I have read many and I do mean many english mysteries. They're very interesting. These brain teasers with lots of potential suspects, almost none of whom behave very well toward the police and almost all of whom are quirky, eccentric in some way or even several ways with tons of clues, both false and real with loads of atmosphere in manor houses. Have you ever noticed how british mystery writers seem to want to level the playing field by killing off the aristocracy. Talk about class warfare. Oh, and the detectives all shapes and sizes and backgrounds. They give us slumming nobleman with plummy accents and loyal retainers who go sleuthing as a hobby, displaced little belgians retired from official policing who have somehow pitched up on british shore's village spinsters armed only with knitting needles and superhuman powers of observation. Parish priest using catholic logic and police inspectors writing sensitive poetry and on and on. Yes. And that Sherlock fellow, whatever he might be, it takes all kinds you might say, but that's okay because they have all kinds. We have one that's okay.
