The Wedding Chest Mystery (Musaicum Vintage Mysteries) by Dorothy Fielding Pdf

A gift of an ornate Chinese chest ends up becoming the coffin of the receiver. Who killed him? And, why was his body put inside the same chest that was supposed to be exhibited in a party? Chief Inspector Pointer must solve the clues to this locked-room mystery and find the killer before it's too late! Excerpt: "Mr.Farrant to see you, sir, Very urgent.Mr. William Farrant." The private inquiry agent smoothed his forehead and nodded as he glanced at a calendar of social events which his clerk prepared for him daily. A moment later a young man was shown in. He was of big build, but moved with a step so noiseless that even now, when he came forward and shook Schofild's outstretched hand, no footfall could be heard, and the room had parquet flooring."

The Wedding-Chest Mystery by A E Fielding Pdf

It was to be a fitting centerpiece of the Chinese themed suite in the new home of the financier, Boyd Armstrong, an ornate Chinese wedding chest, a gift of the explorer Major Hardy. When the chest is opened at the party held for the unveiling of the chest, to the surprise and horror of all those in attendance, the chest was found to contain the body of their host, victim of a gunshot to the head. Chief Inspector Pointer is promptly called in, but he finds himself presented with a baffling puzzle. Not only must he discover who amongst the many suspects killed Armstrong, he must first discover where he was killed, and how (and why) his body came to be placed in the wedding chest when the chest was either under observation or within the locked suite the entire time. The Wedding-Chest Mystery is one of the most intriguing of the Inspector Pointer mysteries.

The Yellow Room (Musaicum Vintage Mysteries) by Mary Roberts Rinehart Pdf

Carol Spenser's trip to her house in Maine turns into a dreadful nightmare. There is a corpse of a woman in the closet! And the maid too was pushed down the stairs. Worse still, there is a lurking presence in the Yellow Room when the entire house is supposed to be empty and locked. The police suspect Carol but her own life is in grave danger. She gets trapped in the house and all the telephone lines have been cut off. The killer is near, very near… Excerpt: As she sat in the train that June morning Carol Spencer did not look like a young woman facing anything unusual. She looked merely like an attractive and highly finished product of New York City, who was about to park her mother with her elder sister in Newport for a week or two, and who after said parking would then proceed to Maine, there to open a house which she had never wanted to see again. Now she was trying to relax. Mrs. Spencer in the next chair was lying back with her eyes closed, as though exhausted. As she had done nothing but get herself into a taxi and out again, Carol felt not unnaturally resentful...

The Charteris Mystery (Musaicum Vintage Mysteries) by Dorothy Fielding Pdf

Rose Charteris' dead body at the bottom of a sand pit let the onlookers believe that probably she died due to a freak accident… But Chief Inspector Pointer is deeply suspicious as there are many people who will directly benefit from her murder! Excerpt: "Cockburn thought that the colonel looked vexed. An old scar on his forehead blazed a bar of crimson. A sign of anger. Yet he could hardly be annoyed with the girls for knowing where the professor was. But already the colonel had puzzled him on the courts. Generally a fine player—to-day! Cockburn eyed him as he cut a cigar unevenly, and decided that something was up. It was not Colonel Scarlett's habit to chip a Corona like that. Nor to hold it so tightly that it leaked. Nor to smoke it at a pace which would turn it into an overheated cabbage stalk."

Realist Cinema as World Cinema by Lúcia Nagib Pdf

This book presents the bold and original proposal to replace the general appellation of 'world cinema' with the more substantive concept of 'realist cinema'. Veering away from the usual focus on modes of reception and spectatorship, it locates instead cinematic realism in the way films are made. The volume is structured across three innovative categories of realist modes of production: 'non-cinema', or a cinema that aspires to be life itself; 'intermedial passages', or films that incorporate other artforms as a channel to historical and political reality; and 'total cinema', or films moved by a totalising impulse, be it towards the total artwork, total history or universalising landscapes. Though mostly devoted to recent productions, each part starts with the analysis of foundational classics, which have paved the way for future realist endeavours, proving that realism is timeless and inherent in cinema from its origin.

Mystery at the Rectory by A. E. Fielding Pdf

Mystery at the Rectory, first published in 1937, is a classic British 'golden-age' murder mystery. The Rev. John Avery, rector of the village church, was famous for the eloquence and scholarly nature of his sermons. No one in attendance at the Sunday service was surprised then, when the rector, having evidently exchanged his notes for some other document, after a moment’s hesitation, delivered one of his most moving sermons extempore. They were, however, much surprised, when the rector was found dead the next morning the victim of an apparent accidental poisoning. Coming on the heels of the death of one of the leading young men of the village by a shooting, also ruled an accident, it seemed to all an unfortunate coincidence. To all, that is, except for Chief Inspector Pointer, who, by a much more fortunate coincidence, happened to be visiting the County Chief Constable for a spot of fishing. It falls to the Scotland Yard detective to unravel the web of secrets that form the...Mystery at the Rectory!

Tragedy at Beechcroft by A. E. Fielding Pdf

Tragedy at Beechcroft, first published in 1935, is a classic British 'golden-age' murder mystery. The book, authored by A. E. Fielding (whose real identity remains somewhat of a mystery itself) features Scotland Yard's Chief Inspector Pointer, who is called to the Beechcroft estate to investigate an 'accidental' death and an apparent suicide, but which are, in fact, murders. A host of characters, from the sinister to the silly, populate the Beechcroft household in this inventive, highly readable mystery. At first it had seemed just a tragic accident, a conjuring trick gone horribly wrong when a real sword substituted for a prop results in the death of a woman. Moments later the amateur magician, the ladies' husband, overwhelmed with grief committed suicide. But when certain aspects don’t seemed to add up, one of Scotland Yard’s finest, Chief Inspector Pointer, is sent to the scene of the tragedy, Beechcroft, to investigate. Was it truly an accident and suicide? Or was it something more sinister, a double murder? And if so, why? And more importantly, by whom? These are the questions Pointer must unravel as he investigates the . . . Tragedy at Beechcroft
