My First Murder by Leena Lehtolainen Pdf

After a student choir's practice session at a Helsinki villa turns deadly, Detective Maria Kallio finds herself in the middle of the action -- and her first murder case. Someone in the group wanted playboy Tommi Peltonen dead, but that's one song these suspects refuse to sing. Behind the choir's jovial facade lies bitter passion, and the victim's seemingly perfect life hid a host of sins that made him a target of almost everyone in the villa. As a young female -- and a redhead to boot -- Maria knows that solving this case will help her overcome her perceived shortcoming in the eyes of her colleagues. But as the case takes startling twists and turns, and friends and foes become interchangeable, will she be able to piece together the clues before the killer strikes again?

The First Murder by The Medieval Murderers Pdf

1154, Oseney Priory, Oxford. When the first performance of The Play of Adamends in tragedy, the author is compelled to pen a grim warning for the generations that follow: 'BEWARE THE SINS OF ENVY AND VAINGLORY, ELSE FOUL MURDER ENDS YOUR STORY' But his words are not heeded, and as the play is performed in many guises throughout the ages, bad luck seems to follow after those involved in its production. When a snow storm diverts two disparate parties of travellers to the busy market town of Carmarthen in the winter of 1199, an enigmatic stranger appears and requests to stage the play to alleviate tensions, but on the eve of the performance the actor chosen to play Cain is found dead. When the play is performed in the city of Ely in 1361, the townspeople fear the play has unleashed a demon upon the town after a gruesome discovery is made in the Cathedral. And from Shakespeare's London to war-time Surrey, no matter the time or the place, each production always seems to end in disaster. Perhaps it is simply the curse of thespian rivalry that is to blame. Or does the story of man's first murder somehow infect all who re-enact it?

Baby's First Murder by Gerry Stimmler Pdf

It's been very quiet at the Thomas' household since baby Alley was born almost two years ago. Not a single murder within shouting distance. But that's about to change when Joe stumbles through the dark to bring Alley a glass of water, and trips and falls and wakes everyone except the strange man who appears to be asleep in a chair out by the pool. "Who dat?" Alley asks. Joe approaches the man carefully. When he's close enough, he realizes it's their next door neighbor's brother-in-law "It's Chester Flom," Joe reports. They know him a bit. He's kind of an ass. "I think he's drunk," Joe offers. "Should I wake him?" "Yes, tell him to go..." Margie starts, then stops. "No, don't. He's not a nice man when he's sober. If you wake him up we'll have to deal with it. Just leave him there and let him sleep it off." Of course Chester has been murdered and Margie and Joe -- and little Alley, too -- must sort through a veritable mountain of suspects and motives to solve the crime. Margie because she loves to solve murders, and Joe because Margie's avocation always makes her a target and raising little Alley all by himself has him terrified. Pack your bags and come along for the ride. Try to figure out who done it and why. I'll bet you can't.
