Good By Stealth
My thoughts on Goodby Stealth by #HenriettaClandon reissued by @DeanStPress #CrimeFiction #BookReview
A review of Good By Stealth by Henrietta Clandon – 240112 John Vahey, a prolific Northern Irish writer, published books under six pseudonyms, including Henrietta Clandon. Good by Stealth originally came out in 1936 and is one of four of Clandon’s works reissued by Dean Street Press, and is reminiscent, without the twist, of Richard Hull’s 1934 debut, The Murder of my Aunt. There is no murder, no…

Jack looks like „This was my turn and it could have been a hot night, but someone definitely destroyed it by now. Damn it Aunt Prudence, damn it“

i love how unfatherly crowley and aziraphale both are when it comes down to it. sure aziraphale is more than willing to give the young people in his life help and advice and be their friend but he and crowley spent six years (eleven in the book) practically raising a kid (you just know his parents weren't around that often) and by the end they didn't even like him. crowley even suggested they just fucking kill him. he turned three kids into lizards for annoying him right after he destroyed their house. like it was that or kill them obviously but he did NOT hesitate with the newts. that's so funny to me. they're just inherently disinclined to parenthood. we need more characters like them actually

But she is a murder doll, let her murder
*Enid walks into the dorm carrying a couple shopping bags*
Enid: It was great just having an afternoon to shop with Divina. We almost never hang just us two. So was Polly good while I was gone?
Wednesday: Tanaka has not screamed bloody murder. My assumption is they are fine.
Enid: Wait. Did you pass our child off to Yoko to babysit?
Wednesday: She volunteered, actually.
Enid:
Wednesday: Have I made a mistake?
*A tree down in Jericho*
Yoko: ... and that is how I found out Bloody Marys had no blood in them.
Polly the Doll: Rip off
Yoko: Right? Oh there he is, Mr 'Give Yoko a C in math'. Remember your line?
Polly pulls on a burlap bag with two eye holes: Yes Auntie Yo Yo
Yoko: Good girl. Now go get 'em.
Polly jumps from the tree: DEATH FROM ABOVE!
*man's voice* OH Jesus christ
Yoko pulls out a written note: Three down. Next is that cashier who gave me the wrong change.
*man's voice* My Leg!

Chapter 7: The Baker's Boy Murder (also here on A03)
Vimes looked down into Dotsie’s kind, black eyes.
“He is going to wish you found him first,” she said with a smile.
“No,” Vimes said.
The ladies looked at him blankly. “But you can come with me if you like,” Vimes said graciously, and then he walked towards the door that Sadie had pointed to. It wasn’t that the Agony Aunts didn’t scare him, they did, but Vimes was in a mood. To think they’d asked him to just walk away from the hardest part of the job. What sort of man would it make him if he didn’t take part in this?
[ID: a digitally colored pencil sketch of Vimes, Sadie, and Dotsie standing over a dead body in the rain. The body is a indistinct bloody mass lying in a puddle in the foreground. In the background, Vimes stands to the left in his guard uniform holding his lantern up, his other hand is a fist. Dotsie , a short old woman in all black and a white bonnet, is next to him, holding a black handbag, her eyes are green like a cat's in the dark. Next to her is Sadie, a tall thin old woman also in all black and a white bonnet, holding an umbrella over herself and Dotsie. She is looking at the body, her eyes are the same as dotsies. The lantern is casting orange light on the scene, and the rain and darkness shade everything else in blue. End ID]
