Yes, things have been a little quiet here of late, mainly due to a rather packed work schedule and other tedious matters. Hopefully, I’ll get back to at least semi-regular posting when things feel a little less hectic. In the meantime though, I want to take the time to flag up a collaborative effort my blogging buddy JJ of The Invisible Event invited me to take part in. Read on…
As part of his ongoing investigations into the wonders, intricacies and delights of classic detective fiction, JJ has hosted a number of spoiler heavy discussions on a range of notable works. I’ve enjoyed reading along and adding the odd comment when I thought I could sneak one in as unobtrusively as possible amid a lot of well-informed contributions from people who are far better read than I, and so it was very flattering to be asked to participate in one myself!
Anyway, to cut to the chase, next Saturday, if all goes well, should see JJ posting the chat he and I had about the 1936 Ellery Queen novel Halfway House, as announced here. I’ll put up a link here when it goes live, but wanted to flag it up in advance for anyone interested in perusing our back and forth.
So, see you soon…

Ah, what I always thought should have been called “The Swedish Match Mystery” – awesome!

No, not planning on disappearing any time soon, Margot. Recent years though have seen me producing bursts of increased activity when I chance upon a bit more available time, followed by the occasional pause while I deal with life’s more mundane demands.

I understand. All play and no work would suit me just fine. 🙂

I wouldn’t complain either, unfortunately, I think my bank account might become distressed pretty fast.
