    MM - Getting Away With Burglary

    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!

    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...

    MM - Drunken Advice & Restaurant Murders

    MM - Drunken Advice & Restaurant Murders

    This week, for our first puzzle we hear about a murder in a restaurant... and we need to locate an elusive clue to convict the culprit. Secondly, we hear about the story of a man who answered a newspaper ad... and died. Our job is to discover how his murder was pulled off. For our final puzzle, we're given the age-old riddle of boat captains racing to a place... when they're supposed to be trying to get there last. Heard of it?

    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!
