Publisher's Synopsis

What would you do if you found yourself in the world of the classic crime novel? How would you avoid being framed for murder - or evade an untimely demise? Let classic crime expert Kate Jackson give you the tools to survive the golden age murder mystery.

From dinner parties to detective interrogations, you'll need to know how to keep your wits about you in a world of red herrings, hidden identities and one too many suspicious butlers...

Complete with original illustrations by Joanna Lisowiec, this insightful parody of the genre takes survival tips from an international cast of crime-writers; Craig Rice (USA), Ngaio Marsh (New Zealand), Augusto de Angelis (Italy), Sheila Pim (Ireland), Sébastien Japrisot (France), and Maria Lang (Sweden), as well as a whole host of British Library Crime Classics authors, of course.
