Peter Swanson wrote a book called Rules for Perfect Murders. The story centres on Malcolm Kershaw, a bookseller who owns a mystery bookshop in Boston. In the story, Malcolm had written a few years ago a blog post called “Eight Perfect Murders”, listing eight mysteries that he believed were impossible to solve. Having loved Swanson’s book, I wanted to read these eight alleged unsolvable murders.
