Undetectable Poison
Notes: I have included this page out of sheer admiration for the character of Dr. Brambleweir, who I dearly wish was a Veridical Personality, and not consigned merely to the pages of books and magazines. Sigh…

Ten points, good for absolutely nothing, will be given to the first reader who identifies the detective I am referencing in this post.
Unfortunately, the only detectives I’ve read much about are Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot, and I’m sure they’re not him. Who is he?
Hey Lori! The detective is Dr. Thorndyke, by R. Austin Freeman. The Dr. Thorndyke stories are great, and are under-read today, I think; they are good mysteries, and gently funny, too, and just lots of fun. The Eye of Osiris is a good one to start with, if you are interested, and is available for free (because it is now in the public domain) on the Internet Archive, here: https://archive.org/details/eyeosirisadetec00freegoog
The Internet Archive also has audiobooks (read by volunteers) of, I think, three Dr. Thorndyke books: The Eye of Osiris (great!), The Red Thumb-Mark (also great), and The Mystery of 31 New Inn (great-ish).
