За каменной стеной

Хоть книжка на раз,но написана неплохо.Упоминать очередной раз о клише и штампах не имеет смысла,ибо каждая вторая если не первая книжка этим грешит.Это - как детство,отрочество,юность и так далее,примерно

Книга больше подходит для раздела Эротика. История не понравилась, как и персонажи. Роман на любителя.

Измена. (Не) фригидная жена

Стандартная история для этого жанра, сплошные штампы. Главные герои, как обычно - брутальные мужчины с кавказскими именами и внешностью, героини - нежные фиалки с робкими попытками проявить характер. В

Аннотация

Wenham & Geraldine are a long-established and very well-respected publishing firm, so when a printer's proof is sabotaged and libellous passages are mysteriously reinstated, they call in private detective Nigel Strangeways.

But the situation takes a turn for the worse when one of the publishers' bestselling authors - glamorous novelist Millicent Miles - is found dead in the offices.

Nicholas Blake was the pseudonym of Poet Laureate Cecil Day-Lewis, who was born in County Laois, Ireland in 1904. After his mother died in 1906, he was brought up in London by his father, spending summer holidays with relatives in Wexford. He was educated at Sherborne School and Wadham College, Oxford, from which he graduated in 1927. Blake initially worked as a teacher to supplement his income from his poetry writing and he published his first Nigel Strangeways novel, A Question of Proof, in 1935.

Blake went on to write a further nineteen crime novels, all but four of which featured Nigel Strangeways, as well as numerous poetry collections and translations. During the Second World War he worked as a publications editor in the Ministry of Information, which he used as the basis for the Ministry of Morale in Minute for Murder, and after the war he joined the publishers Chatto & Windus as an editor and director. He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1968 and died in 1972 at the home of his friend, the writer Kingsley Amis.
