3 Novels by D. Erskine Muir
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 6.0MB | Retail
Overview:Dorothy Erskine Muir (1889–1977) was one of seventeen children of John Sheepshanks, Bishop of Norwich. She attended Oxford, worked as an academic tutor, and began writing professionally to supplement the family income after the unexpected death of her husband in 1932. Muir published historical biographies and local histories, as well as three accomplished detective novels: In Muffled Night (1933), Five to Five (1934) and In Memory of Charles (1941). Each is an intricate fictional account based on an unsolved true crime.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
Five to Five
Much had been risked, and the murderer had escaped by such a rare combination of chances.
When elderly, unpleasant Simon Ewing was bludgeoned in his maisonette, and a stranger was seen exiting the building by several of the residents. The murderer had entered-and escaped-in just a few minutes when invalid Ewing was left unattended, implying that someone knew the movements of both his household and the neighbours.
Who would run such a risk in a building with multiple comings and goings?
Robbery appears to be the motive, but why was only one ring taken from Ewing's secret hoard of valuable jewellery? A second death leads Detective-Inspector Woods to untangle exactly who was where in the crucial minutes before the murder.
Five to Five draws its inspiration from a notorious unsolved murder in Glasgow - the Slater Case of 1909 - and creates an alternative fictionalised account of what might have happened.
In Muffled Night
It was not at all a suitable house for a murder.
Helen Bailey is the live-in housekeeper to the wealthy Murray family. Tall, dark-haired and beautiful, the enigmatic Helen has long ensured that life at 'The Towers' ran smoothly for autocratic patriarch James Murray, his widowed son John, and grandchildren Alan and Glenda. When Helen is found dead in her blood-soaked bedroom, struck down in a horrific attack, the police must consider not only the family's relationships but everyone close to them. Helen's jewellery is missing, suggesting a robbery gone wrong, but the clues are confusing and contradictory. Dogged policework eventually points to one person, but have the authorities identified a cold-blooded murderer or an innocent person framed by others?
In Memory of Charles
Charles, according to all accounts, had clearly been boiling up to be murdered.
Charles Courtley was a difficult man. Prone to violent outbursts and a bully to his wife and daughters, he had uprooted his unhappy family from London to a country house in remote East Anglia. Wealthy and increasingly intolerant of any dissent, Charles enjoyed dominating everyone around him. His family, his employees and even the locals - banned from using the traditional footpaths on his forested estate - have multiple reasons to bear a grudge. When Charles is killed in the woods, Inspector Simon Sturt finds conflicting motives and tangled relationships between Mrs Courtley, her daughter Pamela and the local men whose family had once owned the estate. But each has an alibi for the time of the murder and no one is talking...
