GAD Mystery Word of the Day

 


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 Mitral Stenosis (noun): a condition usually the result of disease in which the mitral valve is abnormally narrow

[still from Don Among the Dead Men by C. E. Vulliamy] "There was always a mitral stenosis, my dear chap, always a mitral stenosis with a murmur; but there was no use making a fuss."

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!
