FATHER KNOX’S “DECALOGUE” 1) The criminal must be someone mentioned in the early part of the story, but must not be anyone whose thoughts the reader has been allowed to follow 2) All supernatural or preternatural agencies are ruled out as a matter of course 3) Not more than one secret room or passage is allowable 4) No hithero undiscovered poisons should be used, nor any appliance which need a long scientific explanation at the end 5) No Chinaman must figure in the story (Knox’s way of poking fun at thriller writers whose reliance on sinister Oriental villains had already became a cliché) 6) No accident must ever help the detective, nor must he ever have unaccountable intuition which proves to be right 7) The detective must not himself commit the crime 8) The detective must not light on any clues that are not immediately produced for the inspection of the reader 9) The stupid friend, the Watson, must not conceal any thoughts which pass through his mind 10) Twin brothers, and doubles generally, must not appear unless we have duly been prepared for them RITUAL TO BE INITIATED INTO THE DETECTION CLUB Ruler: Do you promise that your detectives shall well and truly detect the crimes presented to them, using those wits which it may please you to bestow upon them and not placing reliance on, nor making use of Divine Revelation, Feminine Intuition, Mumbo-Jumbo, Jiggery-Pokery, Coincidence, or Act of God? Candidate: I do. Ruler: Do you solemnly swear never to conceal a vital clue from the reader? Candidate: I do. Ruler: Do you promise to observe a seemly moderation in the use of Gangs, Conspiracies, Death-Ray, Ghosts, Hypnotism, Trap-Doors, Chinamen, Super-Criminals and Lunatics; and utterly and forever to forswear Mysterious Poisons Unknown to Science? Candidate: I do. Ruler: Will you honour the King’s English? Candidate: I will. Ruler: You are duly elected a Member of the Detection Club, and if you fail to keep your promises, may other writers anticipate your plots, may your publishers do you down in your contracts, may total strangers sue you for libel, may your pages swarm with misprints and may your sales continually diminish. Amen. Tagging some people who I think might be interested in the readathon! Of course anyone is welcome and encouraged to join in on the fun! ‪@marlicias_meanderings‬ ‪@AndrewAtYCBRM‬ ‪@BernasBookishAdventures‬ ‪@naomisbookshelf‬ ‪@RachaelFryman‬ ‪@GenreBooks23‬ ‪@LuminousLibro‬ ‪@ChantelReadsAllDay‬ #detectionclub #thedetectionclub #cozywiththedetectionclub #gkchesterton #hcbailey #ecbentley #anthonyberkeley #agathachristie #gdhcole #mcole #jjconnington #freemanwillscrofts #clemencedane #roberteustace #raustinfreeman #lordgorell #ronaldknox #aamilne #baronessorczy #johnrhode #dorothylsayers #henrywade #victorwhitechurch #anthonygilbert #erpunshon #gladysmitchell #margeryallingham #normankendal #rcwoodthorpe #johndicksoncarr #nicholasblake #newtongayle #ecrlorac #christopherbush #cyrilhare #christiannabrand #richardhull #alicecampell #valgielgud #edmundcrispin #dorothybowers #michaelinnes #michaelgilbert #douglasbrowne #booktube #booktuber #readathon #readalong #booktubecommunity #mysterybooks #goldenageofmysteries #goldenagemysteries #cozymysteries #classicmysteries _______________________________________________________ You can find me in the following places: StoryGraph: https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile...
