October is here… and so is our first theme! This final month of our second season is the Month of Mystery, which means we’ll be bringing you five all-new episodes featuring five old spooky, mysterious, maniacal, sensational stories! First up is Clinton H. Stagg’s 1916 whodunit, Silver Sandals, featuring the blind detective Thornley Colton. Yes, you read that right—our sleuth is blind! But that doesn’t stop him from delving into a seedy, spooky world of Egyptomania, cryptic last wishes, mistaken identities, and a walking corpse! Plus you’ll find out just what Amy and Katja really think of pumpkin spice.
Topics and shout-outs in this episode include: Sherlock Holmes, Helen Keller, Richard Harding Davis, Alfred Hitchcock, Anne of Green Gables, autumn, reincarnation, Napoleon, the Rosetta Stone, the Washington Monument, hypnosis, Egyptology, King Tutankhamun, the Crystal Palace, the Great Exhibition of 1851, blindness, vintage mysteries, Edgar Allen Poe, Louisa May Alcott, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and pumpkin spice.
I feel the same way as Katya in regard to Summer being my favorite month and Fall being harder to take because I know Winter is around the corner. However, unlike both of you, I love all of the pumpkin flavors and spices in the Fall! Thanks for all you do, I look forward to your episodes every week.
Very interesting murder mystery! Great “whodunit”. Couldn’t put it down.
