This will be my fifth year of enthusiastically rambling (i.e. blogging) about detective stories and it seems appropriate to mark the start of 2015 with a long, multi-part review of The Black Lizard Big Book of Locked-Room Mysteries. He's dreaming of a sequel to this anthology.

James Randi, the magician who explains miracles. When I first learned of the detective stories penned by Paul Halter, it was the name of John Dickson Carr.
