DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe young Dr John Strangeways has just established himself in Rochester. Immediately, he is charmed by his landlady, Angelina Frood, a young and charming former actress separated from an abusive husband. Serious trouble lies ahead, but fortunately Dr Thorndyke, a great forensic expert, takes an interest in the young woman's issues through the league of Dr Strangeways. It is a novel that reflects many themes such as unhappy marriages that were still difficult to dissolve during that era, but also very modern ones such as domestic violence, gender inequality, drug addiction and the advanced methods of forensic science, without, however, forgetting the humor that distinguished Freeman's pen. Gautier takes us into the fascinating world of 19th-century Naples where, amidst folklore, beliefs, challenges and passions, the difficult love story of an English couple, often disturbed by intrusions, unfolds. "Jettatura" is an interesting novel that, through fictitious characters, analyses 19th-century Neapolitan society, including its uses, customs and beliefs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe D'Arblay Mystery is the tenth volume in the Dr. Thorndyke series of Victorian-era forensic mysteries and one of the best.

Includes an introduction by Karl Wurf.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRichard Austin Freeman (1862-1943) was a British writer of detective stories, mostly featuring the forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke. He introduced the inverted detective story; a crime fiction in which the commission of the crime is described at the beginning, usually including the identity of the perpetrator, with the story then describing the detective's attempt to solve the mystery. Many of the Dr. Thorndyke stories involve genuine, but often quite arcane, points of scientific knowledge, from areas such as tropical medicine and toxicology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis classic detective tale shares a number of characteristics with the Sherlock Holmes series penned by Arthur Conan Doyle -- enough to ensure that Holmes fans will feel right at home -- but the duo of sleuth Dr. Thorndyke and his protege Christopher Jarvis are unique enough to earn readers' loyalty on their own merits.
