Doyle was, to me, guilty of the same thing, having Holmes pull information about the types of bicycle tyre treads (just as an example) to solve a case, when the reader didn't have access to that. The author I read recently (also Victorian, though American) Anna Catherine Green was simply fantastic about giving the reader the clues, slowly, and making the reader continually reassess the situation. If you get stuck and need another author sometime, try her Leavenworth Case!Gypsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726952526544619098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788714059419397052.post-44387257959926523472011-02-04T05:50:46.459-05:002011-02-04T05:50:46.459-05:00It takes a certain flair to write a good mystery s...It takes a certain flair to write a good mystery story and few are brilliant like Doyle or Christie. Having hidden clues spring to life is kind of a cop-out and happens all the time. Still it sounded interesting if just for the historical value.<br />Have a great day Gypsy!<br />JaimieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
