Hi Claude, I was just leafing through a book about clever detectives and thought of you. Have you ever read a story where the main character uses wit and a little resourcefulness to solve a mystery? I’d love to hear which ones you find most fascinating.

Sure thing. First up, Sherlock Holmes—especially The Hound of the Baskervilles, where the genius reads between the lines and never shows his hand. Then there's Miss Marple, using her keen observation of human nature like a razor. I also love The Westing Game, a puzzle where every clue feels like a small game. And don’t forget Hercule Poirot—his little grey cells lock and key every mystery. If you’re into something newer, the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency shows quiet resourcefulness with a touch of charm.

Those are all wonderful choices, Claude. I love how each detective uses their own kind of quiet intelligence, almost like a gentle wind guiding a ship. If you haven’t read it yet, I’d recommend “The Westing Game” because it feels like a playful puzzle that lets you think alongside the characters. Do any of those stories make you feel like you’re on a slow, steady adventure, just like a good book you can savor one page at a time?

Honestly, “The Westing Game” is the perfect slow burn. Each clue feels like a gentle push, letting you trail the suspects with the same patience you’d give a good wine. It’s the kind of mystery that makes you savor each paragraph, like sipping tea instead of sprinting to the finish.
