we shouldn’t kill spiders because if all spiders were to be extinct, sertain insect populations would be over populated. and bigger pretedors would die and the whole food chain or food web would calaspe. This was rather a stolid bunch with nothing very outstanding but nothing too awful either. It was just... middling. I was surprised how scientific & biological this series got with elvish species. The author is knowledgeable enough to build a detailed and believable world. As is noted in this title’s introduction, animals are an often overlooked element in mystery fiction. Well, no longer with this collection of fourteen stories. Here are Monkeys, Dogs, Parakeets, even Earthworms, and more. i think people should’nt be guilty about killing spiders or ants or whatever because i have a spider living outside of my window and i don’t feel guilty about scaring it i could kill it but i don’t

Another anthology of vintage mystery stories from the British Library and Martin Edwards, this time themed around animals, birds and insects but happily they are all in the nature of clues rather than victims! There are fourteen stories in total, as usual including some very well known authors, such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, GK Chesterton and Edgar Wallace, some that were new to me, such as Garnett Radcliffe and Clifford Witting, and some that have become stalwarts of this series, such as HC Bailey and F Tennyson Jesse.

kill. Plus if we kill these bugs it can mess up the food chain and then there would be more bugs. I don’t think we should kill rats or mice because they don’t really do anything, but if they try RALPH: Yes, Sarah — the performance of the players was what led Hamlet into the hole of self-recrimination that began the soliloquy, and it's also going to be what leads him out of it. The story here moves through several years before reaching a conclusion but going from start to finish felt engaging. A man loses jewellery stolen by an insect, or so he claims. These claims almost ruin his life, but he keeps moving on. I found the explanation more plausible than I would have imagined given how things had happened.(3 stars) I honestly think that bugs are disgusting. If they are in your house then you should kill them. But if they are outside in nature then you should leave them alone because they are not harming you. They probaly areI love the cover of Guilty Creatures: A Menagerie of Mysteries. It’s one of the most recent collections from British Library Crime Classics. As always, Martin Edwards edited the collection, and wrote the introduction to this anthology of stories involving the animal kingdom. As Edwards says, animals may be “victims, witnesses, even detectives” in the stories. And, occasionally they are the villains of the piece as well. But, neither Edwards nor I will point readers in the direction of the animal as villain. You’ll have to read the stories yourself.

Guilty Creatures" is the latest vintage mystery short-story anthology from British Library Crime Classics/Poisoned Pen Press, edited by Martin Edwards. This outing is all about mysteries where an animal is a key component of the case. Other than that quibble, I enjoyed most of the stories in the book. The usual suspects are here, including a Father Brown story. I can't make up my mind about him. Sometimes I like his stories and sometimes they bore me. Like his creator, Father Brown was a devout Christian in an increasingly secular society and he was fighting a valliant battle to show "rationalists" the error of their ways. Ham. I heard thee speak me a speech once, but it was never acted; or if it was, not above once; for the play, I remember, pleas'd not the million, 'twas caviary to the general; but it was (as I receiv'd it, and others, whose judgments in such matters cried in the top of mine) an excellent play, well digested in the scenes, set down with as much modesty as cunning. I remember one said there were no sallets in the lines to make the matter savoury, nor no matter in the phrase that might indict the author of affectation; but call'd it an honest method, as wholesome as sweet, and by very much more handsome than fine. One speech in't I chiefly lov'd. 'Twas Aeneas' tale to Dido, and thereabout of it especially where he speaks of Priam's slaughter. If it live in your memory, begin at this line- let me see, let me see:

In this latest collection of 14 Golden Age British mystery stories, the general theme that Edwards has used is the presence of animals or creatures of some type. As has been the case with others in this series of books, the results can be uneven at times. And here, in the animal realm, that uneven quality was more evident. But there are two stories that scored a 5 for me. The first is The Adventure of the Lion’s Mane which is written from Holmes’ point of view as it occurred after Holmes’ and Watson’s retirement. This adds an interesting tone to the narrative. My second 5* read was long enough to qualify as a novella, I believe. This is The Yellow Slug by H.C. Bailey. Interesting story with touches of psychology and interesting treatment of children. This long scene contains some of the more famous passages from the play, including the “What a piece of work is a man” speech and the “O! What a rogue and peasant slave am I” soliloquy, as well as the comic first confrontation between Hamlet and Polonius.
