Classic Mysteries

SORRY FOR NOT POSTING I'm still alive I swear, I'll post an update next week :)

This week, we read the wildly dramatic ending to the Nailed Shoes trilogy - Thorndyke dunks on the prosecution in court, with some startling evidence. Can't miss this one!

This week, we dig even deeper into R. Austin Freeman's story "The Man With the Nailed Shoes" - and we even gain a suspect! However, that suspect is soon cleared (or so we think) of suspicion, as Thorndyke himself takes on the case of his defense. We'll see where this goes...

This week, for our first puzzle we hear about a murder in a restaurant... and we need to locate an elusive clue to convict the culprit. Secondly, we hear about the story of a man who answered a newspaper ad... and died. Our job is to discover how his murder was pulled off. For our final puzzle, we're given the age-old riddle of boat captains racing to a place... when they're supposed to be trying to get there last. Heard ...

This week, we begin a new story: The Man With the Nailed Shoes, by R. Austin Freeman. We meet Christopher Jervis and his detective friend John Thorndyke as they begin to unravel the mysterious stabbing of a man on a lonely beach framed by cliffs.

This week is such a banger! The first puzzle was a difficult one - we had to figure out exactly how a forgery was committed. In our second one, a murder is committed! There are few marks in the snow around the body, so there are limited clues to work with. The third puzzle is a weird question of how an eccentric old man escaped a bathroom (not a regular bathroom - a room with a bath in it). It's a great episode! Definitely wor...

This week, we finish off the Agatha Christie story "The Adventure of the Cheap Flat." We break into yet another home, traumatize an italian man, and nearly get shot by that same man. The police are brought in, and everything is explained.

This week, for our first puzzle, we get to hear from a world traveler trying to get his hands on a huge sum of money. It just so happens... that his story doesn't quite line up. In our second story, we get a glimpse into Prof. Fordney's Criminology class, and get to learn a valuable lesson along with his students. For our final puzzle of the week, we hear about a mysterious murder on a train... and the missing murder weap...

This week, we're back with the beginning of an Agatha Christie story! The story begins with a party, and ends with... well, you'll have to see. At the party, Hastings overhears a rather puzzling story about an absurdly cheap flat, and things only escalate from there.

In the first puzzle of the week, we read about chaos & murder in a political(?) convention - and how we need to solve it all, among the chaos. The second story has to do with dead uncles, open windows, and escape ladders, and it's up to us to find the hole in the setup. The last puzzle is the most American thing I've ever read - Fordney attends a baseball game (with Babe Ruth, no less), and while he's there, the ...

This week, we watch Sherlock track the history of the Musgrave Ritual, and dig deep to find out the fate of the two missing servants. He goes on a whole dang scavenger hunt to find treasure? But does he find treasure... or something more sinister? Better listen to find out ;)

Back to the classics! This week, I'll be choosing a random Sherlock story out of my book, and we'll read it together! I won't spoil what I end up reading, but suffice it to say that it's definitely an interesting dilemma - and it's got a fun framing narrative to boot!

This week, in our first puzzle, we get the chance to solve the strange and somewhat bloody murder of a maid. Bedspreads and towels were taken into account. It was indeed strange. For out second puzzle, we dig into the complex murder of Barton, by his friend Bob. How do we know he did it? Well, listen & find out ;) For our final puzzle, we met a group of three brothers, one of which is now dead. This one involved jumping on a mo...

Tune in this week for the finale of Bulldog Drummond! The final strings are tied off, and Peterson is... well, you better listen in to hear his fate and the fates of his co-conspirators.

Thank you so much...

In our first puzzle, we hear about a traffic death - and how it was perhaps more than it seemed. Next, we read about a classic fake hold up story... but is it classic really? Lastly, we hear about how an oil magnate committed suicide... or did he? Better listen in, to see how well I do!

Thanks for listening!

This  episode may be my favorite out of all of the episodes so far. Three amazing, hard-hitting reveals occur, each more dramatic and theatrical than the last! I obviously won't go into details, but we learn a lot about Peterson, we meet someone from our past, and... the kill count may have increased by one. This is a must-listen episode, folks.

In our first puzzle this week, we hear about a trio of friends that, due to bad conditions, have to cancel plans to go fishing. What happens next? Murder. Who coulda guessed. In our next puzzle, we read about a suspicious bank robbery, and an all-important coat. How is a coat important? Well, guess you'll have to listen in, eh? For our last puzzle, we read about two friends that go out into the country for some fresh air. Howe...

This week, Hugh Drummond flexes his dramatic muscles on both Lakington AND Peterson! The thing is... neither of them know about it yet. Also in this episode - Lakington plays a character so well, it's a travesty he isn't in Hollywood. I won't spoil anything, but I love this episode with all of my soul.

This week, we have the pleasure of first reading about a supposed theft of furs from the back of a moving truck - however, Fordney sees an issue with the story and calls out the driver. Our job is to find out how he knew. Secondly, we try to puzzle out a strange home intrusion/jewelry theft that has a very clever solution. Do I guess it? Guess you'll have to see. Lastly, we hear about a very dramatic murder (I mean that litera...

This week, Hugh gets himself in a fix again - as he does every week. And of course, he comes out alive at the end of it all. I won't spoil anything, but Mr. Green essentially saves Hugh's life (again!) and they all live happily ever after. Well, for a little bit at least. We aint done with the book yet.
