    As Neil said, very much Agatha Christie.

    Hereā€™s a thought ā€¦

    Ramon does have access to the Perenelle formula.

    And the much older-seeming Am-Double ā€¦

    ā€¦ is actually Ramonā€™s son.

    The hidden rooms and passageways apparently werenā€™t shown on the floor plans that Tracy and the Spirit had. I wonder if they were shown on the plans that Brush bought. On the other hand, I donā€™t know that Brush needed secret passageways.

    How to spot the Real Am? The Real Am smokes a cigar or a cigarette on a holder while Double Am smokes tobacco in a pipe.

    Looks like this whole thing may be just a scam after all. I hoped Mike wasnā€™t being cute, and having Brush reveal the truth with his comment that the whole thing was just a con game.

    Considering how little action weā€™ve seen with the Dragon Lady, Warbucks, Smith, etc., Iā€™m reminded of the end of ā€œMurder By Death.ā€

    Through the movie, take-offs of Sam Spade, Nick and Nora Charles, Poirot, Miss Marple, and Charlie Chan run in circles looking for a killer that may not exist.

    And as they leave, ā€™Chanā€™sā€™ son asks: ā€œPop ā€“ was there a murder or wasnā€™t there?ā€

    ā€œYes. Killed good weekend.ā€

    Having committed a capital crime, crummy criminals collude in Amā€™s clandestine chamber. Consequences can cause conflict.

    Ok, Iā€™m all for ā€˜suspension of disbeliefā€™ and all that, but THIS is just absurd and utterly ridiculous.

    The Great Am has ā€˜doublesā€™ā€¦ ok I can accept that, but one who has been his servant for many years just SUDDENLY decides heā€™s gonna kill flammel for the formula is absolute rubbish

    I STILL think my explanation was better

    Last week, I surmised ā€œthe butler did itā€ (to quote Inspector Wang from ā€œMurder by Deathā€!) I guess it turns out that the Butler was in on it, he just didnā€™t actually commit the murder. I wonder if my motive was correct?

    As I surmised earlier, this arc is going to limp along for another month or so. AT LEAST ā€™till April 1st. And on that day, big celebration!

    Limp along? Tracy and Spirit are about to enter a secret room where Ramon and Amā€™s double sip celebratory libations in the aftermath of murder. Having witnessed an armed confrontation with Brush and the arrest of Carrion, we are poised for a third reckoning courtesy of Tracy. All kinds of shenanigans go on under the roof of the Siam.

    Spirit: Hidden rooms and passageways? They werenā€™t shown on the hotel floor plans, Tracy!

    Tracy: Thatā€™s why theyā€™re called hidden, Spiritā€¦

    It turns out that Double Am and Ramon were only unwinding after a very stressful day. LOL

    The letter Perenelle was reading the night she died is probably a threat to harm her if she did not hand over the formula/potion. Unfortunately, she told Ramon that they are going away the next day and when Ramon about Perenelleā€™s plans, Double Am made his move earlier than planned.

    Aha! The shifty Ramon is in with Double Am! ā€œAmā€ did the dirty work, with Ramonā€™s prompting and help, and Perenelle Flammel lies dead fish dead. Soon, Tracy and the Spirit will interrupt their little party. The remaining question is, is there a yet Bigger Fish to fry? (Iā€™m putting aside the vexing matter of where on Earth the Am can find doublesā€¦.)
