Review of Murder by Death (1976) by Andrew D — 11 Jun 2010

'Jamesir Bensonmum: Tell me, as the only survivor, how did you deduce it was me? Sidney Wang: Went back to theory seldom used today: Butler did it.'.

'Sam Diamond: Locked, from the inside. That can only mean one thing. And I don't know what it is.'.

'Milo Perrier: I'm not a Frenchie, I'm a BELGIE!'.

'Milo Perrier: What do you make of all of this, Wang? Sidney Wang: Is confusing. Lionel Twain: [from moose head] IT! IT is confusing! Say your pronouns!'.

'Willie Wang: Who do you think is the murderer? Sidney Wang: Must sleep on it. Will know in morning when wake up. Willie Wang: But what if you don't wake up? Sidney Wang: Then YOU did it.'.

'Lionel Twain: You've tricked and fooled your readers for years. You've tortured us all with surprise endings that made no sense. You've introduced characters in the last five pages that were never in the book before. You've withheld clues and information that made it impossible for us to guess who did it. But now, the tables are turned. Millions of angry mystery readers are now getting their revenge. When the world learns I've outsmarted you, they'll be selling your $1.95 books for twelve cents'.

'Sidney Wang: Room filled with empty people.'.

'Sidney Wang: No pulse, no heartbeat. If condition does not change, this man is dead'.

'Sidney Wang: Answer simple, but question very hard.'.

'Marcel: I will tell everyone that you wear a toupee. Inspector Milo Perrier: They already know! Marcel: Then why do you wear it? Inspector Milo Perrier: I didn't know that you knew'.
