Mystery Story - Mix & Match

[Prof. Tarma Amelia Black]

Many authors of mysteries have a tendency to use the same character in different stories. Sometimes, though, they will come up with a character which they dislike so much that they only use them once (and get rid of them in an horrific way ....). Sometimes the characters disappear or are even allegedly killed, only to show up later on.

Following are a list of books, five authors of mysteries, and then a list of characters. You find out which author wrote which book, and what characters were in THAT book. Be aware that some of the answers for 'Character' might go into more than one book (but probably not for more than one author).

Match them up and send me a HOL forum PM (titled Mystery Story) to earn 30 Beans 60 Beans! You have until the end of the month to send in your answers for Beans.

Match them up like this:
1-A - e
2-B - o
3-C - a, d
those are not necessarily accurate answers
