Guess the book from a chapter heading...

[MrBenn]

I'll kick this off:

"Roast Mutton"

[trinicardinal]

The Hobbit?

[MrBenn]

Good guess... right on the money!

[MeDeFe]

The Hobbit?

I'm impressed, your go.

[Eigidansei]

since hes not doing it i will

it may be obvious but

"Strange Happenings"

[trinicardinal]

Don't know that one. I'm wasn't logged on before so I'll post a chapter later...if there's an opening

[Megadeth666]

since hes not doing it i will

it may be obvious but

"Strange Happenings"

Weird Science ?

[Eigidansei]

well i dont know but thats not what i was thinking of

[wcaclimbing]

since hes not doing it i will

it may be obvious but

"Strange Happenings"

Maybe from one of the Harry Potter books? I dont know.

[Eigidansei]

nope

[Salubri]

a series of unfortunate events?

[Eigidansei]

nope

[Megadeth666]

Stephen King's...Needful Things

[Eigidansei]

no

[Nikolai]

Jules 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.

[Eigidansei]

thats not it but whatever

It was "The Nutcracker"

[MrBenn]

"The Evidence of the Police-Inspector"

I'd hazard a guess at one of Conan-Doyle's novels?

[Nikolai]

Not 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.

[Nikolai]

No guesses? Let's see...

English author.

"The Evidence of the Ladylove and the Landlady"

[MeDeFe]

English author? Then it almost has to be Agatha Christie, but which novel?

[Nikolai]

Not 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.

"The Evidence of the L.C.C. Teacher"

[Nikolai]

"The Evidence of the Gigolos"

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

[Nikolai]

Author considered a translation of Dante's Divine Comedy her best work.

"The Evidence of Trouble Somewhere"

Guys, I'm running out of author clues. I'm going to have to start telling about the story.

[Nikolai]

Alright, let's see. The book is part of a series of murder mysteries with a known detective figure, and opens with the woman that detective figure intends to marry out on a walking holiday, where she discovers a body.

Alright, let's see. The book is part of a series of murder mysteries with a known detective figure, and opens with the woman that detective figure intends to marry out on a walking holiday, where she discovers a body.

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.
