Sinopsis

In 'Crime & Criminal' by Richard Marsh, the reader is taken on a journey through the dark underbelly of society, exploring themes of crime, punishment, and moral depravity. Written in a suspenseful and thrilling style, Marsh's work is a prime example of Victorian sensationalist literature, filled with twists and turns that keep the reader engaged till the very end. The context of the book reflects the societal anxieties of the time, with a focus on the criminal element that lurked in the shadows of London's streets. Marsh's intricate plotting and vivid descriptions make this book a compelling and thought-provoking read for fans of mystery and thriller genres. Richard Marsh, known for his prolific output of pulp fiction novels, drew inspiration from the sensationalist literature of his time and his own observations of the criminal world. His keen eye for detail and his ability to craft a gripping narrative set him apart as a master storyteller of his era. I highly recommend 'Crime & Criminal' to readers who enjoy immersive and atmospheric thrillers that delve into the darker aspects of human nature. Marsh's skillful storytelling and his ability to keep the reader on the edge of their seat make this book a must-read for fans of classic Victorian literature.

    In the isolated village of Lambourn there is great excitement when a family of itinerant bell-founders arrives to forge a new church bell. But excitement soon turns to terror when churchwarden Will Stubbs - a saintly old man - is found dead in the woods. 
    Thomas the Falconer is charged by his master to find answers, but instead finds himself trying to restore order in the community when the village constable is also found dead. Suspicion falls on many, and Thomas must battle ancient fears and hostilities in the hunt for a murderer.
