The final prompt for this challenge is: Disguised Identity
Be it detectives going undercover or criminals hiding their schemes, there is no denying that disguised identities add a lot of excitement to a mystery!
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
“On glancing over my notes of the seventy odd cases in which I have during the last eight years studied the methods of my friend Sherlock Holmes, I find many tragic, some comic, a large number merely strange, but none commonplace; for, working as he did rather for the love of his art than for the acquirement of wealth, he refused to associate himself with any investigation which did not tend towards the unusual, and even the fantastic.”-
The only thing linking these two cases?
"The Man In The Brown Suit" is one of Agatha Christie's fast-paced thrillers, and makes for an exciting read. It's chock full of disguised identities and adventure - perfect for this week's prompt!

"Think carefully . . .
That’s the advice Jean Wainwright always gets from her beloved Aunt Constance, Jean’s guardian and headmistress at the boarding school where she lives. It’s advice that proves valuable when Jean finds herself spending the summer far from home, sorting out family papers for the reclusive Mr. Thiel, a trustee of Aunt Constance’s school and the widower of her childhood friend Irene Callender.
At Mr. Thiel’s isolated country estate, Jean is surrounded by bewildering questions from the past. Why is there such hatred between Mr. Thiel and his late wife’s brother? Was her death an accident? And what happened to their child, who disappeared after Irene Thiel’s death? Do the answers lie in the Callender papers? And will searching for the answers put Jean’s own life in jeopardy?"
