Trent's Last Case
by E. C. BentleyOn Wall Street, the mere mention of the name Sigsbee Manderson is enough to send a stock soaring—or bring it tumbling back to earth. Feared but not loved, Manderson has no one to mourn him when the gardener at his British country estate finds him facedown in the dirt, a bullet buried in his brain. There are bruises on his wrist and blood on his clothes, but no clue that will lead the police to the murderer. It will take an amateur to—inadvertently—show them the way. Cheerful, charming, and always eager for a mystery, portrait artist and gentleman sleuth Philip Trent leaps into the Manderson affair with all the passion of the autodidact. Simply by reading the newspapers, he discovers overlooked details of the crime. Not all of his reasoning is sound, and his romantic interests are suspect, to say the least, but Trent’s dedication to the art of detection soon uncovers what no one expected him to find: the truth. Delightfully irreverent yet ingeniously plotted, Trent’s Last Case is widely regarded as a masterwork of the mystery genre. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Tres abuelas y un cocinero muerto (Trilogía de Helsinki #1)
by Minna LindgrenTienen 90 años. Pero no piensan morirse hasta descubrir al asesino. Siiri, Irma y Anna-Liisa son tres viudas de noventa años residentes en El Bosque del Crepúsculo, un centro privado de apartamentos para la tercera edad de Helsinki. Más que un nidito acogedor para las personas mayores, la residencia resulta un lugar siniestro en el que los ancianos se ven privados de su identidad, rodeados todos los días por enfermeros vagos e inexpertos, y obligados a hacer gimnasia, a asistir a conferencias y a tomar un gran cantidad de medicamentos prescritos por médicos a los que apenas han visto. Parece que para las tres amigas los días ya solo traerán partidas de cartas, viajes en tranvía y asistencia a funerales. Pero en la residencia se empiezan a producir unos misteriosos asesinatos... y quizá nadie había contado con la curiosidad y el tiempo libre de unas inocentes ancianitas. La crítica ha dicho...«De Finlandia llega la Agatha Christie del norte.»The Independent «¡Cómo lo he disfrutado! Las protagonistas son tan divertidas y simpáticas que no podía dejar de desear que una de ellas fuera mi abuela.»Lukutoukan kulttuuriblogi «Una historia descrita como una combinación de Miss Marple y El abuelo que saltó por la ventana y se largó y que intentará conquistar a los lectores españoles con cada una de sus tres entregas que se irán publicando en castellano.»Todo literatura.es «La inteligencia de la narración se gana al lector... Contiene una pertinente crítica al mundo en que vivimos y a sus retorcidos valores. Prueba que los ancianos nos son una masa uniforme sino un grupo de individuos que portan una cantidad única de experiencias y recuerdos.»Savon sanomat
