Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

I have some more information..

There is a book, The Amethyst Spectacles, that was written in 1944 (or 1946) by Francis Crane. It is a mystery and suspense book, but more importantly its in the Private Investigator (Pi) genre. Anyway, here is a quick summary of the book (saw it somewhere online):
Quote:
The intrusion of murder tears apart the tranquility of New Mexico's canyon ranch country, where Patrick and Jean Abbott live. This was the last place where the Abbotts expected to see death, and the fact that the victim was one of their friends makes the event doubly shocking. Beneath the seemingly carefree existence of their group, Patrick and Jean discover deep undercurrents of intrigue and jealousy. The principal clue to a surprising solution is a pair of spectacles, in frames of violet-blue shell resembling amethyst. The glasses had a terrifying habit of suddenly appearing in the most unexpected places. Main character: Patrick Abbott
That sets off a number of ideas in my mind.

1. Is there a connection in the year?
2. Those glasses are now seeming like the glasses from FLL.
3. The glasses appeared unexpectedly and in weird places. This is similar to how some people wanted autonomous mode, eh?
4. Pi: 2. any confused mixture; jumble.

This may go somewhere at some point, heh.
