Status Updates From I delitti della Casa decago...

TIL kawaminami/doyle is a girl in the manga version (which makes his entire excursion with shimada WAY creepier ._.)

ellery misdirecting half of their assumptions while simultaneously posing them himself... it's a one man show

sue us, magic man

[first victim's case] "X would never do this" --> X deliberately did this one act to fend off suspicion from precisely themselves

[second victim's case] "X normally did this" --> X deliberately didn't do this one act to fend off suspicion from precisely themselves

the fact that i'm hopelessly keeping tabs on everyone's preferred brand of cigarettes in case it somehow gets useful, knowing it won't 💀

AND WHY IS NO ONE DISCUSSING THE LETTERS IF THEY INDEED RECEIVED THEM, THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE

as much as i approve of ellery's line of inquiry to make sense of the situation, i really dont think traditional logic is applicable under these conditions where you got so many as of yet undefinable unknowns 💀💀 there could literally be other people lurking around for all we know.. GIVE ME MY RED TRUTHS--

what up with the narration's antagonism towards my boy carr?? 🤨

everybody gangsta until someone ends up dead

HOW ARE YOU NOT DEAD FROM EXHAUSTION YET

btw, morisu = maurice = maurice leblanc?? 🧐

love how the mainland gang is doing most of the heavy lifting in terms of cracking the case while the island gang is mostly just bluescreening 😂😂

mightnt the reason why they assume murder be because of the plate saying MURDERER in fancy font, genius????? (this is poe spoonfeeding them all a mere hypothesis atp)

“What nonsense!” exclaimed Poe, stubbing his half-smoked cigarette out violently. “Great detectives, great criminals—can’t you keep fiction separate from reality?

REAL poe couldn't, in the end 😔😔

but i only need one "murderer", right..? RIGHT?!?!?

van's so blatantly pointed out as both the person making the preps before the party arrived and the guy who is constantly absent from the plot for being sick that i think it'd be a little bit too easy for our perp to be him, carr...........

i think the presence of a detective role might take the anticlimactic edge off of the ATTWN parallels !! bc as iconic as that book admittedly is, it still felt like a flop to me at the time i was reading it, being a victim of my own expectations with it (:
