Sometimes my thoughts seem to get away from me when I get on a theme I'm particularly enthusiastic about, so I'm pleased to hear that this post was cohesive. And the original cover of HOUN was remarkably lovely. It was very fun to hear the collective gasp of realization as Vincent Wright revealed it to the audience!<br /><br />@Jolie: Thank you for reading and thank you for your kind comment! I'm not as familiar with Georgette Heyer's works as I probably should be, and you've inspired me to begin them anew. Thank you again!goddessinsepiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216346071787396697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756608595761528683.post-52304907389121724452011-08-24T00:47:33.675-07:002011-08-24T00:47:33.675-07:00Wonderful post!

Other mystery writers, such as Georgette Heyer, have used the "no clues" technique in their stories, but of course no one does it better than Conan Doyle and Holmes. <br /><br />www.joliebeaumont.weebly.comJoliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01253978212554146032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756608595761528683.post-3041248525704255702011-08-23T20:33:08.076-07:002011-08-23T20:33:08.076-07:00A beautiful post, woven with care.

Noticing what is "not there" is certainly one of Holmes' peculiar gifts. I am also delighted with the connection you made to the cover art and artist of HOUN. Thanks for presenting that cover and leading me to take a close look--not that I would pass over such a beautiful cover!<br /><br />I'm also happy to see your new FB page for Better Holmes & Gardens!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00187517182328614133noreply@blogger.com
