@bobble Wikipedia lists it among Dickens's short stories.
Unfortunately, Project Gutenberg is blocked in Germany, so providing links to that site does not help me at all.
 
Searching "Doctor Marigold" should bring up other results?

@Tsundoku Last I heard about that, they did a lazy job and most of the mirrors listed at gutenberg.org/dirs/MIRRORS.ALL = dpaste.com/3ZFALCVAQ aren't blocked

Q: Fantasy novel with a skilled female assassin enrolling in a contest

Rand al'ThorI read this novel somewhere around 2010 (2006-2016, can't be much more precise than that). It was in English, probably an American writer. It might have been the first in a series, probably for young adults. The main character is a young woman who's a somewhat skilled/notorious assassin. Somehow ...

@Bookworm If it be votes towards the HNQs, set question in one eye and answer i' th' other.
@bobble Meh, doesn't seem to be anything actually spammy about that user.
 
@Randal'Thor Thanks! quite surprised to see that as it's been too long since I posted anything :)
 
@Fabjaja Well, rep on old posts is a slow trickle. There's still some unanswered questions if you want to speed it up ;-)

@Randal'Thor Uni term is almost done so I might in a bit! Very much like the look of your Jude burning question :)
 
Awesome! And thanks, but I can't really take the credit for that question as I found it elsewhere.

Q: What other recognized detective story categories are there beyond the "locked room mystery"?

MartinI'm an avid reader of cozy detective fiction (C. Auguste Dupin, Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown, &c.) and noticed naturally that certain categories exist (or that's the notion I have) even within that single subgenre (my preferred genre is: cozy quaint traditional golden age detective fiction, I'm ...

@Bookworm I have read the description of this book in my local library's online collection. Not that it's searchable by keywords well... sigh

What's the etiquette for improving on an old [bug] post for meta-se? One of the bugs I found, its dupe is much less detailed than what I could write up. Doesn't seem fit for an edit and I'm not sure how an answer would go down.
 
@bobble Hypothetically, a mod may have replaced the original spammy description with the current text, instead of destroying the account.
 
ah
 
@bobble The network account looks very spammy.

@Bookworm I'm not sure what to make of this question. The "categories" they've identified aren't hard-and-fast lines - who ever said you can't have a "spooky story" when people are dying "one after another"?? - and the overlap and subjectivity over what counts as a category or not is annoying me. That said, I'm not sure if their categories even matter if they're looking for academic literature on (subjective) categories, which I doubt exists as they imagine it.
