I'm visiting friends and haven't had time to reread the story (I read it a few weeks ago!). I want to promise to read and comment at some point this week but we'll see

I actually managed to re-read A Case of Identity but then I got sick while traveling so had no energy to comment. I'm doing much better, though, so yeah it should be fine :)

no idea why I put "mistaken" in there but now B's quoted it so my mistaken mistake is embedded for all to see, lol

Ooh, yeah, I'm good to read Mistaken Identity this weekend, been all over the place and sick, but will be ok now.

I should check if I missed any Dracula daily too.

This weekend is A Case of Identity or rather A Case of Conan Doyle Rushing Through the Streets to The Strand, Tripping Over and Hastily Putting His Papers Back in the Wrong Order So That This Story and The Red-Headed League End Up Flipped.

But the strand went with the snappier title.

I completely forgot "doing it this weekend" meant "starting the conversation so Cal doesn't talk into the aether", sorry sorry

For a case where nothing much really happens, it is odious, isn't it?? Too bad the mother couldn't have been there as well to be humiliated, she would have deserved it. What's stopping that husband from quietly murdering her and marrying the daughter?? Nothing, that's what

I think I've been reading way too much Christie, lol


Indeed, I have found that it is usually in unimportant matters that there is a field for the observation, and for the quick analysis of cause and effect which gives the charm to an investigation.
