Audiokniha: Štvrtkový klub detektívov je prvý román britského televízneho moderátora a komika Richarda Osmana a aj najpredávanejšia krimi prvotina v Británii podľa denníka Guardian. Táto pohodová detektívka (v angličtine cosy crime) pre všetkých, ktorú kritici prirovnávajú k detektívkam Agathy Christie, predala vo svete už viac ako milión výtlačkov. Každý štvrtok sa v Coopers Chase, luxusnom mestečku pre seniorov niekde uprostred kentských lesov, stretávajú amatérski detektívi a venujú sa nevyriešeným vraždám miestnej polície. Coopers Chase stojí na pozemkoch bývalého kláštora a tamojší developer, arogantný vulgárny muž, majiteľ veľkého červeného klavíra, sa usiluje využiť biele miesto v zmluve, aby na mieste kaplnky a cintorína postavil osem nových bytov. 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... Kúzlo Štvrtkového klubu detektívov spočíva v tom, že je to oveľa viac ako kriminálny román.“ -DAILY EXPRESS (UK) "Vtipný, roztomilý a veľmi zábavný." -WALL STREET JOURNAL „Chytrý, súcitný, vrelý, dojímavý a veľmi vtipný.“ - autorka MARIAN KEYES „(Richard Osman) je vzrušujúci nový talent v krimi.“ - DAILY MAIL (UK) „Vtipný a dojímavý príbeh.“ - THE DAILY TELEGRAPH (UK) "Keď sa telá hromadia a čoraz viac sa odhaľuje zo života Joyce, Ibrahima, Rona a Elizabeth, nemôžete si pomôcť a nepovzbudiť ich – a dúfať, že sa s nimi čoskoro znova stretneme.“ - THE TIMES (UK) „Toto je jeden z najúžasnejších románov roka.“ - DAILY MIRROR (UK) (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Audiokniha: Staré vraždy a nové lásky – to je ten nejlepší lék proti stárnutí! Čtveřice zapálených amatérských detektivů z britské vesničky pro seniory si brousí zubní protézy na další zapeklitý případ, nad kterým už policie zlomila hůl. 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.

"Osman na rozdíl od většiny autorů kriminálních románů staví vyprávění především na dokonale vykreslených charakterech.“ – The Washington Post. „Při četbě těchto vtipných, optimisticky pojatých románů se snadno necháme okouzlit výstřednostmi i vynalézavostí postav.“ – The Guardian.

A WILD, MAD, HILARIOUS AND PROFOUNDLY MOVING TALE. It is very difficult to classify "The Man Who Was Thursday." It is possible to say that it is a gripping adventure story of murderous criminals and brilliant policemen; but it was to be expected that the author of the Father Brown stories should tell a detective story like no-one else. On this level, therefore, "The Man Who Was Thursday" succeeds superbly; if nothing else, it is a magnificent tour-de-force of suspense-writing. However, the reader will soon discover that it is much more than that. Carried along on the boisterous rush of the narrative by Chesterton's wonderful high-spirited style, he will soon see that he is being carried into much deeper waters than he had planned on; and the totally unforeseeable denouement will prove for the modern reader, as it has for thousands of others since 1908 when the book was first published, an inevitable and moving experience, as the investigators finally discover who Sunday is.

eBook: On July 15th, 1912, the body of Dora Grey was found on Yarmouth Beach. Apparently strangled, this became known as ‘The Bootlace Murder,’ believed by investigators to be the work of a serial killer. ‘The Murder in Yarmouth’ is a collection of Wallace’s writings as a journalist at the time of the murder. Chasing the clues and the suspects, he gives us insight into the forensic and psychological procedures of the time. However, was the wrong man punished? A superb read for fans of true crime and those with an interest in the police protocols of yesteryear. Born in London, Edgar Wallace (1875 – 1932) was an English writer so prolific that his publisher claimed that he was responsible for a quarter of all books sold in England. Leaving school at the age of 12, Wallace made his first steps into the literary world by selling newspapers on the corner of Fleet Street. He worked as a war correspondent after joining the army at age 21, which honed his writing abilities. This led to the creation of his first book ‘The Four Just Men.’ Wallace is best remembered as the co-creator of ‘King Kong,’ which has been adapted for film 12 times (most notably directed by ‘Lord of the Rings’ director, Peter Jackson, and starring Jack Black and Naomi Watts). However, he leaves behind an extensive body of work, including stories such as ‘The Crimson Circle’ and ‘The Flying Squad’. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
