''Laetitia Rodd is a warm and engaging heroine'' The TimesFor readers of The Thursday Murder Club, M.C. Beaton and James Runcie, The Mystery of the Sorrowful Maiden is the charming third mystery in Kate Saunder’s series about Laetitia Rodd, the indomitable Victorian lady detective. In the spring of 1853, private detective Laetitia Rodd receives a delicate request from a retired actor, whose days on the stage were ended by a theatre fire ten years before. His great friend, and the man he rescued from the fire, Thomas Transome, has decided to leave his wife, who now needs assistance in securing a worthy settlement. Though Mrs Rodd is reluctant to get involved with the scandalous world of the theatre, she cannot turn away the woman in need. She agrees to take the case. But what starts out as a simple matter of negotiation becomes complicated when a body is discovered in the burnt husk of the old theatre. Soon Mrs Rodd finds herself embroiled in family politics, rivalries that put the Capulets and Montagues to shame, and betrayals on a Shakespearean scale. Mrs Rodd will need all her investigative powers, not to mention her famous discretion, to solve the case before tragedy strikes once more.Praise for the Laetitia Rodd Mystery series:''A witty, genteel tale of secrets, lies and hidden gold... Enormous fun'' The Times''With a well-crafted plot, an engaging protagonist, and astute nods to the literature and theological squabbles of the period, this is a perfect novel for a summer afternoon'' Guardian''A Dickensian glow pervades this immensely satisfying novel.

A second witty, fun, 1970s-set whodunnit in the Lowe and Le Breton mysteries series, featuring two ageing actors attempting to solve a murder after their famous co-star is found dead in a doorway outside the theatre in which they’re performing. Nostalgic cosy crime that’s perfect for fans of The Thursday Murder Club and Death & Croissants.It’s 1971 and, in between filming seasons of Floggit and Leggit!, ageing actors Edward Lowe and John Le Breton sign up for short run of Shakespeare tragedies at the Bolton Playhouse. But, once in Lancashire, they discover they have been invited to join the theatre’s repertory company for two reasons – because the company manager is keen to take advantage of the publicity surrounding their successful BBC comedy series and because Sir Nathaniel Thompson, the much-lauded star of the show and knight of the realm, has been sacked for drunkenness and for failing to turn up for work.John fears an awkward scene, should Thompson – who he knew during the war – return to reclaim his job, but when the great actor’s body is found, bludgeoned to death in a nearby alleyway, the unlikely crime-solving duo find themselves investigating another fiendish mystery that takes them from the northwest of England to the Netherlands, and which, rather inconveniently, seems to have John’s ex-wife Sally at its heart.Death at the Playhouses is the second in The Lowe and Le Breton Mysteries series.

Audiokniha: Kvarteto amatérských detektivů v důchodovém věku znovu zasahuje! Svérázná čtveřice penzistů se sotva vzpamatovala z řešení svého prvního skutečného případu vraždy a už je zase v jednom kole. V jejich vesničce pro seniory se objeví Elizabethin exmanžel, který svou bývalou ženu a neoficiální vůdkyni Čtvrtečního klubu amatérských detektivů poprosí o pomoc. Zapletl se totiž do loupeže diamantů za miliony liber, a teď potřebuje, aby mu někdo hlídal záda. Jenže profesionální zabijáci a ukradené diamanty nejsou jedinými problémy čtyřlístku sedmdesátníků z Coopers Chase. Jeden z nich se stane obětí zločinu – a něco takového si tahle nevšední partička rozhodně nenechá líbit! Hrdinové úspěšného románového debutu Richarda Osmana se vracejí v dalším příběhu plném humoru i napětí. „Divoce zábavná kniha – i pro lidi, kteří mají do sedmdesátky ještě daleko.“ – Michael Dirda, The Washington Post. „Chytrá a vtipná detektivka plná pozoruhodných postav, které svými kroky posouvají příběh nepředvídatelným směrem.“ – Kirkusreviews.com. Stačily pouhé dvě knihy, aby se Richard Osman vyšvihl do první ligy autorů detektivek. – The New York Times Book Review. Klub se triumfálně vrací... Muž, který zemřel dvakrát je stejně, jako jeho sériový předchůdce, nefalšovaným potěšením plným břitkého humoru, náhlých překvapení, srdečnosti, komiky i smutku. – The Wall Street Journal Osmanovi hrdinové se sice snaží vyřešit brutální vraždy a rozluštit záhadné vzkazy, ale nikdy se nepřestanou zabývat svým zdravím, vnoučaty a potěšením z pouhého popíjení vína a vzájemného škádlení. Jsou to obyčejní staří lidé, a přesto, jako všichni staří lidé, mnohem hlubší a komplikovanější, než se zdá... Zkušení čtenáři detektivek nepochybně rozpoznají jednu či dvě červené nitky, ale na další stopy si vzpomenou až zpětně. Osman vás nechá hádat a tak přesně to má být. Je to zkrátka divoce zábavná kniha – i pro lidi, kterým ještě dlouho nebude sedmdesát. – The Washington Post.

Očividne mu nie je súdený dlhý život, a keď mu niekto pichne smrtiacu injekciu, štvrtkový klub detektívov má pred sebou reálny prípad vraždy. Môže tento amatérsky, ale geniálny klub seniorov chytiť vraha skôr, ako bude neskoro? „Jedna z najpríjemnejších kníh roka...

Tentokrát však musí vypátrat nejen pachatele zločinu, ale i osud jeho oběti: talentované mladé novinářky Bethany Waitesové. Když totiž před deseti lety v reportáži odkryla obří daňový podvod, skončilo její auto na dně moře a tělo se nikdy nenašlo. Nyní se zásluhou čtyřlístku přátel, z nichž některým se navzdory důchodovému věku zapalují lýtka, začne o dávnou tragédii znovu zajímat i místní televizní legenda. Ovšem nebojácné a všemi mastmi mazané Elizabeth dělá vrásky spíše vyděrač, který po ní chce, aby zlikvidovala obávaného agenta KGB.

Naštěstí jim s pátráním pomůže Steve Wheeler, vysloužilý britský policista a tchán Amy, kterého s mladou snachou pojí nezvykle láskyplný vztah. Kvůli ní načas opustí poklidnou vesničku uprostřed panenské přírody na jihovýchodě Anglie a dokonce oželí i oblíbené středeční hospodské kvízy. A taky proto, že jeho koníčkem je dávat věci do pořádku…Autor Čtvrtečního klubu amatérských detektivů přichází s novou sérií netradičních případů, při jejichž vyšetřování nebude nouze o překvapivé zápletky, rázovité seniory ani vyhlášený britský humor. Vychází v koedici s Nakladatelstvím Slovart.„Ztřeštěná zábava s novým okouzlujícím ansámblem a Osmanovým typickým humorem. Příjemné čtení!“ – spisovatelka Shari Lapena„Osman nepíše drsné thrillery. Ani nemusí, když vás dokáže okouzlit nezapomenutelnými postavami, zábavným vyprávěním, které odsýpá, a neustálým přísunem humoru.“ – The Washington Post„Autor si poradil s obtížným úkolem: přijít se svéráznými, a přitom veskrze lidskými charaktery a k tomu vymyslet dostatečně zamotanou záhadu. Tahle série si určitě získá věrné publikum.“ – Publishers Weekly„Pokud jste byli fanoušky jeho předchozí série, nebo zkrátka jen hledáte vítaný únik z každodenní rutiny, Osmanův nový román je dokonalou volbou. Plný humoru i hřejivé lidskosti a se špetkou napětí nabízí útulné, přesto vzrušující dobrodružství, po kterém budete neklidně vyhlížet druhý díl.“ – The IndiependentKrátce po obědě dorazil další nepříjemný e-mail. Co jsem udělal, že si tohle zasloužím? Dostihly mě moje hříchy!!!Byl od Roba Kenny, mého zprostředkovatele vražd. Jestli ještě nemáte zprostředkovatele vražd, měli byste si ho sehnat, protože je strašně nepohodlné, když musíte tyhle věci zařizovat sami. Sežeňte si dobrého zubaře, dobrého instalatéra a dobrého zprostředkovatele vražd, a dotáhnete to daleko. – ukázka z knihy
