Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2008 12:27 amJules Verne - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Chapter 12, I believe. An excellent work.
Hmmm... something easy, to start off.
"The Evidence of the Police-Inspector"
Should it become necessary, I assume the method of hinting in this thread will be further chapter headings? I'll put another up if you haven't gotten it in a day or so... though I really expect it'll be faster than that.

I'd hazard a guess at one of Conan-Doyle's novels?
Re: Guess the book from a chapter heading...
Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2008 5:37 pmNot Conan-Doyle, although you're on the right track...
"The Evidence of the Mannequin"
Eigidansei, my apologies... I had no intention of being rude. However, to be fair, The Nutcracker is, properly, a ballet, with literary adaptations, and "Strange Happenings" isn't exactly uncommon as a chapter heading.
I just happen to know my Verne better than my Tchaikovsky.

Posted: Mon Dec 22, 2008 5:53 amEnglish author? Then it almost has to be Agatha Christie, but which novel?
Re: Guess the book from a chapter heading...
Posted: Mon Dec 22, 2008 10:54 pmNot Agatha Christie, but you are correct that the author is female. And that it's a mystery, but that was fairly obvious by the titles.

Man, I really thought this author was better known. Born 1893, died 1957.

The author is Dorothy Sayers, the series is about Lord Peter Wimsey, but I don't know which novel... I've only read Strong Poison and The Nine Tailors, and I don't remember those chapters.
