint as the most powerful woman in the world, Angela can finally put her feet up. With her quantum-chemist husband Achim, her bodyguard Mike and their new pug Putin, she has retired to the idyllic north German village of Kleinfreudenstadt-on-Dumpfsee.

    So when the eccentric Baron von Baugenwitz is found poisoned in a castle dungeon locked from the inside, new life stirs in Angela. Finally, a problem to solve! Supported by her team of helpers – foremost among them the doughty Putin – she embarks on a perilous hunt for the killer. Will she succeed? Or will one of the six women suspects finish her off first?
