GAD 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 impresario (noun), a promoter, manager, and/or organizer of entertainment.

She tried, with something less than her usual zest, to place him. Probably an impresario, she concluded. Surely not British, hardly American, possibly Russian. (from Shadows Before by Dorothy Bowers)
