i hereby solicit recommendations of detective fiction. if you have any of that (authors or particular works) you like, i’d appreciate hearing them!

i am currently more looking for the sort of work where the question is more whether the protagonist will achieve any sort of good outcome rather than for the reader to compete with the detective at solving the mystery. like, not poirot/holmes style stuff. that said if you have stuff you really like of the latter sort i’d also be curious but would appreciate if you indicated that it was that kind of thing :)

@Lady good for him

can somebody explain to me how to distinguish between the different (sub?)genres of fiction that often have private investigators as protagonists

@wallhackio Stolen Season by S.J. Tucker

@wallhackio it's a brand new record for 1990, They Might be Giants' brand new album Flood

flannery sure complicates fighting her

1 Warning: names may not be ordinary in non-participating locations.

@gaditb (i instead just don’t believe them to be definable)

@Lady classic starter pokémon trait

pickup is such a good ability

unrelatedly i decided to try the iOS auto light/dark mode setting and apparently the minesweeper app i play is kinna gorgeous in dark mode.

@Lady ah, fair.

@Lady i'm perplexed by being really surprised that a fellow student is the same age as you.
