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.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
