About us

What do Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot mean to you? What about Dr. Gideon Fell or Columbo? Let's not forget Philip Marlowe or Sam Spade.

Hi, I'm Ryan. I'm hoping to bring together mystery enthusiasts of various sub-genres for reading, discussion, and friends. In addition to usual book club discussions I'm thinking of having an occasional social or a movie night at Mr. Tramps.

Here we meet The Woman, one of four people to defeat Sherlock Holmes. More a thriller than a mystery, but still shows The Master's skills at work.

"To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position." -Ibid
