August 16, 2021 Ep. 12 - Beryl Coronet
Today, we have a full-on Sherlock Holmes short story! Nice and twisty, this story is the one to subvert your expectations! We start off with a woefully un-athletic banker, and end with... well, I guess you'll have to see, eh?

August 09, 2021 Ep. 11B - The Lodger
All our questions are answered! The lodger is revealed for who he is, and the two ex-servants get a life all their own. Nothing like some good suspense and tension! There are some really cool moments in this episode.

August 02, 2021 Ep. 11A - The Lodger
Today, we've got quite a story! The Lodger is a story that has been adapted to film 5 times, and I understand why! We get a landlady, a lodger, and some really strange, unexplained behavior.

July 26, 2021 Ep. 10 - Orange Pips
This... is a bit of an unfinished story. The culprits are found, but never actually arrested. Oh, and Sherlock solves it nearly completely from his 221b Baker Street place! Talk about armchair detective, eh?

July 19, 2021 Ep. 9B - Purloined Letter
Didn't quite finish the story last week! This week, we get all of Dupin's thought process, and a description of how he eventually found and took the letter! I crack up at the stupidest things... like a detective using sunglasses in strange ways.

I got an instagram! Follow me at @classic_mysteries :D

Today, we read (most of) a story about a missing letter - and a poor policeman's attempts to find it... only to be upstaged in the most epic way by the detective. The poor dude was so blown away, he couldn't speak.

This week, we go full Mission Impossible... but from way back in 1919! This week's story is by Arthur B. Reeves, and it's a fun, short sting operation that includes a large amount of... "emotional latins." This week's episode gets fun.

[suicide trigger warning]
Today, we have a nice, short Agatha Christie! Nothin like some cozy murder to brighten your day. Somebody who just took out a huge life insurance plan died, and Poirot is there to investigate! Ghostly nonsense included.

Today, the mystery is wrapped up, with Ian Murdoch guzzling an unholy amount of brandy. The culprit is found and stopped, and all is revealed!

...and a dog got chucked out of a window.

...and I forget the word "suspicion."

...it's an eventful week.
