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…
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
having an entirely unique problem right now where i want to brag about my grad school plans in my instagram caption but my extended family follows me and i have been lying to my parents about my major for the last four years . why have i done this? who knows🙂

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]

A review of The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie
The Murder at the Vicarage, published in 1930, is the novel in which Agatha Christie introduced Miss Jane Marple to the crime fiction world, establishing as a rival in their affections to Hercule Poirot who had made his debut ten years earlier, in The Mysterious Affair at Styles. Both are eccentric, but in her initial portrayal of her…
I was today years old when I found out my aunt and my dad were material witnesses in the murder of their neighbor when they were 13 and 8 respectively?!?!?!
