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!Remember, send book recommendations to Classicmysteriespod@gmail.comIf you ever feel like donating, you can do it either directly or by becoming a patron!My Etsy store - I sell cute lil cross stitched earrings and the likeThank you so much for lis...

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...Remember, send book recommendations to Classicmysteriespod@gmail.comIf you ever feel like donating, you can do it either directly or by becoming a patron!My Etsy store - I sell cute lil cross stitched earrings and the like...

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!If you have anything to tell me, email me at ...

This week, we begin a new story: The Man With the Nailed Shoes, by R. Austin Freeman.

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.Thanks for listening!If you have anything to tel...

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.

For our final puzzle of the week, we hear about a mysterious murder on a train... and the missing murder weapon.Thanks for listening!If you have anything to tell me, email me at cla...

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.Remember, send book recommendations to Classicmysteriespod@gmail.comIf you ever feel like donating, you can do it either directly or by becoming a patron!My Etsy store - I sell cute lil cross stitched earrings and the likeThank yo...

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 f...

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?

Back to the classics! This week, I'll be choosing a random Sherlock story out of my book, and we'll read it together!

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.

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 ...

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.Remember, send book recommendations to Classicmysteriespod@gmail.comIf you ever feel like donating, you can do it either directly or by becoming ...

For our last puzzle, we read about two friends that go out into the country for some fresh air. However, all they end up getting is death by cyanide. Is it suicide? Wa...

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.Remember, send book recommendations to Classicmysteriespod@gmail.comIf you ever feel like donating, you can do it either directly or by becoming a patron!My Etsy store - I sell cute lil cross st...

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 literally - the victim was an actual actor). It's detail-packed, so we'll...

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.Remember, send book recommendations to Classicmysteriespod@gmail.comIf you ever feel like donating, you can do it either directly or by becoming a patron!My Etsy store - I sell cute lil cross s...

This week, in our first puzzle, we question the strange actions of a suspicious fisherman, in possession of some stolen jewels. In our second puzzle, we read about a well-dressed gentleman, who just so happens to be dead. It looks to be suicide... but Professor Fordney thinks not. In our last puzzle, we hear all about a man. He's returning to the country from Cuba... but why? To help his imprisoned pal, or to put his affairs in order after a bank failure? This week, I think I do well. But the...

This week, Hugh Drummond brushes death and lives to tell the tale! Not that that's very rare or anything. But this particular assassination attempt is really interesting. In other news, we also learn a ton more about Peterson's master plan, and Mr. Green and Drummond begin to gear up for a real fight. In other other news - Mr. Green is the best, and we all need someone like him in our lives. Listen and see why. You'll agree. Remember, send book recommendations to Classicmysteriespod@gmai...

This week, we continue Bulldog Drummond - and we see Hugh continue to dance with death. After his capture last week, he spends this episode around the villans' mansion. Exciting things happen - I won't spoil too much, but let it suffice to say that he has a serious death wish. Another exciting thing is that we learn more about Carl Peterson's grand plan! And lastly, we meet some uh... concerning characters. Remember, send book recommendations to Classicmysteriespod@gmail.comIf you ever ...
