The House Without a Key, Earl Derr Biggers. Introduction by Marilyn Stasio. [Reprint: Chicago Review Press, 2010; originally published Gosset-Dunlap, 1925]. John Quincy Windslip—a staid, youngish Bostonian of upper-crust pedigree—travels to Hawai’i to try to coax his elderly aunt to move back to Boston. When his cousin Dan Windslip is murdered, Windslip begins investigating in an unofficial capacity while shedding his fiancée and inhibitions, while the iconic detective Charlie Chan leads the official investigation. Ploddingly paced, I found The House Without a Key to be a tough slog. *** Earl Derr Biggers was a 1907 graduate of Harvard and the author of six novels featuring Charlie Chan, amongst other works. He died in Pasadena at age forty nine. *** Marilyn Stasio is the crime fiction editor for the New York Times Book Review and a drama critic for Variety #earlderrbiggers #charliechan #detectivefiction #crimefiction #mystery

- I very well knew that this book is over 90 years old, and that racial reactions were a given, which I can confirm is the right way to enjoy a #CharlieChan mystery. The Californian desert 🏜️ proved to be the best backdrop + character in the novel. I loved the setup, but kinda knew what was going on with just 15% into the book. If you enjoy a period mystery, and can look past the derogatory remarks, then this could surely be your cup of tea. Overall a good-meh for me. 🌵🦜🧩 #TheChineseParrot #EarlDerrBiggers #MurderMystery #Mystery #CrimeFiction #BooksBooksBooks #ReadReadRead #ReadingLife #ReadingIsFundamental #ReadingList #BookNerd #Bookworm #Bookaholic #Bookstagram #Reading #WhatIAmReading #BookLovers #InstaBooks #ReadersOfInstagram #BooksOfInstagram #ReadingTime #BookishLife #ReadingNow #Paperwhite #eBook #Kindle #CurrentlyReading #AprilReads
It took me all day to post this 🥲. But, Happy Heavenly Birthday Charles!! Man, oh man, we had a lot of great times together in our relationship and as friends. You were always the life of the party 🎉. You are missed by so many people. We still laugh about so many moments. If there is a place in heaven where you can celebrate, I know you are doing just that 🕺🏽LOL!! Often we highlight the bad days, but there were far more good days than bad that I will forever cherish!! You were a father to our children. You never made a difference in the kids. You always treated my daughter as your own, even though her dad was present. You and your family embraced her then and now!! You supported us in so many ways. We never ever wanted for anything. We had our issues as anyone else, but one thing I can honestly say looking back!!! You held us down and you truly loved us!!! Cheers to 61 years 🥳🎂🎉🎈. #charliechan

Of all the kohl eyed, Art Deco beauties in the ‘30s Charlie Chan films, Pauline Moore is my favorite. As the mysterious psychic Eve Cairo in Charlie Chan at Treasure Island, she beguiles with otherworldly potency. Interestingly, some historians believe that the villainous Zodiac featured in this entry of the classic detective series may have actually inspired the real life Zodiac Killer in the late ‘60s. #paulinemoore #charliechan #artdeco #psychic #30sfashion #30sfilm #zodiackiller

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love Charlie Chan and Co. They are quite a dynamic group and each is their own person which makes the way they work together even better. #BookTok made me do it is the case of serial murders revolving around a BookTok famous book Teenhunter. The book is a retelling of Jack the Ripper and has created a cult following on BookTok and haters alike. I felt this story was very realistic and relatable to current times. BookTok is a huge trend for avid readers and the use of BookTok for the serial killer's victims was a great move. As always Charlie is a fantastic female lead who is strong and smart. Ash however really stole some thunder in this book and I enjoy his unique personality. In the beginning there seems to be a lot going on which was hard to follow with the many cases, but in the end I really enjoyed how the author tied everything up and left you guessing who the killer could be. This is a great read for mystery and thriller lovers. #bookstagram #books #mysterybooks #thrillerbooks #murdermystery #bookblogger #charliechan&co #adiflynnauthor #serialmurders

Book 2 of The Charlie Chan Crime Thriller series, #BookTok Made Me Do It, is now available for pre-order! In the pulsating heart of Liverpool, Charlie Chan and her vibrant team of Gen-Z detectives are plunged into a new, darkly viral terror. Inspired by the murders in a #BookTok bestseller, a malevolent killer paints the city red with copycat slayings, signing each kill with a hashtag. The team must go deep into the TikTok phenomenon to prevent more innocent readers from becoming a victim of these brutal crimes. Charlie Chan & Co. navigate the treacherous waters of fame, passion, and social media fandom, to battle a killer who remains one step ahead. As the body count rises, they are confronted with a chilling question: How many lives will be extinguished in the quest to stop a murderer who carves a legacy through virtual trends and historical terror? #crimefiction #adiflynn #bookish #genz #publishing #charliechan #liverpool

Shelah Fane was known and loved throughout the world as a sultry goddess of the silver screen. When her glorious career came to a brutal end one moonlit night in Hawaii—stabbed to death on the tranquil beach of Waikiki—thousands clamored for the murder of their favorite star. "Death is the black camel that kneels unbidden at every gate," Charlie Chan tells the guests present at the actress's pavillion at the time of her murder. But as the detective digs deeper into the case, he finds an interrelated crime to investigate—a murky Hollywood mystery from the past. Through the confusion of alibis, false clues, and bizarre characters, Chan moves with the utmost calm—until the classic "gathering of suspects" climax, when his form of justice hits with shattering force #theblackcamel #earlderbigger #charliechan #detectivenovel #audiobook
Frances Chan (born March 10, 1925: pictured here with some Luke Field flying cadets in 1942 for ‘Look’ magazine) brief career in Hollywood started in the early 1930s, when cast as Frances, the fifth child and ‘Number three Daughter’ of detective Charlie Chan in the adventure yarn, “Charlie Chan’s Greatest Case” (1933), with Warner Oland as the Chinese sleuth and co-starring Heather Angel, John Warburton, and Virginia Cherrill. • Born in Los Angeles California, the daughter of Suey (Anthony) Chan and his wife Mary, both of whom worked as Hollywood extras, young Frances grew up on film sets, often waiting in line with her parents whilst they hoped to obtain work. It is unknown whether she went on to appear in some of the films her parents were extra in. • Frances’s character in the ‘Charlie Chan’ series was referred to but not seen in subsequent pictures, also starring Warner Oland, for the Fox Film Corporation, then later, with American actor Sidney Toler, also for Fox, before the franchise was picked up by Monogram Pictures (after Sidney Toler’s death, a subsequent six films were shot with Roland Winters in the title role). • In fact, Frances Chan was only on screen again in “Black Magic” (1944), with Charlie Chan on the lookout for a murderer amidst numerous ghosts conjured up by a strange variety of spiritualists and occultists, costarring Mantan Moreland and Helen Beverly. • Among her other known screen credits are the 1943 war adventure drama “China”, with Loretta Young and Alan Ladd; the crime caper “Passport to Suez” (1943), with Warren William as Michael Lanyard (aka. ‘The Lone Wolf’) and Ann Savage, directed by André De Toth; “God Is My Co-pilot” (1945), with Dennis Morgan, for Warner Bros.; and as a Chinese prisoner in the war drama “Samurai” (1945), written and directed by Raymond Cannon. • Frances married Edward J. Eng in 1944, when she was just 19, and retired from acting in 1945 to raise their family. Together they had five children. Their marriage was one of the longest – and happiest – in Hollywood and ended almost sixty years later following Frances’ death just four days after her 79th birthday, on March 14, 2004, in Los Angeles, California.

For sale: Parachute - used once; never opened. Thankfully I don't have such a parachute for sale 😁. But the importance of having an open mind in any situation cannot be understated. While growing up I saw a similar quote, attributed to Albert Einstein, on the wall of my primary classroom. Obviously a good place for it - formative, you might say. And we know that an open mind is critical for a growth mindset. Being open to different experiences, different possibilities - even just to being wrong - are key if you want to grow beyond your current boundaries and (limiting) beliefs. If you're a manager of people - replacing "I'm right, do it my way" with a mindset that embraces different alternatives, different ways of accomplishing something, is the basic requirement for innovation to thrive on your team. In your own life, this same concept may best be applied through words actually belonging to Einstein: "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." (1929 October 26, The Saturday Evening Post (Indianapolis, Indiana), What Life Means to Einstein: An Interview by George Sylvester Viereck). So a mind is open when it imagines, when it entertains the possibility of alternative solutions, when it permits being wrong (mistaken), when it engages in critical thinking that may challenge current beliefs. How do you get such a mind without holding Einstein's DNA? Practice. Intention. Suspend current beliefs. Apply critical thinking. Imagine, and select a possibility to pursue. Work with a coach. (you know I had to... 😂) 🧭 If this resonates with you please reach out. I'm always up for a good conversation, especially about mindsets! . . . #parachute #growthmindset #einstein #charliechan #sundayquoteday #openmind #criticalthinking #riskbeingwrong #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #leadershipdevelopment #lifecoach #mindsetcoach #transformationcoach #leadershipcoach #executivecoach #certifiedcoach #AlchemistCoach
Charlie Chan is back after Fifty Years with a new novella by John L Swann. It was just like watching one of the better Chan films. Charlie is witty and pithy with his aphorisms. There's one of his almost adult children running around the murder scene. And of course Charlie sees things his white counterparts do not. (I never understood the hand wringers who was offended by a Chinese man that makes all the white detectives look like simpletons.) The mystery solution may be a bit weak. I don't think Swann has written a mystery before. But I was so glad to see Charlie in action again I almost didn't care. #charliechan #mysterybooks #paperbackmysteries #paperbackmystery
I wanted to take on the challenge if that is the way to look at it of making a proper fish dish for Lent. On my way home I picked up my mom, made a breading for some cod fillets, that I had defrosted, added in some pierogies, and the results came out very good. I was very surprised at how excellent the fish was. You know where I’ll be for the next couple of Friday evenings…

'Charlie Chan e o Camelo Preto', de Earl Derr Biggers. Terminei 'Tubarão' do Benchley, excelente estilo fluido de redação do Benchley, e Spielberg fez uma adaptação honesta para o cinema. Agora vou deixar os grandes peixes de lado e vou ver como o célebre detetive Charlie Chan resolve os crimes. Livro fininho, menos de 100 páginas, dá para ler rapidinho. #charliechaneocamelopreto #charliechan #earlderrbiggers #charliechantheblackcamel #theblackcamel
Value Village pick-ups! This is four hauls. Three from last week and one from this Wednesday. The Pink Panther set is the movies. I already have the set like this with the complete cartoon collection, so it was nice to finally come across this one. The Marilyn Monroe documentary is actually a double. I thought I might have it already but grabbed it just in case. Turns out I did have it, but the one I have is an earlier release from Image. That one also has additional extras that aren't on the newer one from 20th Century FOX. OSS 117 is like a French James Bond. I haven't seen The Good Son since the 90s. I had come across a copy not long before finding this one, but it was in pretty rough shape. I was surprised to find another copy so soon after because I never see this one in the wild. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Bound, Martyrs, and Dead & Breakfast were really nice surprises. Martyrs is the original and still sealed. I know I recently picked up the Olive Films Blu-ray of Bound, but it's bare-bones and this DVD has a commentary track with the Wachowskis, Jennifer Tilly, and Gina Gershon, so had to grab it for that. #valuevillagefinds #thriftstorefinds #thrifting #thepinkpanther #marilynmonroe #oss117 #oss117lecaireniddespions #deadmanoncampus #valleyofthedolls #thegoodson1993 #macaulayculkin #elijahwood #michaelrooker #serialkillermovie #jennifertilly #ginagershon #thewachowskis #jenniferbeals #tracielizabethlords #tracilords #frenchhorror #morjanaalaoui #mylenejampanoi #deadandbreakfast #theadventuresofpriscillaqueenofthedesert #onceuponatimeinhollywood #quentintarantino #charliechan #therockfordfiles #rockfordfiles

Charlie Chan? There's a book about his films? There sure is and it's exhaustive! Ken Hanke examines every film (there are dozens), discusses the various studios which made them (four or more), and the three actors who played Charlie Chan. I wanted to know more about Charlie Chan films because our upcoming project (AFTER "Going to the Movies with Jane Austen") will be "Murder at the Movies." It's all mystery movies but, obviously, no Agatha Christie as she gets her own books. When you think of mystery movies which are mysteries, well, that's Charlie Chan. So we'll watch a few (not all 44) and review them. In the meantime, if you want to watch Charlie Chan, read Ken Hanke's books and pick a few films. #kenhanke #charliechan #charliechanmovies #charliechanatthemovies #earlderrbiggers #changapana #warneroland #sidneytoler #rolandwinters #mysterymovies #mysteryfilms #teresareviewsbooks #peschelpress #capsulebookreview #bookspotlight #booklove #booktalk #booksaboutfilms #filmbooks #bookreview #nonfiction #murderatthemovies #teresagoestothemovies #murdershewatched #kenhankebooks #chinesedetectives #moviemysteries #mysteries #moviefans
