Re: The Rhyme Scheme Killer, chap. 15
''Write off the whole incident''? Sly and clever indeed! :) ''Please put any additional contact numbers on the back,'' Ms. Greene said in her most authoritarian librarian voice, and Wordsworth jotted his cell number there, more to placate her than because he expected her to call. Now we just know that we're going to hear more from Ms. Greene, ...

Re: More on Ms. Greene's eccentricity
MaryAnn: Rabbit, now that I think of it, this mystery is taking place in Excelsiorville, probably just a dot on any map. In such a small place, I suppose the library is small as well, and the one librarian does do everything -- from book buying to shelving to washing up to vacuuming to watching for lurkers. Thanks for the heads up on the ...

Re: The Rhyme Scheme Killer, chap. 14
Dear MaryAnn, Maybe Ms. Greene is not your typical librarian. She's established as being quite eccentric right off: And Ms. Greene, the librarian who had come to purchase a hot dog with no meat (bun only), reported a suspicious stranger who had been lurking in the poetry section of the library all morning. (...) Wordsworth, who had prior ...

The Rhyme Scheme Killer: Chapters 1-13
The Rhyme Scheme Killerby islandtime 04/01/2008, 6:52 PM THE RHYME SCHEME KILLER Detective Trevor W. Wordsworth had been resting on his laurels. Surprisingly, they weren't uncomfortable at all. He had successfully brought to justice a murderer whose motive was nothing more than to cover up on-line plagiarism. The cold-hearted killer would be ...

Re: The Rhyme Scheme Killer, chap. 10
islandtime:''Duck soup? How do you kill someone with duck soup?'' Wordsworth wanted to know. ''Well, actually,'' Homes said, ''if you read further, you’ll see it was probably some kind of poison administered in duck soup. The final analysis hasn’t come back from the lab yet.'' Oh, come on, you can do better than that. There must be something ...

Just letting you know I'm interested...
''Just myself, Homes. Occasionally I like a little intelligent conversation,'' Wordsworth said. If he's so intelligent, then how did he get someone like Homes? ''Homes,'' Wordsworth said frostily. ''Do you see any connection between twins and couplets, talent shows and poetry slams, poets and serial killers?'' ''Well, now that you say so, I do, ...

Re: The Rhyme Scheme Killer, chap. 8
Well, now you've done it. You've made the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles start running around like headless chickens and screaming: ''PLOT TWIST!!!!'' (Yes, they actually did that at least once in the comic strip that features them.) April 27-30, eh? So this is more about how to prevent more murders than to solve one or two in Excelsiorville ...

Re: The Rhyme Scheme Killer, chap. 7
Uh, do mysteries usually wait until chapter 7 out of 30 to show us the corpse?

Insight, boldfaced...
islandtime: (Previously: Homes asks Det. Wordsworth whether Wordsworth thinks a killer operating at poetry slams may be headed toward their hometown, Excelsiorville.) ''...The crimes were spread so far apart geographically that it seems a connection between them was just recently made. So now it’ll hit the newspapers, and there’ll be a lot of ...

Hey, Uber-Classic Mystery Reader...
...ever encounter The Red House Mystery by A.A. Milne? I want to find that one some day. It's supposed to be his best adult fiction by quite a few measures. P.G. Wodenhouse considered it just about the best mystery written in English. wr ()()
