Pigs are stolen. Gooses killed, gutted, de-feathered, roasted over spits and eaten by drifters. And, evidently, dogs are wounded. Idaville’s an odd place.

Can Mike crack the case?!

Watch goose* is a thing, everyone. Seriously. We don’t like it anymore than you do, but it’s a thing. Mike tries to crack the case.

*”Guard goose” would also be an accepted term.

Courvoisier-sipping senator Sedgewick Sexton; the hideous, grotesque, smoke-spewing, long-limbed inhuman creature Marjorie Tench; and Deltas One, Two and Three are just a few of the characters discussed in this episode. So much happens. So many words are misused. So many editors went un-hired. It’s a wonder we could fit in Real or Fanfic as well as Dumb Sentences of the Week.

READING ASSIGNMENT: Read through Chapter 100. If you dare!

For once, once, it’s a hitchhiker that’s hungry and not a damn hippo! Anyway, Conor throws Donald J. Sobel’s mystery at Mike and Mike attempts to hit it out of the park. Does he succeed? You’ll have to listen.

Dan Brown is back! The author of Digital Fortress (and, okay, if I have to mention it, The Da Vinci Code) is typing up words and phrases and clauses as fast as his fingers can go. Most are, well, not very good – but there are a lot of them!

Yes, the episode is long. But think of it this way: if you are taking a dogsled trip somewhere above the Arctic circle, what else you got to do but listen, feed the dogs, hang onto the sled and not get thrown by helicopter into a ravine?

(We have pledged not to spend too long a time on this book so we’re doubling up our readings. That makes your assignment READ THROUGH CHAPTER 64. Then you will be the SHERIFF OF 64 CHAPTERS!)

Yes, all the things we in America know so well and love so much come together (much like dodgems) in one final episode!

This episode has it all: horrible, ghoulish holiday-makers, Farm Supply delivery men, cunning King Crabs, colonels who are probably earlier colonels but never mind, and of course train drivers just weeks away from retirement who scream themselves awake nearly every night during a nightmare about their bridge crossings.

Includes some Listener Mail and of course Dumb Sentences of the Week.

It’s Conor’s turn to solve the mystery, and Mike has picked out a fiendish one. There are five clues this time, and in a series where even the sole clue a mystery hinges on likely doesn’t make a lot of sense, this means we’re in for a wild ride!
