Man, when I go around reblogging it’s hard to find things that are like actually detectives doing detective things… Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places.

Maybe I should make my own things… but that would take time and anyways tumblrs mostly about reblogging right?

allthingsfinnish:

Finnish reading public was familiar with detective stories in the form of translations from the 1880s onwards. The first Finnish language-written detective stories appeared in 1910, when Richard (Rikhard) Hornanlinna (Rudolf Richard Ruth) published two collections, Kellon salaisuus (The Secret of the Clock) and Lahella kuolemaa (Close to Death)

“Richard Hornanlinna was an interesting character who did work for a time as a private detective but also served jail time for blackmail.
These two collections featured a gentleman-amateur sleuth, Max Rudolf, who has a Holmsian flair for disguises and deduction. In 1920 he published Musta tohtori (The Black Doctor) in which a lawyer is the hero and the story is a mixture of horror and romance in the manner of Poe”.

CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS IN DEDECUTON

Objective lesson

In which, Elllery gets fooled by a 15-year-old, who was smart enough to hid the money in the one place Ellery wouldn’t think to check.’
 

No Parking

Ellery races to help a friend in need. Will the 10 minutes it takes him to park make all the difference in solving this crime of passion?
 

No Place to Live

Nice cheap apartments in New York City are hard to come by. This isn’t one of them. The police break into to find a “Mr. Smith” and instead find a killer.
 

Miracles Do Happen

Henry just wanted to help his family but when the loan-shark comes to collect, it’s up to his neighbor Ellery to prove that he didn’t kill the man.

My favorite scene in two quotes:

Always has the ladies right were he wants them this man. Barging in her room. Like “It’s ok I thought you might have been dead, so I didn’t knock.”
