🚨 MYSTERY BOOK CLUB 🚨

Get in, losers!! We’re solving TWO mysteries just in time for spooky season. ☠️

🔍 OCTOBER: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (1939)

Ten strangers, each with something to hide, are summoned by a mysterious stranger to an isolated island off the coast of Devon. One by one, they meet their end . . .

The best-selling mystery of all time, and Agatha Christie’s finest work. A must-read if you haven’t already, and a perfect choice for a reread if you have.

🔍 NOVEMBER: The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji (1987)

Seven students spend a week-long vacation on Tsunojima Island off the coast of Japan, where six months prior, the inhabitants were brutally murdered in an unsolved case. Upon arrival, they begin to suspect they, too, are in danger.

An homage to Christie’s classic, this is Ayatsuji’s debut novel and an example of Japanese honkaku (traditional) mystery.

We will read both, and therefore be able to compare and contrast 🕵️‍♀️

Discussions will take place in my Discord server, The Locked Room, which you can join via my Bindery (🔗 in my bio). Any trouble joining just DM me and I’ll help you out! And if there is interest in a live discussion (Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Zoom) please tell me!!!!

DO YOU KNOW CLUE (1985)? 🔪 Happy 40th birthday

DO YOU KNOW CLUE (1985)? 🔪

Happy 40th birthday to one of my comfort movies! A masterclass in board game adaptation and unapologetically wacky humor. Miss Scarlet has been my go-to Clue character for years and of course I love her in the movie too 😇

I do think I’ll redo this sketch at some point but hopefully you find my mishaps amusing. (I refilled my markers just prior to filming, huge mistake.)
