Unsure where but you'll see why...

A couple of guides I discovered in an inflight magazine recently;
how to tell a mystery from a thriller and whats fits the list.
Thought we'd clear up any mystery right here in the Lounge!
Thrilling, ain't it?!

Thanks. Neat little list. I like it when there's something actually interesting in an inflight magazine!

Me being me, of course, now I've got to take issue with it. See, they've dropped Erle Stanley Gardner (who I've been reading a lot of recently) into the "Classic Sleuths" category, probably just because he's considered a classic author. The stories, however, run the gamut from "Classic Sleuth" to "Legal Thriller" to "Private Detective" to (so I've read, but haven't got to 'em yet) "Comic Capers".

Gratuitous plug for Gardner + being nitpicky 'cuz I'm bored? Check!

Carl Hiaason under comic capers ??? certainly black comedy.

I'm just glad somebody saw this, read it, and responded to it! I made a difference! Now continue, talk amongst yourselves!.....lol
