“IF I DON’T KILL U
CALL ME HINDOO”
kirjoitti Sir Henry Merrivale, #CarterDickson'in (eli #JohnDicksonCarr'in) kuulu eksentrinen etsivähahmo unessani poliisiystävälleen Hadleylle horjuvin tikkukirjaimin, paitsi että unessa “KILL U” o jotakin, jonka merkitys oli ’saa kiinni murhaajaa, pidätä häntä iltaan mennessä’ mutta kuitenkin rimmasi. (Karkea puhekielinen ilmaisu sopisi silti HM:lle.) #unet

I’m #question’ing my understanding of #English. #JohnDicksonCarr writes:

…Budge always walked with even a more dignified gait…

Shouldn’t this be: “with an even more dignified”? #linguistics #grammar

And How!Nov 28, 2023
Committed to starting (and finishing) what will probably be my last book of 2023: "The Plague Court Murders," a 1934 mystery by grand-meister John Dickson Carr (writing under a pseudonym). I know nix about the characters, setting, plot, or how it ranks in Carr's (murdered!) body of work, but I'm prepared to find out the hard way. If I don't return in 24 hours, notify the authorities. #Books #Bookstodon #JohnDicksonCarr #Mystery

Castle Skull is an early John Dickson Carr mystery with lots of gothic fiction overtones. Fast-paced and nicely plotted with a wonderful setting - a castle in the form of a human skull. Lots of fun.

John Dickson Carr’s The Devil in Velvet (1951) is certainly an unconventional detective novel. How many fictional detectives enlist Satan's help to solve the crime? And it involves time travel. Definitely not your average crime novel. I love it.
