The murder of a beautiful heiress down a Cornish country lane in the late 1950s sparks an urgent hunt for a killer. Superintendent Robert Dale from the Murder squad and his sidekick, Detective Sergeant David Kingston are sent to help with the investigation by the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary. It is clear from the outset that there are several suspects, and eventually an arrest is made and the alleged murderer put to trial. However, this is not brought about without various obstacles coming their way: jealous lovers, a crooked solicitor, trouble at a nearby gypsy encampment, illegal goings on at a local pub and a standing feud between two local farmers. After the jury's verdict, Dale has severe misgivings as to whether they have the right man, and it becomes a race against time if the wrong man is not to be hanged............

Getting older is murder. Cherry Hills Police Chief Kenny wants nothing more than to celebrate his 55th birthday with a thick, juicy steak. Alas, that dream is shattered when his friend and animal rescue maven Imogene Little organizes a vegan get-together in his honor. But the caterer's spread isn't the most appalling part of the evening. When Chief Kenny's brother-in-law Landon Tabernathy ends up murdered, the police chief's four bickering sisters are all pegged as prime suspects. With Chief Kenny sitting out this investigation thanks to his personal ties to the case, it's up to amateur sleuth Kat Harper to find out "whodunit." And as much as she hates the possibility, it's looking quite likely one of Chief Kenny's sisters might, in fact, be guilty. The siblings share a complicated history—one that stars Landon at its turbulent center. Unfortunately for Kat, she isn't the only one working to solve the case. This homicide may be the lucky break a beat cop with high career aspirations needs to prove he's worthy of a promotion. And if Kat doesn't identify the real killer in time, the detective wannabe might just succeed in his efforts to pin the small town's latest murder on its resident gumshoe. All of the Cozy Cat Caper Mystery books can be enjoyed as standalones but will be better appreciated as part of the series. The books are light, fun cozy mysteries featuring an animal-loving female amateur sleuth, lovable and not-so-lovable quirky characters, and a page-turning mystery that needs solving.

This book seeks to unravel the issues associated with the crime of murder, providing a highly accessible account of the subject for people coming to it for the first time. It uses detailed case studies as a way of exemplifying and exploring more general questions of socio-cultural responses to murder and their explanation. It incorporates a historical perspective which both provides some fascinating examples from the past and enables readers to gain a vision of what has changed and what has remained the same within those socio-cultural responses to murder. The book also embraces questions of race and gender, in particular cultural constructions of masculinity and femininity on the one hand, and the social processes of 'forgetting and remembering' in the context of particular crimes on the other. Particular murders analysed included those of Myra Hindley, Harold Shipman and the Bulger murder.

In the ninth installment of the glittering Gilded Newport Mystery series from Alyssa Maxwell, during the autumnal chill of Newport, Rhode Island at the close of the nineteenth century, journalist Emma Cross discovers an instance of cold-blooded murder on the grounds of Wakehurst Mansion… Following the death of her uncle, Cornelius Vanderbilt, in September 1899, a somber Emma is in no mood for one of Newport’s extravagant parties. But to keep Vanderbilt’s reckless son Neily out of trouble, she agrees to accompany him to an Elizabethan fête on the lavish grounds of Wakehurst, the Ochre Point “cottage” modeled after an English palace, owned by Anglophile James Van Alen. The festivities include a swordplay demonstration, an archery competition, scenes from Shakespeare’s plays, and even a joust. As Emma wanders the grounds, she overhears a fierce argument between a man and a woman behind a tall hedge. As the joust begins, she’s drawn by the barking of Van Alen’s dogs and finds a man on the ground, an arrow through his chest. The victim is one of the 400’s most influential members, Judge Clayton Schuyler. With the help of her beau Derrick Andrews and Detective Jesse Whyte, Emma begins to learn the judge was not the straight arrow he appeared to be. As their investigation leads them in ever-widening circles, Emma will have to stop the killer from taking another life . . .
