Book of Murder

Crimes committed in this book reminds of a an old bygone era in New York. The stories are told is done tongue in the cheek, and a delightful read!

This book contains a series of cases in one book, very much written in the tradition 1920, I found it well written with lots of procedural information and interesting storylines. It took a little to get involved with the story but once that happened, the mysteries were good and intriguing - and I really enjoyed reading them.

This was a book written in the form of the 1920's. There were many different cases. It may be a little difficult for some people to get into the book but stick with it, the stories make it get more interesting as it goes along. Good characters and story lines.

The contrast between the old-fashioned language and characters and the modern feel of the stories makes "Book of Murder" an enjoyable read.

I enjoy reading vintage mysteries so I enjoyed these stories. Some stories were better than others. The stories mostly feature Oliver Armiston and Parr, Hunter of Men, as they solve seemingly perfect murders in New York City during the 1920s. With patience and some trickery they always seem to catch their killer. The mysteries are good and the solutions do make sense. The author knew his characters and subject well. Enjoy these vintage mysteries.

This group of mysteries were written in 1941, but certainly hold the attention of the modern day reader. Many of the stories feature the same detective. The stories are interesting and difficult to solve. The writing is excellent. I'm not usually a fan of short mysteries, but I would give this anthology of stories five stars.
