When tempers flare, and the murders get personal, can author and detective fight their growing attraction all-the-while fighting the killer determined to destroy them both?

Book Synopsis The Mysterious Romance of Murder by : David Lehman
Download or read book The Mysterious Romance of Murder written by David Lehman and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Sherlock Holmes to Sam Spade; Nick and Nora Charles to Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin; Harry Lime to Gilda, Madeleine Elster, and other femmes fatales—crime and crime solving in fiction and film captivate us. Why do we keep returning to Agatha Christie's ingenious puzzles and Raymond Chandler's hard-boiled murder mysteries? What do spy thrillers teach us, and what accounts for the renewed popularity of morally ambiguous noirs? In The Mysterious Romance of Murder, the poet and critic David Lehman explores a wide variety of outstanding books and movies—some famous (The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity), some known mainly to aficionados—with style, wit, and passion. Lehman revisits the smoke-filled jazz clubs from the classic noir films of the 1940s, the iconic set pieces that defined Hitchcock's America, the interwar intrigue of Eric Ambler's best fictions, and the intensity of attraction between Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer, Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. He also considers the evocative elements of noir—cigarettes, cocktails, wisecracks, and jazz standards—and offers five original noir poems (including a pantoum inspired by the 1944 film Laura) and ironic astrological profiles of Barbara Stanwyck, Marlene Dietrich, and Graham Greene. Written by a connoisseur with an uncanny feel for the language and mood of mystery, espionage, and noir, The Mysterious Romance of Murder will delight fans of the genre and newcomers alike.

Book excerpt: SavannahI've been running for so long, not literally, but mentally escaping into tiny pockets of fantasy, trying desperately to flee from the monotonous frigidity of my relationship with my boyfriend Matt and my dead-end job. It used to just be that I daydreamt about running away and starting over, but lately my thoughts have become much more forbidding and threatening. Now I'm worried I might have done something much more wicked than even I could imagine. I don't know who I am anymore. Am I all these drugs that Matt has pumped me full of for so long? Am I the rational, level-headed, responsible person I pretend to be in front of my clients? Or am I the hysterical, manipulative nightmare that the media has made me out to be?When I meet Nate we're drawn to each other like magnets. It's not only the fact that he's the sexiest man I've ever seen, it's like we're two halves of the same person coming together. I'm so completely drawn to him, not the way that sunrays are drawn to the surface of the bright blue sea or the way that bumble bees hover over vibrant, unpollinated flowers, but the way that shadows are led down dark alleys; the way that skin clings to bloody, flesh covered bones.But I have to stay away from him. If I don't it might kill him.NateI've spent a great deal of my life trying to fill the metaphorical hole in my chest. I've tried to infuse it with women and booze and when that didn't work I turned to my job, hoping it would offer me some sort of reprieve from the memories that haunt me. It's like the bigger the void inside of me became, the more I threw myself into my work, until my company was not only the most well-known beer company in the country, but all my competition feared me. Even my own birth father was afraid to come near me in attempts to mend our shattered relationship. So, he used my sister Aria to try to get to me. But what he doesn't know is that I'll never forgive him for giving us up for adoption, for casting us aside like we didn't matter, driving me to live on the streets. No, my adoptive father, Henry, is the only father I'll ever need. Yes, the doctors say he's dying, but I can't let that happen.When I go out looking for someone to help me relax after work, I'm not anticipating the beautiful angel I meet at the bar. She's the most precious, perfect thing I've ever seen. I can't explain what I feel when I see her, or maybe I don't want to. Either way the feeling is pristine, fresh, so unlike anything I've ever felt. It's like electricity is jumping around inside of my body and if I don't let it out the pressure will cause me to explode. Just by looking at her I know she's mine. She belongs to me and I have to protect her.But when I find out there's been a murder and she can't remember how it happened will our connection be enough of an enticement for me to trust her and help her?

Amy is skeptical until their research raises questions about the culpability of the town’s leading families... including her own.
