okay, i finished shiver - rode a little closer to the thriller half of the thriller-mystery spectrum, but a better read than i feared when reading the Painfully Straight earlier portions of the story

really hoping the next story on the list actually has a real locked room mystery, though, like please

#it's funny because for all that locked room mysteries are considered a staple of the mystery genre #most of the examples i can think of come from like... detective conan and umineko #which are very modern responses to the mystery genre #i think i might count murder on the orient express as having a locked room mystery?#and i think the tale of the speckled band in the sherlock holmes canon is also a locked room mystery #but off the top of my head i can't think of any other classic mystery stories that utilize the technique #granted i probably just can't remember them or i haven't read them ahahaha
