Today I'm reviewing a short story by Author DA Kelly called The Jig's Back door. The story is full of humor, adventure and magic, featuring two goblin brothers and a very snarky map as they seek a magical stone. From line one you can guess that the adventure didn't go exactly as planned. The Jig's Back Door is not my usual cozy mystery review, but it's well worth the read and left me excited for DA Kelly's debut novel Brooms Away.  To get your free copy of this terrific short story join DA Kelly's newsletter and stay up to date on her writing journey at: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/4yksc8hzr0 I want to thank my patron Regina for becoming A Guiding Clue and helping us meet our goals to stay commercial-free and growing.

Today Snoops and Sleuths I'm reviewing the 1963 movie Murder at the Gallop starring Margret Rutherford as Christie's famous detective Miss Marple. This is the second Marple movie to star Rutherford in the title role and ironically she was hesitant to play a character so involved with murder and Christie thought Rutherford was wrong for the role physically. At least that's what I heard on TCM. Anyway, this is one of my favorite Marple mysteries and I hope you'll take the time to enjoy it.  I'd like to thank my Guiding Clue Patron Regina for helping to keep our show commercial-free.
