The Macbeth Murder Mystery


UPDATE:  It has been borne in upon me that my copying of The Macbeth Murder Mystery from another site may infringe upon copyright. I have deleted it, but here is the original New  Yorker link:  New Yorker, and New Yorker Folio.

It can also be read in its entirety here.

I have had a cold I can't shake and spent the weekend at the pen, so, for your Thanksgiving entertainment, enjoy a trip down memory lane - and murder - with James Thurber!

  2. For some reason I was thinking about Thurber the other night- I remember his New Yorker cartoons so clearly and I was trying to remember if seals featured prominently. Your blog answers that question. A real Thanksgiving treat!

  5. Thank you all! I'm doing much better.
    The Macbeth Murder Mystery really opened my 12 year old eyes as to what a fun time you could have with literature. Perhaps it's the original fan fiction? No, that would be Henry Fielding's Joseph Andrews...
    Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving!

  6. A good laugh to start the morning. Conspiracies abound everywhere.

  7. Love them! Looking up Macbeth Murder Mystery now...you never lead me astray, Eve. Or maybe I should reverse that...you always lead me delightfully astray.

Welcome. Please feel free to comment.

Our corporate secretary is notoriously lax when it comes to comments trapped in the spam folder. It may take Velma a few days to notice, usually after digging in a bottom drawer for a packet of seamed hose, a .38, her flask, or a cigarette.

She’s also sarcastically flip-lipped, but where else can a P.I. find a gal who can wield a candlestick phone, a typewriter, and a gat all at the same time? So bear with us, we value your comment. Once she finishes her Fatima Long Gold.
