    smooth Belgian jazz version of the scary Doctor Who theme
  2. plausible - like the penguin’s “army” isn’t
  3. well there’s a reason Agatha Christie’s the best-selling novelist of all time But even Christie plots are often unconvincing, for example the contrived motivation in The Sittaford Mystery, and filled with stock characters. Still, she had a winning formula that has endured and no-one else has matched while DLS heads towards the ranks of the forgotten
  4. there’s a kinda similar and equally bizarre practice in China that continues even now involving young boys’ urine and eggs except ginger hair is not required… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_boy_egg Edit to add guess that’s another factoid
  5. I’ve only read one DLS novel - The Nine Tailors - which my dad recommended and I read years ago. Written in 1934 it’s of its time and the society depicted has to be accepted and enjoyed as such (ours will be equally harshly judged by future generations I’m sure ). The mystery is well constructed and intricate, and you won’t guess the murderer The bleak, flat fenland, mid-winter setting is ominously atmospheric, effectively a character itself. And how many murder mysteries have you read that are based around that ancient, quintessentially English and supposedly harmless activity of bellringing?

In 1941, during WWII, the British govt was busy doing very important work on things like… new ice cream regulations designing a new 3 pin electrical plug and socket (which we still use today, 80 years later!) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/nisro/1941/25/pdfs/nisro_19410025_en.pdf https://electrifyingwomen.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/56/2020/08/Microsoft-Word-Haslett-2-Script.pdf
