I will still raise my glass of guinness, knowing that is your favorite drink and toast to a man that enjoys mystery novels. Not so much by Sherlock, but Agatha Christie. Obviously Jimmy never thought Sherlock was that elementary, my dear Watson.
Agatha Christie to me was a very mysterious woman herself, we'll never know the full details about the time she went missing. She has a wicked sense of humour and she can't resist sticking in the occasional dry joke in her novels, she could never win the Nobel prize for literature (no more than Doyle would) but she knew how to tell a good story to the ordinary folks and that's what it's all about as I see it.
