The Piccadilly Murder is a novel with an impossible crime, the second masterpiece of 1929, when the first, I remember, was the very famous The Poisoned Chocolates Case. And with the latter, The Piccadilly Murder, it shares characters and methods of committing the crime, and therefore it can be considered that the two novels form an inseparable pair.

We have already spoken about Peter Lovesey on other occasions, so I will not talk about his biography. I will only say that one of his two successful series, that of Peter Diamond, started with a bang, as they say: the novel in which the character of Peter Diamond, Superintendent of Police, was inserted for the first time, was awarded the Anthony Award, one of the most important awards in the world, for detective literature, dedicated to the memory of Anthony Boucher.| Death Can Read
By Peter Lovesey, today we will talk about another of his novels, A Case of Spirits (1975), which won the Prix du Roman d’Aventures in 1987 with the French title Le Médium a perdu ses esprits, and in which two other recurring characters of Lovesey are in action: Sergeant Cribb and Agent Thackeray.| Death Can Read
Mad Hatter's Holiday, by Peter Lovesey was the first to be translated in Italy: it was published strangely by Publishing House Sonzogno in 1975. I emphasize "strangely" because this book came out alone, among other examples of novels by forgotten or little-known authors, such as The Scorpio Letters, by Victor Canning . At the time, in 1975, none of Peter Lovesey's novels had been published so we must recognize that whoever discovered it in the distant 1975 had quite a flair.| Death Can Read

June Thomson, a British writer, is remembered in the very recent The Life of Crime by Martin Edwards, only because at a certain point in her career she devoted herself to Sherlock Holmes, preparing her own anthology of Sherlockian apocrypha, also writing essays, an original one of which on Doctor Watson in his relationship with S.H. Holmes and Watson: A Study in Friendship (1995) and also publishing an apocryphal novel, Sherlock Holmes and the Lady in Black (2015). In reality, Thomson was alr...| Death Can Read
