Just ahead of Part Eleven of our nightly audio adventure, a reminder of Steyn's still newish weekend music show on Serenade Radio, every Saturday at 5pm GMT/12 noon North American Eastern. This week's episode features a cavalcade of Christmas songs from the Continent and the Commonwealth, plus a Sinatra Sextet of Hollywood rarities.
In tonight's episode of Mystery in White, Mr Maltby explains to certain of the party what's going on:
"Exhibit A," began the old man, touching the hammer. "I found it on my way here, near this house. It was partially, but not completely, covered by the snow. Does that suggest anything to either of you?"
"It suggests something to me," answered David.
"What?"
"That it must have been left there or dropped quite recently, otherwise it would have been completely covered by the snow."
"A good mark for that, Mr. Carrington. Your conclusion is the same as mine. I picked it up and I put it in my pocket. We will return to it when I describe a little incident..."
Members of The Mark Steyn Club can hear Mark read Part Eleven of Mystery in White simply by clicking here and logging-in.
We like both reality and fictional fancies here at SteynOnline, but there's nothing healthier than taking a short break from the ever more implausible plot-twists of the news-cycle and exploring the delights of our Tales for Our Time home page. It's configured in Netflix tile style, with the stories organized by category - thrillers, fantasy, romance, etc - which we hope will make it easy for you to find a favourite diversion of an evening. You can access almost seventy cracking capers here - and all previous episodes of our current adventure here.
If you've yet to hear any of our Tales for Our Time, you can do so by joining The Mark Steyn Club and enjoy our nightly audio adventures every evening twenty minutes before lowering your lamp - or hoard the episodes and binge-listen at the weekend or on a long car journey, if your government still permits you to take one. For more details on that and other benefits to Steyn Club membership, see here - and don't forget our special Gift Membership: it makes a perfect Christmas present.
Please join Mark right here tomorrow evening for another episode of Mystery in White.
~We thank you for all your support these last grisly few months - and thank you especially to all those new members of The Mark Steyn Club, and those old members who've signed up a chum for a SteynOnline Gift Certificate or a Steyn Club Gift Membership. Steyn Clubbers span the globe, from London, Ontario to London, England to London, Kiribati. We hope to welcome many more new members in the years ahead.
