> Stunning Belrive Priory, consisting of a mansion, park and medieval ruins, is surrounded by the noise and neon signs of its gaudy neighbours - a cotton-mill, a brewery and a main road. Nevertheless, Arthur Ferryman is pleased to return for a family Christmas, but is shocked to discover that his cousins have taken up a new pastime - pistol-shooting. >Inspector Appleby arrives on the scene when one of Ferryman's cousins is found shot dead in the study, in a mystery built on family antagonisms.

Appleby's End

Michael Innes

> Appleby's End was the name of the station where Detective Inspector John Appleby got off the train from Scotland Yard. But that was not the only coincidence. Everything that happened from then on related back to stories by Ranulph Raven, Victorian novelist - animals were replaced by marble effigies, someone received a tombstone telling him when he would die, and a servant was found buried up to his neck in snow, dead. Why did Ranulph Raven's mysterious descendants make such a point of inviting Appleby to spend the night at their house?

Appleby's other story

Michael Innes

During a walk to Elvedon House, palatial home of the Tythertons, Sir John Appleby and Chief Constable Colonel Pride are stunned to find a police van and two cars parked outside. Wealthy Maurice Tytherton has been found shot dead, and Appleby is faced with a number of suspects - Alice Tytherton, flirtatious, younger wife of the deceased; Egon Raffaello, disreputable art dealer; and the prodigal son, Mark Tytherton, who has just returned from Argentina. Could the death be linked to the robbery of some paintings several years ago?

Hare Sitting Up

Michael Innes

> In this vintage novel, first published in 1959, Michael Innes provided a new excitement for Sir John Appleby. A top level bacteriological scientist has disappeared and, it is thought, may be carrying round with him a culture of almost inconceivable virulence. Kidnapped? Quitted to the enemy? A nervous breakdown? Or, a more fearful possibility, is he quietly mad and planning the destruction of the whole of verminous humanity? These are the possibilities that face Appleby when he gets his instructions from the Prime Minister at the start of *Hare Sitting Up*.

Silence Observed

Michael Innes

> Respected Fine Art experts are deceived in one of the most intriguing murder cases Inspector Appleby has ever faced, beginning with Gribble, a collector of forgeries whose latest acquisition is found to be a forged forgery! In the words of Appleby himself: 'Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. Just a little mad, for a start. Inclined, say, to unreasonable jokes in the course of business. But later - well, very mad indeed.'

Lament for a maker

Michael Innes

This novel records events surrounding the dramatic, snow-bound death of a universally despised Scottish laird - was it suicide, did he fall, or was he pushed? The story is told, at length, by a series of narrators all offering a different viewpoint, and what starts as a simple puzzle builds to a desperate tragedy of Jacobean proportions. If you are looking for a light, 1930s, Christie-style confection to fill a couple of rainy hours, this is not for you. Remember that Michael Innes was a Scottish academic (Professor of English at Adelaide and, later, Oxford University) with an interest in psychology. The book starts with a witty pastiche of the then-popular Scots vernacular fiction - worth sticking with, as it is actually very funny in parts. Tropes from other literary forms are introduced (epistolatory novels, Gothic fiction, Jacobean drama). A character wanders in briefly from the previous Innes books, and Appleby of Scotland Yard makes a late entry to offer a more or less coherent solution. So, not your average whodunnit and possibly not for everyone: an intelligent and witty experiment or pretentious and prolonged, according to your taste. Read it and make up your own mind! P.S. "maker", or makkar, is Scots for "poet"

The Murder at the Vicarage

Agatha Christie

***Murder at the Vicarage (1930)is the first Miss Marple mystery book by Agatha Christie.*** Miss Jane Marple is a village busybody who applies human nature to crimes. Colonel Protheroe, magistrate universally despised, was shot in his study, unheard. His wife Anne admits newly arrived artist Lawrence Redding is an old flame, and both confess to murder. **The local inspector and Miss Marple sort through to the truth.** ***The murder of Colonel Protheroe shocks the town of St. Mary Mead, where the main entertainment is tea and gossip.*** Among the neighbors of St. Mary Mead, the most meddlesome, observant and shrewd person is Miss Marple. His intervention will be decisive in the resolution of a crime for which there are no suspects. ***Death in the vicarage, published in 1930, was the first appearance of one of the most important characters in the work of Agatha Christie, the spinster and insightful Miss Marple, whose cases have been adapted several times both to the cinema and in Form of television series.***
