Let's get a mystery thread going

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 18 21:32:17 2013 No.3372412 I think Qiu Xialong is not as well known as he should be.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 18 21:34:17 2013 No.3372417 Hercule Poirot is probably my favorite detective ever conceived. Also by Agatha Christie by the way

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 18 21:45:17 2013 No.3372448 >>3372417 I prefer Joseph Rouletabille, Gaston Leroux's character, for that kind of pulpy detective story.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 18 23:22:17 2013 No.3372611 >>3372417 >>3372448 Nobody beats Holmes for me.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 18 23:23:17 2013 No.3372614 Guys, my lecturer was telling me about a series of detective stories written by a priest, and he was banned from writing anymore by the church. Who was he talking about? I can't remember for the likes of me

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 18 23:27:17 2013 No.3372619 >>3372614 Kool Keith wrote detective stories about a priest the "Father Brown" series. Ronald Knox was a priest who wrote detective stories. Might be one of those two.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 18 23:29:17 2013 No.3372622 >>3372619 He was American I'm pretty sure. It seemed like real pulpy detective fiction, in a good way.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 19 08:53:18 2013 No.3373523 >>3372406 Take that racist shit somewhere else. That is not /pol/ or /b/ here

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 19 09:25:17 2013 No.3373557 >>3372406 omg you used the n word. >>>/pol/

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 19 09:31:17 2013 No.3373567 >>3373523 Fuck off, pussy.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 19 09:54:18 2013 No.3373598 >>3372611 Moriarty beat Holmes for you.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 19 09:58:17 2013 No.3373606 >>3372412 too western to chinese, but I like his books. Red mandarin dress is a nice book

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 19 10:03:18 2013 No.3373633 >>3372619 >Kool Keith wrote detective stories about a priest the "Father Brown" series. Subtle joke, I like it. If you like religious detectives, I quite like Brother Cadfael, and the Name of the Rose.
