Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder will recount the author’s experience of surviving the attempt on his life. It is “a searing book”, according to Nihar Malaviya, CEO of Penguin Random House, and “a reminder of the power of words to make sense of the unthinkable. We are honoured to publish it, and amazed at Salman’s determination to tell his story, and to return to the work he loves.” As a classic whodunnit, some clues reveal themselves to our detective team slowly and we try to solve it through the book. I had a lot of fun solving it, and reading about all these characters. So thank you, Fidel, for your theory,- just for the record... And nor could X be our killer, either" The team discovers that Aslan was a very successful con artist in his younger days. He ran a Ponzi scheme that finally ended when he was arrested and put in jail for five years. They further learn that Aslan has been inviting his “victims” to the Retreat as a way of atoning in some small way for taking their money. All of the people that they speak to say that Aslan was a kind and generous man. They seem surprised that he was the one taking their money. Or, were they? I thought I had the murderer sussed at one point, quite proud of myself I read on with the clues working in favour of my hypothesis I was certain that for once I had it all worked out, that was until the same scenario was presented to Richard Poole and I read the words:

Robert was educated at Uppingham School in Rutland and read History at Downing College, Cambridge. While at Cambridge, he toured with the university's student comedy troupe Footlights in 1993 and was elected President in 1994. Soon after leaving Cambridge, Robert set up a theatre company that toured small theatres and schools, the highlight of which was a production of Molière's The Miser that he directed and acted in alongside Robert Webb, David Mitchell and Olivia Colman. So once again I completely failed to spot the murderer despite the liberal scattering of clues that had presented themselves to Richard Poole's eagle eyes, masked as they were with the obligatory red herrings along the way. An original story from the creator and writer of the hit BBC One TV series, Death in Paradise, featuring on-screen favourite detective, DI Richard Poole.The bravura opening sequence of Peeping Tom is one that, like other sequences later on in the film, takes us behind the camera, allowing us to view the scene through its viewfinder—and by extension, the killer’s point of view. In immediately making the audience a participant in the killing, even if merely by observing it, Powell emphasizes the voyeuristic quality of watching movies, something that Roger Ebert said in a 1999 review of the film “is the bargain the cinema strikes with us, although most films are too well-behaved to mention it.” But Peeping Tom is a film that behaves badly from the very first shot, as our protagonist’s roving camera, hidden from his prey underneath his coat, follows a sex worker up the stairs into her seedy flat and records her screams of terror at the moment she is murdered. source: STUDIOCANAL The cafe regularly plays host to yoga classes in the evenings. The Facebook post added: “We are not part of any mad cult or crazy clubs. Having enjoyed watching the BBC's "Death in Paradise," I looked forward to reading its creator's first mystery novel using the same setting and characters. This book is every bit as much fun as the television series. In view of these findings, the authors invite governments to implement and evaluate this scientifically validated approach to reducing violence and other negative trends in society.

It is a standalone Richard Poole story with all the familiar characters (and more) from the series and it is a read which I really, really enjoyed.

( Daily Express) When it comes to books, 'cosy crime' has never really been my thing. From what I can figure out, 'cosies' invariably seem to involve dreadful pun-laden titles, a disproportionate amount of plots revolving around baking, and people solving murders with the aid of their pets. TV, though - that's a different matter. The TV equivalent of this sort of thing, from Midsomer Murders to Miss Marple to Rosemary & Thyme, has long been a source of comfort to me, and over the years I've accumulated a decent collection of boxsets of these series to watch when I'm ill, depressed or otherwise in need of distraction and relaxation. For whatever reason, they've often helped to get me through depressive periods when little else would lift my mood.
