Differ in meaning: Suffocate, Strangle, Throttle, Smother, Asphyxiate

[Twin]

Can you explain to me how the above words differ in meaning?

I will appreciate it, if anyone can suggest a book which discusses differences between seemingly synonymous words.

Hi Tom,

Do you have a murder in mind? A book I have used that might help is:

RIGHT WORD/WRONG WORD by L G Alexander published by Longman. He was a highly respected figure in the world of EFL?ESL.
