Was reading a mystery from the 1930s and turned the page and found a surprise.
#My opinion on this author is that it's not actually reasonably possible to solve the mystery because his idea of providing clues is#basically just leaving holes in the timeline where anyone could've been doing anything and nothing saying whether they were doing what they#said they were doing or indicating that they weren't or providing any info besides people were in the general vicinity#And the detective basically just decides that X did Y and that Z knew about A and B interfered with C and such for about 3 layers deep#You can't disprove it as the reader but it requires a lot of suppositions and assumptions about things that aren't shown on the page
