About – The Reader Is Warned
https://thereaderiswarned.wordpress.com/about
The Reader Is Warned. I am Dan, a late 20’s writer, comedian and artist, based in deep south London, and a collector of crime fiction, particularly of Locked Room Mysteries. If someone is shot, stabbed, strangled, bludgeoned, poisoned (etc.) inside a room which is locked from the inside, with no possible means of escape, yet the killer has vanished, I’m there. So, what can you expect from me? Well, I love writing about:. The mechanics and atmospheres of locked room mysteries old and new like this. Top Po...

I really enjoy reading translated crime fiction, as I think it provides a lot of variety and innovation and in particular it can reveal a lot about a culture or country; an idea which Mark Lawson pursued in his BBC Radio 4 programme:. I am keen to read crime books from countries I haven’t read yet, so feel free to post recommendations below as well. 2007) by Pablo De Santis. The Corpse in the Cellar. So Bad a Death.

Nothing is Impossible – The Reader Is Warned
https://thereaderiswarned.wordpress.com/2016/12/22/first-blog-post
The Reader Is Warned. To put it simply, I am a collector of crime fiction, and more specifically, of Locked Room Mysteries. Over the past 4 years I have amassed a somewhat large amount of books (150 and counting) that are understood to be the best in the genre, and immersed myself in the gothic, macabre and sometimes hilarious world of the impossible crime story. Some of my collection. I hope you enjoy something of my esoteric thoughts. December 22, 2016. December 23, 2016. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

https://thereaderiswarned.wordpress.com/2016/12/23/haunted-objects-gender-and-impossible-poisonings-salvation-of-a-saint-by-keigo-higashino
The Reader Is Warned. Haunted Objects, Gender and Impossible Poisonings: Salvation of A Saint by Keigo Higashino. In recent weeks I have begun making my way through the books of Japanese author Keigo Higashino. Having teared through the brilliantly tense, inverted thriller. The Devotion of Suspect X (2011). Made way for me to read the second in the Detective Galileo series. Salvation of A Saint (2012). I prioritised it as it is also a locked room mystery! Another thing that Higashino does so well in.
