I'm a great admirer of the British Library Crime Classics short story collections and its editor Martin Edwards. One of his selections for this book is "The Case of Janissary" by Arthur Morrison. In his introduction, he praises Morrison's Bad Boy detective Horace Dorrington and I agree that Dorrington is a fascinating character, if you don't mind that he's greedy and a murderer. I take strong exception to Edward's lofty dismissal of Morrison's other detective Martin Hewitt, whom he claims was too "ordinary" to be interesting to readers. don’t kill a spider with a shoe or anything that is valuable to you. The reason for this is when you do this (kill the spider and or insect with a shoe or anything valuable) they might have eggs and they I don’t feel guilty, because i don’t want that thing in my house. Also if there’s like a lot of them then for sure. For sure like a big bug i’ll kill it, if it’s like an ant i’ll hesitate. He looks like maybe he’s not having such a great day already. Getting smushed is the last thing this guy needs.

The story here moves through several years before reaching a conclusion but going from start to finish felt engaging. A man loses jewellery stolen by an insect, or so he claims. These claims almost ruin his life, but he keeps moving on. I found the explanation more plausible than I would have imagined given how things had happened.(3 stars) RALPH: Hamlet asks his brain to get to work, and it does — in the middle of this soliloquy, Hamlet thinks of a new plan to get more evidence that Claudius really killed his father.Other than that quibble, I enjoyed most of the stories in the book. The usual suspects are here, including a Father Brown story. I can't make up my mind about him. Sometimes I like his stories and sometimes they bore me. Like his creator, Father Brown was a devout Christian in an increasingly secular society and he was fighting a valliant battle to show "rationalists" the error of their ways.

Classical Monologues for Men• Classical Monologues for Women• Monologues for Seniors• Monologues for Children Feline friends, canine companions and aviary associates are often the truest reflections of their owners and have played a crucial role in classic crime fiction—be they detectives, or delinquents. Martin Edwards reaches into the British Library of Crime Classics to collect mysteries featuring an animal cohort. Solving the death depends on interpreting the actions of the family dog. Father Brown likes dogs, but refuses to believe in the mutt as an omniscient being who sees into the souls of men. He scorns this as a reversion to paganism with its mystical gods who take the forms of animals. I love his sweeping statement, "It's the first effect of not believing in God that you lose your common sense and can't see things as they are." That's telling 'em, Father.

If I see a bug outside I would not kill it because bugs live in nature we can’t just go around killing all the bugs we see. However,

Guilty Creatures: A Menagerie of Mysteries Kindle Edition

rounded to 3* but I believe that those who enjoy classic and Golden Age mystery stories will enjoy this book in spite of any unevenness. After all, enjoyment is always a personal thing. So some excellent and varied stories and, as always, despite the varying quality in these anthologies, they are a great way of being introduced to new authors to look out for. if you have the guts to do so. Same for rodents and such, rats for example are big, scary and nasty, also menacing to home life so if possible kill it, or let it go, maybe give it to a pet shop. Some rodents Martin Edwards is an excellent editor. He has curated many story collections for Poisoned Pen Press. Here he has put together another interesting group of stories. Pol. The best actors in the world, either for tragedy, comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical-comical-historical-pastoral; scene individable, or poem unlimited. Seneca cannot be too heavy, nor Plautus too light. For the law of writ and the liberty, these are the only men.When my kitchen became infested with ants this summer, as it does every year, I put out ant traps, which, in another annual rite, did exactly nothing. So I did what I always end up doing — inefficiently smushing the ants one by one. Sometimes I’ll It’s a rare anthology that isn’t hit and miss; however, unlike Martin’s usual fare, Guilty Creatures contains as many duds and mehs as gems. I blame the paucity of detective/mystery stories with beasts rather than Edwards, an English solicitor and a mystery writer in his own right. we shouldn’t kill spiders because if all spiders were to be extinct, sertain insect populations would be over populated. and bigger pretedors would die and the whole food chain or food web would calaspe.

in the wrong place at the wrong moment, while the guy next to him is miraculously spared for no reason at all. As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods. Well in my opinion, i think that we should feel guilty because Ants did nothing to you. I mean how would you feel iif you were just walking minding your own biussnes and then your dead. Yea doesnt sound so good SARAH: And it's brilliant that Hamlet is inspired by the arrival of the company of players, getting from them the idea of using a piece of theatre to expose Claudius — a play within the play.Amongst my favourites are G. K. Chesterton's riveting The Oracle of the Dog, Penelope Wallace's The Man Who Loved Animals (the ending in particular) and Christianna Brand's The Hornet Nest. The most memorable will always be the short but effective The Pit of Screams by Garnett Radcliffe. Not exactly realistic but it need not be. Each author has his/her unique writing style, some are more engaging than others, all fascinating. This is a proper police procedural, with the entire family being introduced before dinner. Then a death occurs, and there are more suspects than the investigating officer (who was also present at the scene) would care for. the possibilities keep changing, to the point that I almost saw the ending coming, but the author sifted through all possibilities anyway so my guess had to be there somewhere!(4 stars)
