Encyclopedia Brown Finds the Clues | Donald J. Sobol

Checking in with my #EBBR pals! I was bested in three cases. I‘ll put in under a spoiler comment my issue with one particular.

Fun fact: we find that Encyclopedia lives in a state with a coastline! I‘m imagining Oregon.

I am enjoying the goofy humor, like:

“I‘ve seen a match box and a boardwalk, but I‘ve never had to solve a pillowcase,” said Encyclopedia thoughtfully. 😂

“He‘s like a set of false teeth, always trying to get even” 🤣

Ruthiella In “The Case of the Stolen Diamonds “ would small glass beads really break that easily? 🤔 I think not?

The Hound of the Baskervilles: Another Adventure of Sherlock Holmes | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

If you are in or around the Houston area, definitely go see Todd Waite's final Alley performance. He is and has always been amazing as Sherlock. I thoroughly enjoyed this show. ❤️

dabbe I wish I could! #sherlocked 🖤 23h

Librarybelle I almost rolled my eyes, since we‘ve seen this time and again in the stories, in which Holmes decides what is just and who should be punished. The justice system is there to parse judgment on guilt or innocence (at least, up until recently when the justice system is being attacked on a broader scale, but I digress…). Holmes and Watson should not be judge and jury. And yet, they were. 1d

eeclayton @Librarybelle 💯 1d

dabbe I guess Holmes thought justice was done: the “eye for an eye“ idea. Dr. Sterndale killed the murderer of his love, so hey, it's all okay! As long as he goes to Africa, I guess. Big 🙄 on this one. I did the eye-rolling for you, @Librarybelle! 🤣 21h

Librarybelle He seems to have more respect for Watson. There is the moment when Watson saves his life, and Holmes shows a rare bit of emotion and almost a human reaction to Watson and to the situation. 1d

eeclayton @Librarybelle “almost a human reaction“ 😂 I agree.
But he does drag Watson into this crazy experiment while being suspicious that the substance has already killed two people. That's not the kind of thing you'd expose your friend to. 1d

dabbe @eeclayton @Librarybelle
I think once Sherlock gets his nose involved in a case, he's basically ignorant to all other things--like life itself. I'm glad he shows a wee remorse and gratefulness to Watson. 21h

dabbe This quote truly summed up for me the overall bromance love between these two: “ 'You know,' I answered with some emotion, for I had never seen so much of Holmes‘s heart before, 'that it is my greatest joy and privilege to help you.' “ 😭 21h

Librarybelle I liked this one, because it was creepy. I read this late last night and almost chided myself for doing so…I wanted what little sleep I get anymore! But, I liked the thriller elements of death by fright, a possible person at the window, but really no visible signs of anyone. 1d

eeclayton I liked it, too. I enjoyed the Cornwall setting. 1d

Cuilin @Librarybelle @eeclayton I loved the Cornwall setting too. Not too fond of the creepiness as I am easily spooked. 1d

dabbe @Librarybelle @eeclayton @Cuilin ... agree with all! A delightfully creepy tale with the moody moors for atmosphere as well. 21h

Still Life: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel | Louise Penny

Giving this a try tonight. Has anyone watched it?

RowReads1 I had mixed feelings about it. Try it out. I ended up liking the quirky characters and seeing Quebec. 2d

Susanita Mixed feelings is a good description. Alfred Molina is great. It‘s based on the second book with some other bits thrown into the mix. 2d

PuddleJumper @RowReads1 @Susanita I've watched the first two episodes and I'm a bit underwhelmed. There wasn't much substance to it. I'll stick with it and see if it gets better 1d

A good old fashioned murder mystery. A cast of many interesting suspects. I did pick the murderer early, but it had me flip flopping often! 3.5 ⭐️
