Sherlock Holmes: The Boscombe Valley Mystery

Brit Mys. 3: The Last Vampyre

I just couldn't resist this after a turn with Dalgliesh, because the "vampyre" in this lengthy Conan Doyle Sherlock story is played by Roy Marsden, the actor who originally played Dalgliesh.  Also, it's proof positive just how scary mysteries can be, particularly the British stories!! I am particularly a fan of Jeremy Brett's as Sherlock Holmes!  RIP to him and Edward Hardwicke aka Dr. Watson!!

This is one of the locations used in filming:  the ruined Stockton home.

This is cool!!

The Hound Of The Baskervilles (1988)

There are a lot of "Hounds" out there, but this version, with the late great(s) Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke!  This one has dogs all over it; if it's not the Hound itself, it's someone's hunting dog or another...

Another British Murder Mystery With Horses: Silver Blaze

Derby weekend kicks off the run to the possible Triple Crown, the most coveted title in all of horse racing.  The most famous Triple Crown winner of all time was Secretariat, who won it in 1973

Derby Fact Number 3:  Originally the length of the race was 1 1/2 miles/  In 1896, it was changed to 1 1/4 miles, which remains it's length to this day.

Quite the turn in a classic British murder mystery, with the horse itself intimately involved in the mystery...he has quite simply vanished into thin air on a very sparsely populated moor!  The great detective must turn his mind finding him before the race is on.  See for yourself below.
