014 - (Part 2) Murder in the Crooked House [Dying Message Challenge]

09/19/20 • 78 min

Dying Message: The Detective Anime Mystery Podcast

We spoil one of the most unexpected endings of any mystery novel, and find out who will be crowned "Detective Champion" on Part 2 of Dying Message Challenge. This is the gameshow/bookclub two-part spin-off conclusion you have been waiting for! It's an all out (and very courteous brawl) as we finally get some time to dive into all the secrets in this book. Warning: We are utterly spoiling the ending of the murder mystery Murder in the Crooked House by Sojia Shimada. If you haven't listened to Part 1, you'll want to start there (It was episode 13 of the podcast). Spin-off podcast cover art by Myriam Bloom. Music excerpted from "Face Punch" by Jesse Spillane. Thank you to our amateur sleuths Neil Bardhan, Kate Esposito, and Michael Savitski.

013 - (Part 1) Murder in the Crooked House [Dying Message Challenge]

Is it a book club? Is it a game show? Our spin-off: Dying Message Challenge is a little bit of both! Three contestants try to solve the murders in the novel Murder in the Crooked House before reading the end of the book. They'll earn additional points in a series of challenges posed by host Noah Max Levine, and compete for the title of "Detective Champion." Part 1 spoils parts of the book -- but does not spoil the solution to the murders. If you enjoy our coverage of mystery anime, see what we can do with a Japanese mystery novel!

015 - Detective Academy Q: 23 w/ Caleb Zane Huett [In Which We Dine on a Train]

We take a literary train ride to examine the flimsy alibi in Detective Academy Q: Episode 23 with mystery guest Caleb Zane Huett. In the anime, a picture book author thinks she's devised the perfect crime. On our podcast, a children's book author argues that she really, really hasn't. Plus: Michael becomes the Captain of the Podcast, and we brainstorm a few theories for an anonymous amorous Kingkiller Chronicles postcard. Podcast cover art by Myriam Bloom. Music excerpted from "Solve the Damn Mystery!" by Jesse Spillane. Thank you to our mystery guest Caleb Zane Huett, author of middle-grade books Top Elf (https://www.avidbookshop.com/book/9781338052121) and the upcoming Buster (https://www.avidbookshop.com/book/9781338541885).
