Hi all,
I just joined (and just subscribed to Mystery Scene Magazine) and figured that I'd go and introduce myself for what's it worth.
I'm more on the newbie side to mysteries (more of a SF&F person over the years) but I've always followed a bit. Thanks to the Covidication of our lives I've been watching more especially since subscribing to Britbox where I roared through
Vera and am working my way through
Inspector Morse as well as
Dalziel and Pascoe. I've historically been a fan of shows like classic
Columbo and the 1970s all too short
Ellery Queen tv series. And I have a lot of love for the classic Hollywood comedic mysteries like the Thin Man movies and ones that I'd be less brave enough to admit this early on!
Because of my interests in things French and Japanese - I do follow some mystery shows and books along there as well.
On the reading front I do things a bit less but it's slowly growing. Generally I read in ebook form and/or get from the library then only buy the print version when I think I'll be wanting a more permanent copy (or find a good deal on something I want) since space is precious. I started as a child with
Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators (aka Jupiter Jones...) and over the years I've read Rabbi Small, Perry Mason, Ellery Queen, Charlie Chan, Nero Wolfe and Sherlock Holmes, 'natch! Probably the most recent one I've read and really liked was M.B. Shaw's
Murder at the Mill. I've periodically (pun so intended) read Ellery Queen's and Alfred Hitchcock's magazines (not currently subscribing since I'm way behind in my reading there.) Recently I bought my first print mystery which I'll looking forward to sitting down with soon is the
The First Rumpole Omnibus.
So that's medium of it (not short and not, hopefully, too long) of it. So still very much on the newish side but hope to learn more!
