Book Synopsis A Travel Guide to Murder by : David Wright

Download or read book A Travel Guide to Murder written by David Wright. This book was released on 2017-10-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warning! This is not your ordinary Travel Guide. It contains scenes of graphic violence and murder. If you are a tourist planning a vacation to some exotic or semi-exotic locale, and picked up this book by mistake, then put it back immediately. You won't like what you read here, not unless you too are morbidly fascinated by the subject of murder. As a special agent for the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, I was in a unique position to write a book such as this. I investigated murders in almost every state in the union. A short time ago, I thought I knew where all the bodies were buried, and who had put them there. But that was before the bottom fell out of the world, the stuff hit the fan and I somehow found myself on the wrong side of the law. But enough about me. Let's get back to the heart of the matter. What is a Travel Guide to Murder? It is a confession. But to what? I'm not entirely certain. At this very moment, I'm sitting in a courtroom waiting for the jury to return with the verdict. So until they do, I'll let you be the judge.

Book excerpt: Scandal and slayings among Regency London’s elite . . . Refusing to stand by while the wealthy men of London prey on their powerless scullery maids and other young women, Miss Emmeline St. Germaine has made it her mission to rescue the victims and threaten the men at dagger-point to cease their depravities. But mere hours after she pays just such a visit to a prominent knight, he’s found murdered and all of London is aghast. Did the man—or woman—who murdered the knight know of her visit? Facing scandal and the ruination of her family, Emmeline must solve the crime before she and her work are exposed. But there are powerful forces at work to silence her—or worse, lead her to the hangman’s noose for a crime she did not commit . . . “[An] outstanding series launch. . . . Hamilton expertly balances the page-turning detection with the story of a hypocritical society where women, whether they are scullery maids or orphans, rarely get to make their own decisions.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Hamilton’s novel will appeal to fans of Anne Perry’s Charlotte and Pitt mysteries.” —Booklist “A simply riveting and compulsive page-turner of a read from cover to cover. A deftly scripted mystery with more twists and turns than a Coney Island roller coaster.” —Midwest Book Review

Book excerpt: The small town of North Harbor on the shores of Lake Michigan is about to have a new mystery bookstore. But before the first customer can browse its shelves, the store's owner is suspected of her own murder plot . . . Samantha Washington has dreamed of owning her own mystery bookstore for as long as she can remember. And as she prepares for the store's grand opening, she's also realizing another dream--penning a cozy mystery set in England between the wars. While Samantha hires employees and fills the shelves with the latest mysteries, quick-witted Lady Penelope Marsh, long-overshadowed by her beautiful sister Daphne, refuses to lose the besotted Victor Carlston to her sibling's charms. When one of Daphne's suitors is murdered in a maze, Penelope steps in to solve the labyrinthine puzzle and win Victor. But as Samantha indulges her imagination, the unimaginable happens in real life. A shady realtor turns up dead in her backyard, and the police suspect her--after all, the owner of a mystery bookstore might know a thing or two about murder. Aided by her feisty grandmother and an enthusiastic ensemble of colorful retirees, Samantha is determined to close the case before she opens her store. But will she live to conclude her own story when the killer has a revised ending in mind for her? "You'll love this delightful debut mystery with its charming and wacky cast of characters and a mystery within a mystery just to keep things interesting." --Victoria Thompson, bestselling author of Murder in Morningside Heights "A charming read--with murder, romance and lots of mouthwatering desserts." --Laura Levine, author of Death of a Bachelorette
