Me, too, but I have heard of the smell of the Londonderry air.
ete: my wife wants you (and me) to know she got it. 
That’s because she was there when the IRA blew up something.
I thought the pairing of the “Big Star” and “#1 Record” categories was way cool.
I wondered how many people would get that.
The smell of the London derriere 
Dr. Oz???
They couldn’t get Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Doc Ock would have been a better choice.
Anybody else find today’s FJ easy? I think it was definitely one you couldn’t get unless you’d read the book (or seen the movie)—guessing just wouldn’t help…
I guessed all of the same answers that were given by the contestants plus one more. The last one that I said out loud was the correct answer! I knew it was either that one or the other one that someone guessed. No I’ve never read the book, I just guessed which one it was.
I think you did well, considering how offbeat the answer was. How many novels can you think of that hinge on the murder of two women?
The category kind of said “not London or Paris.” That wasn’t enough to get me to a correct answer, but I knew I could leave out those two.
“World Literature”? If I hadn’t known better, London would have been my first choice. Paris, probably my second.
I think the key was “the murder of two women,” which immediately brought the correct response to my mind.
No clue for final. Never read that book. I guessed Paris thinking maybe it was something by Victor Hugo.
I think the guy who wrote “Moscow” knew which novel it was. He just didn’t know (or forgot) which city it was set in.
I was thinking Paris and The Murders in the Rue Morgue.
That was also why I guessed Paris. And looking at the synopsis, that is also about the murder of two women.
Me too.
I likewise guessed Paris, figuring it was Murders in the Rue Morgue. Doesn’t fit the clue, though, as it’s a short story, not a novel.
I thought it was a pretty hard clue. If you aren’t able to zero in on the correct novel immediately, it’s not really one that you could solve by guessing.
I’ve never read any of the great Russian novels, so I wasn’t familiar with the right answer.
The date (1866) was also wrong. The short story was published in 1841. It was written by Edgar Allen Poe, who died in 1849.
I suspect Poe would come under the category “American Literature,” anyway.
