How do you do, it's your final clue.
It's Kenneth Branagh, looking dandy.
Probably drinking a pint of shandy.
He's done a lot of these you know.
Did someone mention Upstart Crow?
Congratulations to everyone who spotted that the last two clues were from Moonlighting.
Anyway, in the words of John, Paul, George and Ringo, here's another clue for you all......
I'm now onto my seventh murder mystery novel of the year (a locked room mystery).
Who knew reading and writing about crime novels could be such fun? I did, I did...

For some reason, I've decided to read a murder mystery every week in 2025 and then write about it. I'm on my third. The case in book 1 was solved by a writer. Book 2 - actors. Book 3 (review out Fri) will be the actual police.
Catch up.
