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.

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 of it? Thanks for listening!

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 worth it to listen in.

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. Remember, send book recommendations to [email protected] If you ever feel like donating, you can do it either directly or by becoming a patron!

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 weapon. Thanks for listening!

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 Umpire gets sniped in the head by a wicked fastball pop bottle.  Thanks for listening!

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?

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 moving boat, a wayward oar, and a ridiculously athletic swimmer (he feels the need to continually reference it). Thanks for listening!
