    MM - Getting Away With Burglary

    HEY GUYS sorry for not posting!! I've been real busy I promise :(BUT this week's episode is great! For our first puzzle, we have a mind-bending mystery concerning death, a will, and who gets the fortune. For the second, we have a man framed on circumstantial evidence that we need to prove innocent, and for the final puzzle... a foolish man makes an attempt at "the perfect crime." Needless to say - it doesn't go well.Thanks for listening!If you have anything to tell me, email me at class...

    Ep. 25B - Nailed Shoes

    This week, we dig even deeper into R. Austin Freeman's story "The Man With the Nailed Shoes" - and we even gain a suspect! However, that suspect is soon cleared (or so we think) of suspicion, as Thorndyke himself takes on the case of his defense. We'll see where this goes...Remember, send book recommendations to Classicmysteriespod@gmail.comIf you ever feel like donating, you can do it either directly or by becoming a patron!My Etsy store - I sell cute lil cross stitched earrings and the like...

    MM - Forgery, Murder, & (Near) Death by Bath

    MM - Forgery, Murder, & (Near) Death by Bath

    This week is such a banger! The first puzzle was a difficult one - we had to figure out exactly how a forgery was committed. In our second one, a murder is committed! There are few marks in the snow around the body, so there are limited clues to work with. The third puzzle is a weird question of how an eccentric old man escaped a bathroom (not a regular bathroom - a room with a bath in it). It's a great episode! Definitely worth it to listen in.Thanks for listening!If you have anything to tel...
