No, I'm totally wrong! Just looked it up. That was by Ngaio Marsh! I'll go to bed!

Could it be "Yellow Iris" although it was a radio play rather than a book. Quote:

Isn't it Badgerwatcher's turn?
Is it just me or have we lost the plot with this?

I still think a surfeit of lampreys was Ngaio Marsh.......
Um...What are we doing?
I can't guess John's, haven't a clue! Not stag, I suppose?
What about- 1, What bird, from its name, may have watched a ship-load of men go mad?
And- 2, Which bird was shot by a madman?

Possibly for John's Elephant Hawkmoth
and for Badgerwatcher's number 1 - Albatross?
Not sure about number 2

Is your number 2 a raven? |

Is this first one a reference to Odysseus and the sirens?

Madz | I don't know where the plot came from but Marvin Africa answered my puzzle but then Badgerwatchere puzzle was used. No one said that the person that answers the question right starts the next puzzle but it is a good idea to do so. Quote:

So do we ask Guy to start the next puzzle or is it a free for all.

Actualy John, in the first post it was suggested that the person supplying the correct answer was to set the next guess.

Right, I have definitely lost the plot. What is the latest puzzle we should be unravelling.

We've had some guesses but Badger seems to have gone awol so we don't know if we're right.
So if Guy wants to start another one we could get even more confused |
