The Lake District Murder (British Library Crime Classics)

Product Information

The police spend most of the book stumped and trying various convoluted ways to figure out what’s going on, without figuring out a principle that occurred to me right away. I won’t explain what it is, of course — maybe you want the pleasure of working it out for yourself — but I really found myself rolling my eyes. Also, once the why was apparent in the form of this smuggling ring, the who and even the how were fairly obvious.

Rebekah Vardy 'is rushed to hospital after horror accident on her horse where she was dragged along the ground by her stirrup' The Lake District Murder is a classic procedural mystery from Golden Age mystery writer John Bude. A gas station owner is found dead from carbon monoxide poisoning, an apparent suicide. However, keen-eyed Inspector Meredith notes a few odd discrepancies, enough to request an autopsy that reveals the man was drugged and the suicide was a ruse to cover up a murder. The Lake District Murder is from the British Library’s excellent Golden Age of Crime reissue project, which gives new life to a range of books from the 1920s and 1930s, all written by superb authors whose names are largely forgotten to our modern world. Labour MP James Reed said: 'It's an absolute heartbreaking tragedy for the families involved. I am born and raised in Whitehaven and here with my wife and children. This book comes with a new introduction that proudly proclaims “This book may be a product of the Golden Age of detective fiction, but it is a world away from the unreality of bodies in the library and cunningly contrived killings in trans-continental trains.” And it’s true. Meredith is no Poirot who invites all the suspects in one room at the end and lays open the sins of every single one before explaining who really committed the murder. Neither is he a detective in the vein of the pre-golden age geniuses, who takes one look at the body and exclaims that this can’t have been a suicide because of the way the victim’s fingernails look. The case itself has also no big stakes. No innocent person will hang if the real killer isn’t caught. The fate of the world (or worse: the British Empire) isn’t in danger, either.Then we realised what was going on, the landlady had a TV on with the news, everyone was really scared.' This was a lovely book. Best way to describe is "very twee". Written in the 1930s I loved the language and the genteel nature, when the Superintendent says "by Jove opt think you are right" how can you resist? If you want gore and nail biting crime this is not the book for you, but sometimes it is good to read a book that is calming and enjoyable. Bird then tore through the area in his Citroen Picasso.
