Christmas Murders

Informationen zum Autor Jonathan Goodman, considered to have been Britain's leading crime historian, died in January 2008. After service in the RAF, he began his career in the theater, working first as a stage manager and then as a producer. While with the theater in Liverpool, Goodman, who had already written a crime novel and the entertaining Bloody Versicles (reprinted in the United States by The Kent State University Press, 1993), an anthology of rhymes in crime, researched the celebrated case of William Wallace, who was convicted in 1931 of the murder of his wife Julia. The Killing of Julia Wallace (1969) was a great success, and Goodman's career took off. The Kent State University Press has published Goodman's The Passing of Starr Faithfull (1996), Tracks to Murder (2005), and Murder on Several Occasions (2007). Klappentext Originally published: London; New York: Allison & Busby, 1986. Zusammenfassung Presents ten murder cases of ""the old-fashioned sort"" - evoking a nostalgia more obviously associated with fiction - that all took place during the festive period from mid-December to Twelfth Night between 1811 and 1933. The settings of these grisly tales range from the Knickerbocker Athletic Club in New York to an apartment in Glasgow.
