Sinossi

In "Ashton-Kirk, Criminologist," John Thomas McIntyre crafts a vivid narrative that intertwines the conventions of the detective genre with a profound exploration of early 20th-century criminology. The novel's protagonist, Ashton-Kirk, embodies the analytical acumen typical of the era's emerging detective archetypes, while McIntyre's sharp prose and intricate plotting present a compelling examination of justice and morality. Set against a richly detailed backdrop that reflects the societal tensions of the time, the book delves into the psychological motivations behind crime, offering readers a nuanced understanding of both the criminal mind and societal repercussions. John Thomas McIntyre, an influential figure in early American literature, imbues his work with his extensive knowledge of legal and criminological theory, likely stemming from his own life experiences and insights into contemporary social issues. Drawing from the cultural context of the 1910s, McIntyre's fascination with crime, morality, and the human condition shapes Ashton-Kirk, positioning him as an early precursor to modern detective fiction heroes, and thereby illuminating the evolving landscape of American society. For readers captivated by the interplay of crime, psychology, and justice, "Ashton-Kirk, Criminologist" stands out as a seminal work. McIntyre's engaging storytelling and in-depth character exploration invite readers to immerse themselves in a world where intellect and morality collide, making this novel an essential addition to the libraries of both mystery enthusiasts and scholars alike.

    All she wanted was an apartment 
    Amanda Jackson was used to toxic men. Its all she'd ever known. And this gorgeous blonde property manager, Connor Brooks, was a walking red flag. But she needed a place to stay, and this unit sounded amazing. She'd be crazy not to look at it. 
    For Connor, finding a mark was easy. A simple ad in the classifieds. Once they were inside, it was too late to escape. They had no way out. One look at their frightened eyes on the monitor, that's when the housebreaking could begin. 
    The second Connor closed the door, Amanda understood her situation. She was trapped and defenseless. Or was she? She has one card to play: make her captor fall for her before it was too late. 
    All she wanted was an apartment. What she got was The Cage. 
    The Cage is the first book in a dark series by Danielle Bannister, author of Girl on Fire. Because The Cage is told in dual POVs, you might be torn over if this book is a horror or a romance. Please be sure to listen with care and check for tropes on the author's website.
