As said at the beginning of the review, Sheldon posted a list on JJ's blog of his impossible crime fiction and the as of yet unpublished short story is on it. And it has nothing to do with <i>Blacke's Magic</i>. I was just giving some examples from Sheldon's list.

I most certainly remember your comments on my review of the disappearing street episode, but only mentioned Sheldon's comments on JJ's blog, because that's where I learned of these <i>Clue Club</i> episodes. What I meant with tracking down those EOM episodes was trying to pinpoint when the gazebo story-line began and ended. Unfortunately, it appears to cover at least a two week period. So perhaps I have to take you up on that two half-hours sampler. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the recommendation and a happy belated birthday! :D TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-59703035779629294122018-10-07T18:25:57.370+02:002018-10-07T18:25:57.370+02:00A general announcement/comment: I cleaned up the r...A general announcement/comment: I cleaned up the review, because it was more sloppily typed that unusual and posted it this time without even a cursory glance.
