Oscar Wilde and the Ring of Death: Oscar Wilde Mystery: 2: The Victorian Murder Mystery Series: 2 - Brossura
Sinossi
In OSCAR WILDE AND THE RING OF DEATH, the second in Gyles Brandreth's acclaimed Oscar Wilde Murder Mysteries series featuring Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle, a parlour game of 'Murder' has lethal consequences... 'Intelligent, amusing and entertaining' Alexander McCall Smith 'I see murder in this unhappy hand...' When Mrs Robinson, palmist to the Prince of Wales, reads Oscar Wilde's palm she cannot know what she has predicted. Nor can Oscar know what he has set in motion when, that same evening, he proposes a game of 'Murder' in which each of his Sunday Supper Club guests must write down those whom they would like to kill. For the fourteen 'victims' begin to die mysteriously, one by one, and in the order in which their names were drawn from the bag... With growing horror, Wilde and his confidantes Robert Sherard and Arthur Conan Doyle, realise that one of their guests that evening must be the murderer. In a race against time, Wilde will need all his powers of deduction and knowledge of human behaviour before he himself - the thirteenth name on the list - becomes the killer's next victim.

Recensione
'Part biography and part murder mystery with a wonderful cast of historical characters' (Oswentry & Border Countries Advertiser, Teresa Eccleston)
'Hugely enjoyable' (Daily Mail)
'Rather fun ...Brandreth unashamedly wheels out a cast of historical characters to die for' (Lucy Atkins, Sunday Times)
'A neat take on the big hitters in the book world just over a century ago ... Gyles is a joy to the nation' (Virginia Blackburn, Daily Express)
'A clever concept spiced with great Wilde epigrams' (Daily Telegraph)
'He has won great acclaim for his series of Oscar Wilde Murder Mysteries ... as witty and entertaining as his hero, Gyles is renowned for his charisma and charm' (Daily Mail)
'The last novel I read was The Oscar Wilde Murder Mysteries ... it was very good' (Nicholas Parsons, Daily Telegraph)
'A carnival of cliffhangers and fiendish twists-and-turns' (Sunday Express)
An amusing and satisfactorily unlikely story (Jessica Mann, Literary Review)
One of the most enjoyable crime series around ... He slips easily into the 21st century, does this Oscar (imagine, if you can, an even higher-wattage Stephen Fry), just as, thanks to Brandreth, we as readers are able to travel effortlessly back to join him in his own age. It is well worth the journey - and I can't wait until the next one. (Scotsman)

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 'So amazingly good, I could not put it down' Reader review 'An inventive and highly enjoyable murder mystery' Reader review Will a game of Murder at a dinner party turn deadly? London 1892: Author Oscar Wilde has assembled friends and acquaintances for one of his Sunday Supper Clubs, among their number is his great friend and creator of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle. Mid-way through the evening, a game is proposed: each guest must write down the name of the person they would most like to kill. But soon, the fictional victims begin to die one-by-one in mysterious circumstances - in the order their names were drawn during the game. With growing horror, Wilde and Doyle realise that one of their guests must be the murderer. Trapped in a race against time, they must uncover the killer's identity before they can complete their final move . . . A wonderfully witty and addictive cosy historical mystery that presents the reader with an intricate puzzle to solve. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman. Readers are gripped by The Ring of Death: 'Crackles with wit, tension, mysteries, and is reminiscent (but dare I say better) than the Sherlock Holmes canon' Reader review 'Oscar Wilde is solving crimes while rubbing elbows with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle . . . What's not to like?' Reader review 'This book had everything I love in a story: historical detail, cleverness, wonderful conversational by-play . . . BRAVO!' Reader review. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR001209576
