The Coroner's Lunch

I think that that Customer C killed Fannin. The first piece of evidence that proves Customer C killed Fannin is that that the cash register had been rung up to 8.75 this is the exact total of Customers B, C, and D. This had to have been done before the murder, because the heel to toe footsteps that belonged to Ernie show that he walked to the cash register after mopping (footstep trail Y.) This was done before the robbery, because the only two reasons that he would’ve opened the register would be to either check someone out, or to give someone money during a stick up. We can tell that he wasn’t getting robbed, because the money’s still there.This allows us to rule out customer A. The second piece of

At first glance, the book includes 7 crime scenes planned carefully, which made me tremendously curious and could not ignore them. The story initially began with an enigmatic man who was about to commit suicide in a silent night, but then I realized that it was his brilliant scheme to wreak vengeance on his rival. Secondly, a poor victim accidentally murdered by the suspect, her husband’s sister, was haunting all the members in her family for twenty years. Subsequently, a maniac in the third story who was eager to be admired by everyone burned down her boss’s mansion deliberately in order to rescue the innocent children and become a heroine. Additionally, the crime scene in the fourth story confused me absolutely inasmuch as the woman whose husband was executed by riding the lightning was truly a mysterious mastermind behind the reason for his death sentence. Next, the fifth story told me about the villainous killer attempting to slay his beloved wife and his faithful partner so that the wife could be forever with him and his alibi would be protected. A lazy woman from the sixth story, furthermore, changed from a vulnerable victim of the robbery into a ferocious

The Posioner’s Handbook written by Deborah Blum is about the untold story of how poison rocked Jazz Age New York City. A few forensic scientists began their chemical detective work, trying to end an era when untraceable poisons offered an easy path to the perfect crime. Charles Norris, chief medical examiner, and toxicologist Alexander Gettler investigate a family mysteriously stricken bald, workers with crumbling bones, a diner serving piles of poison, and many others. Each new case presents a new deadly puzzle and Norris and Gettler create revolutionary experiments to cut out the compounds from human tissue. From their laboratory it becomes clear that murderers aren’t the only toxic threat, modern life has created a kind of poison playground,

Bang! The shot rang against the walls. The police ran into Ernie's Lunchroom and found Fannin dead. With only four suspects and only a little evidence I have come to the conclusion that customer C killed Fannin. All evidence points to customer C. This customer was left -handed because of his table set. Customer C has different habits than the others and that makes him stand out from the others.

The comic Stumptown by Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth and the retro audio podcast Nick Carter: Master Detective starring Lon Clack portray the different roles of women in detective fiction. Nick Carter was on the radio from 1943 to 1955, and represents more traditional roles for gender. Over the 125 episodes, the radio show followed detective Nick Carter and his female assistant, Patsy on different crime scene investigations. Carter was also able to solve seemingly impossible crimes by looking at unique angles. Stumptown was published in 2011. It represents a more modern view on gender roles in detecting. In this comic, Dex Parios, a private investigator, is hired to find someone’s granddaughter. She encounters many difficulties while investigating and attempting to find the missing girl. In the end, the plot ends up being a lot more complicated than initially presented. In this essay, I am going to look at how the role of gender in detective fiction has evolved over time.

Crime scene investigation and medical examiner television shows are always interesting and exciting to watch, but what happens when you make the contents of that television show your life? Often times, the one you see doing the investigating with not only the body at the scene, but also inspecting the body of the victim in their exam room is called the Forensic Pathologist. A Forensic Pathologist is often called to the scenes where a death has occurred so that they can legally gather information and observations so that they can proceed with the investigation. For example, they will try to find the time of death. It is very important that the forensic pathologist be contacted very early on in the investigation, due to the amount of evidence that needs to be overlooked. Forensic pathologists are educated as physicians, and are also licensed for the practice of medicine. Regional tests are given, which means that if you decide to move at any time after taking the regional test, you will be required to take it again if you move to a new state. Autopsies are a daily occurrence, and the goal of the forensic pathologist is to recreate the series of events that led up to the death of the victim.

A griefing police detective with a perfect record, investigates the murder of a young, pregnant woman, but her mistake gets the man she believes is responsible for the murder aquitted and she’s determined to bring the culprit to justice.

      One of the conventions of the detective story is that the detective if frequently an amateur. In "The

Edgar Allen Poe and Agatha Christie are pioneers of the detective genre who both used the shared conventions of classical detective – ethos of a supreme detective and false suspect – to help create an enticing detective story. To establish the ethos of a supreme detective, the narrator, customarily a sidekick, describes the detective as an outlier who has superb analytical thinking skills, does not emotionally get attached to a case, and always solves the case. In addition to giving the detective a godly stature, it is typical in amateur detective stories to see a false suspect be blamed for a crime he or she did not commit. Agatha Christie advances the classical detective subgenre by progressively revealing in “The Witness of the Prosecution”

The unusual murder quickly made the national news and everyone in the town knew about it. This is exactly what the killer wanted; to use the media to psychologically attack the population. The scene was nothing like anything the two detectives had ever encountered before. Detective Hart stood at the scene in disgust and shock not really knowing what to do or where to begin. After circling the scene at the tree, detective Cohle pulled out his notepad and began to take extensive notes.

To work through his writer’s block, he pulls some strings and gets the approval to follow around an NYPD police officer, Kate Beckett, and helps the police solve murders. Richard Castle is the textbook example of an amateur especially when the authors of, The Longman Anthology of Detective Fiction, say how an amateur detective has an immaculate imagination, an obscene amount of luck and they love to solve puzzles (28). Richard Castle embodies the persona of the amateur detective whole heartedly because he works closely with the police, but he himself does not have to follow the law or abide by it, unlike his fellow police acquaintances. Richard Castle falls into the category of amateur-amateur instead of professional-amateur because Castles profession really has no connection to crime other than he writes about it, but he only started writing about mysteries because of something traumatizing that happened to him in his childhood. Which spikes an unusual interest in mysteries and unlocks an impeccable imagination.

I must have been so lost in thought that I didn’t notice when Susan Brande, the chief detective in the area, walked in the room. Susan walks past the both of us and stares intently at the body. Her partner, a younger girl by the name of Daira Reagan, happily follows, eyeing the body curiously as well.

For the subgenre of police procedural, the detective works as a member of the police in an effort at uncovering the identity of the killer. In the 1940s, police procedural grew as a new style of detective fiction. This includes lots of details about crime detection, interviewing and forensic techniques. Unlike the heroes of Christie, Chandler, police detective was subject to inaccuracy and was constrained by rules and regulations. Many stories have officers as a main character. They may take a variety of ways, but many authors try to realistically depict the routine done by officers who are frequently working on more than one case simultaneously. Some of these stories are whodunits; in others, the criminal is well known, and it is a case of

Undeniably, the foremost element of mystery and detective fiction is that of discovery. The most familiar and general plot found is the genre is a simple one: an unknown situation or event is presented and, through investigation or curiosity, an explanation is found. While many circumstances can be applied to this formula, the main appeal of such stories "consist in finding out... the true order and meaning of events that have been part disclosed and part concealed" (Barzun 144) Consequently, it is no surprise that the most enduring characters of these works are the detective figures, those who take it upon themselves to discover the source of disruption caused by mystery and to "restore the state of grace in which the aesthetic and the

Edgar Allan Poe, a famous 19th century American author, invented many tropes that are common in mystery novels today. My mystery story incorporates many of these elements, such as, an unusual crime, a highly observant investigator, and a sidekick protagonist who helps relay how the mystery is solved to the audience.
