GAD Mystery Word of the Day: Glaucous

 


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 of the Day: Glaucous (adj): Of a dull grayish-green or blue color

Heck's glaucous eyes were fixed on Littlejohn's face. He was enjoying himself. (The Body in the Dumb River ~George Bellairs)


I was thinking it had to do with glaucoma.
