In this issue...
Our October issue has a Sherlock Holmes theme, but you’ll find some non-Sherlock mysteries and a few non-fiction pieces too, including a great introduction by Sherlock expert Vincent W. Wright.
The story featured on our cover is "The Adventure Of The Missing Princess," by Michael Mallory. It begins when a colleague of Watson’s visits him at his surgery with a story about a missing princess and the Elephant Man. Holmes makes his appearance in typical dramatic fashion, and quickly connects the dots, leaving the reader wondering how they'd missed the obvious clues. This story is followed by "The Case of the Masticated Hand," by Jaap Boekestein and Roelof Goudriaan, a supernatural mystery involving the hand of a mummy that's delivered to Holmes in a parcel. Then, in "The Mystery of the Bee’s Egg," by Eric Cline, Sherlock investigates how a man’s death is connected to the construction of a foredoomed mile-long bridge. Not only is this story filled with fascinating details, but it’s masterfully written and has an entertaining plot. This issue also contains a nice mix of non-Sherlockian mysteries. Martin Hill Ortiz returns with "The Pit Of Hell", another story featuring a retired illusionist who is called upon to solve baffling crimes. This is a locked-room mystery, but the question is how an escape artist vanished from a full body cast in his hospital bed. "Your Turn" is a gritty crime story about a couple who work their cons out of a cheap motel, and author Dan DeVoto sweeps us into the dustbin right along with them through vivid writing and characterization. And Karl Lykken gives us a story of actuaries who keep a dead pool, called "Unacceptable Risk." Finally, there is "Acid Test", from Allen Lang, a heart-pounding story about an amateur scientist who tries to create ghosts in his basement laboratory.

Then, in "The Mystery of the Bee’s Egg," by Eric Cline, Sherlock investigates how a man’s death is connected to the construction of a foredoomed mile-long bridge. Not only is this story filled with fascinating details, but it’s masterfully written and has an entertaining plot. This issue also contains a nice mix of non-Sherlockian mysteries. Martin Hill Ortiz returns with "The Pit Of Hell", another story featuring a retired illusionist who is called upon to solve baffling crimes. This is a locked-room mystery, but the question is how an escape artist vanished from a full body cast in his hospital bed. "Your Turn" is a gritty crime story about a couple who work their cons out of a cheap motel, and author Dan DeVoto sweeps us into the dustbin right along with them through vivid writing and characterization. And Karl Lykken gives us a story of actuaries who keep a dead pool, called "Unacceptable Risk." Finally, there is "Acid Test", from Allen Lang, a heart-pounding story about an amateur scientist who tries to create ghosts in his basement laboratory.

The best in Short Mystery Fiction
In Mystery Weekly Magazine's tradition of almost-anything-goes publishing, this month's issue is an eclectic mix of crime, comedic, literary, and even somewhat disturbing short stories having one thing in common: maximum entertainment value. This is an issue you'll be recommending to friends and family.
"Terrible Tilly," our cover story by Jake Teeny, is one to be read slowly and savoured for its rich and evocative language. It centers around an isolate lighthouse and three quarrelsome keepers at the brink of madness; one of them has been stealing the lamp's kerosene, but is there a motive behind the madness? This captivating lighthouse tale is a shining example of the effective use of voice in storytelling.
Kassandra Montag's, "Water Wolf," is a haunting, lyrical mystery involving children who disappear while picking berries in the forest. There is certainly a compelling question at the heart of this story, and readers who don't get lost in the beautiful prose will find subtle clues strewn about. Certainly those who appreciate poetry or a well-turned phrase will come to the end of this story wanting more.
"Finder's Fee," by JM Taylor, is a fresh and amusing take on an age-old theme: be careful what you wish for!
And following with a similar theme is "Au Lait," by Dan Crawford, a hilarious story about an enchanted swizzle stick falling into the hands of a very undeserving lady at a coffee shop. Readers are advised not to have a mouthful of coffee while reading this one!
Our darker story is "Encumbered," by William R. Eakin. A canoe trip on a swollen river, a baby lost, a new husband with a love for campsites with high vistas—what else could a woman want to become unencumbered?
In his genre-crossing tale, "The End Of The Road," Manny Frishberg gives us the most remote setting of any we have ever run, the surface of the moon. A new moon buggy modelled after a Plymouth Barracuda is about to be unveiled, and soon proves that wherever there are people, there is also greed, crime, and evil.
"The Idiot's Guide To Killing Your Mother-In-Law," by James Mathews, is a Hollywood movie waiting to happen. This thoroughly entertaining and fast-paced story that will keep you guessing and chuckling right to the end. Besides the sparkling dialogue and vividly realized characters, the plotting is as clever and deliciously ironic as mystery lovers could possibly hope for.

The stories in December’s issue of Mystery Weekly Magazine couldn’t cover more of the time/space continuum if it had a Flux capacitor. You'll be transported from the not-too-distant eighties all the way back to ancient Egypt. Along the way you’ll stop in ancient Rome, and meet a hundred year old ghost who solves crimes.
In “The Body In The Backyard,” retired LAPD detective-turned-PI Jack Stover gets a second crack at solving an old missing persons case, when evidence resurfaces after having being buried for thirty years. This clever mystery by Robert S. Levinson is a snappy LA procedural with realistic characters sketched in a confident, breezy writing style; a story guaranteed to satisfy fans of all mystery genres.
Micki Browning, who first appeared in our November 2015 issue with “String Theory”, returns with a merry hardboiled caper entitled “Sleighed”, in which a hitman travels to the North Pole to find a guy named Nick. Unfortunately for him, wise men and short guys keep getting in his way. A nut-cracking Christmas yarn which will have special appeal for those who like their eggnog spiked and don’t mind a few cracks in their ornaments.
“The Ghost Of Billy The Kid,” by Scott Merrow, is one of the more original stories to grace our pages. A hundred years after his death, the legendary gunslinger returns to the mortal plane as a ghost who, like a guardian angel, helps people in need. This time, it's to help an incompetent sheriff solve a murder, which he accomplishes in humorous style by moving overlooked evidence around the room. The standout features of this story are both the unique premise and the interesting voice of Billy The Kid. This entertaining story could certainly lend itself well to future instalments, if not to an entire series of novels.
Jumping back in time a few millennia, we have “Death, Honor And The Ordovices,” by Mark C. Harwell. In this historical whodunit, a Roman soldier's gruesome murder threatens the legion's honor and a precarious peace with a conquered Celtic tribe. A Roman prefect must sort through lies and truths to avoid a blood bath.
In “A Death In The House Of Imhotep,” by A.L. Sirois, a young Egyptian student named Anitepsut helps her cousin unravel the murder of Lord Imhotep’s cook. No one is above suspicion, and the investigation uncovers many secrets.
And what happens when the oldest CIA agent starts to lose his edge? The answer is in our hilarious mystery from Sonny Zae. “Warren Pace, CIA” is a funny, high-octane story that pairs a bumbling elderly CIA field agent, with an eager young recruit. The more senior member of this unlikely duo drags his naive partner on a fools mission to stop a blackmailer, and it’s up to the rooky to cover his blunders. A thoroughly engrossing read.

The January issue of Mystery Weekly Magazine kicks off the new year with another mixed bag of compelling crime, mystery and suspense stories.
"Merrill's Run" introduces us to an unlucky gambler who is trying to outrun his past. John Floyd takes us on a road trip where we learn just how far Merrill's bad luck extends beyond the gaming tables.
For reader's who prefer a slower pace and cozier settings, we have "Father's Favorite" by Alan Orloff, centered around a small town bakery cafe. A derelict has been found dead across the street, and when Detective Calhoun arives to question the waitresses he detects something more sinister in the air than freshly brewed coffee. Perceptive readers can follow the trail of clues right along with him as he gets dangerously close to the truth.
Those who enjoy something different will appreciate "Ambergris" by Matthew Bennardo, where we are transported back in time to a whaling ship as three widows sneak abord by cover of darkness to steal from a miserly ship owner. Written with an authentic voice, it is sure to delight readers of historical fiction.
Faith Allington's "The Death at Knightshayes Court" is a more traditional offering in the style of Agatha Christie. Set in an english estate in the twenties, this domestic mystery is about a rare book dealer who must clear his own name in the poisoning death of a young heiress. All of the incredients for an old fashioned parlour mystery are here: an inheritance, servants, suspicious guests, and a classical deneument where the killer and his motives are revealed.
In "The Spy Who Read Too Much" by Michael Turner, a mildmannagered man goes missing after his wife "kind-sorta" lets it slip to at least seventeen people that her husband is a CIA operative. A softboiled detective story with laugh out loud moments.
In his story "Can you make lunch," Bob Tippee gives us an original character in Clinton (not "Clint") Barrymore, an eccentric power company manager preoccupied by trendy office supplies. It's smooth sailing for his employees, thanks to an unusual no-fire policy. But what will happen when his newest employee, Bob (not "Robert") rocks the boat?
