My new bookish meme for 2026: the Golden Age of Detection (GAD) Mystery Word of the Day. Whenever I find a word that I'm unfamiliar with, I'm going to actually take time to look it up and share it with mystery-lovers everywhere. 😊
Today's GAD Mystery Word of the Day is Diapason (noun): 1. a burst of sound 2. a musical sound that gets louder, like the sound of an organ 3. range, scope
[still from Don Among the Dead Men by C. E. Vulliamy] The rest of the proceedings in the Bouleuterion were chilled and orderly, and all were relieved when Dr. Blewit again let loose his diapason thunders, the doors opened, and Royalty, followed by the great men and their satellite worthies, filed out and walked informally to the Great Hall.
