Correct, HP.

I have a fuzzy 33-year-old memory of a pub in Waikiki, a few too many Long Island Iced Teas, and needing help finding the Ilikai Hotel...which was the biggest thing on the beach at the time and all of one block down the street...but no Princess Vic.

But then again, Queen Elizabeth and Ronald Reagan could have probably walked in and I wouldn't have noticed. Definitely a few TOO many Long Island teas!

Hello, JKD

Funnily enough, it must have been about 33 years ago that I spend Christmas in Waikiki. It was surprisingly good. And it had nothing to do with beaches.

He developed into another good one "Jesse Stone", I think it was.
A very well-developed mystery.

Agatha Christie, in the 1920's - midcareer, disappeared after discovering her husband had been having an affair. She was located a little over a week later, in a hotel, a few miles away from her home, unhurt but suffering from a kind of amnesia. Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as Dorothy L Sayers, another fiction writer, were two of the people out looking for her.

 

[Handley_Page]

I used to like the Dorothy L Sayers stories.
The BBC did some splendid radio adaptations with Ian Carmichael.
Edmund Petherbridge is reckoned to have been damned good on the TV screen.
