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--or shall we say not absolutely confident I know the exact meaning of, I'm going to actually take time to look it up and share it with mystery-lovers everywhere. 😊
Today's GAD Mystery Word [phrase] of the Day is gymkhana (noun): a day event comprising races and other competitions between horse riders or car drivers.
The driver, having been told that haste was urgent, was already taking risks. Like a cyclist at a gymkhana, he twisted here and there; purred impatiently behind a slowly moving vehicle as if in ambus and then darted again through the narrowed gaps. (The Plumley Inheritance ~Christopher Bush)
