The Shakespeare Murders, Paperback / softback Book

The Shakespeare Murders Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Writing under the pseudonym Neil Gordon, A. G. Macdonell wrote several crime and thriller novels. In the classic genre of '20s and '30s crime fiction, Macdonell managed to introduce a different element, unusual twists that keep the reader captivated and anxious to discover what came next. The Shakespeare Murders is another example of Macdonell's carefully thought-through detective stories, where the detective is aided by the star of the cast.

Peter Kerrigan saw a pickpocket take the wallet of a shabby little man, and with speed and precision he stole from the thief.

Peter was a handsome gentleman-adventurer - not too scrupulous - and before he returned the pocketbook he read the letter which it contained.

It was so that he heard of the million pound treasure, and began the search which was to lead him through so many horrors.

At Marsh Manor he found the police trying to solve a murder, and lent somewhat grudging assistance; three more violent deaths followed rapidly.

The working out of the solution to the mystery, and the final disposition of the treasure are brilliantly satisfying. The strictly logical framework of the book is filled in witty and entertaining fashion with strange and amusing characters.

Macdonell uses his usual skill, well-dosed with ingenious twists, and a fast moving story-line, to keep the reader riveted to the book.

Chase, conspiracy, and American gangsters add to the excitement of solving the Shakespeare riddle.
