There were no straps and it would spin really fast, the floor dropped and it would pin you against the wall. People would sometimes get sick, but for some- it was a lot of fun! What was your experience like?

Maybe Alex should repurpose it...*wink wink*

It's been 62 years since Aziraphale and Crowley’s disagreement in St James’ Park, and the world has entered a new era of flapper girls and arbitrary Prohibitions. After attempting to finally get in contact with the angel again, Crowley finds out Aziraphale has been accused of murdering Mr Howard, owner of the Harmony Emporium a few doors down...in her very own bookshop. It’s up to Aziraphale and Crowley to solve this mystery, or else they might be next.

*Minor Spoilers* I simply adore everything about this story! It's the Roaring 20's and Crowley has just happened upon a grisly scene at A.Z. Fell & Co.'s bookshop! Who killed the Record Shop owner? Why is Aziraphale covered in blood? And what happens when Crowley decides to wear white?? The game is on!

What I wouldn't give to see this as a show minisode. I can totally picture how it would’ve played out on screen, and exactly it would have been acted. It nails the zany vibes of the 1941 flashback, and I could hear Aziraphale’s voice delivering every single line. The characterization was absolutely perfect in my eyes.

And making it wives! My heart can’t handle it. I loved their disguises, and the (AMAZING) included illustrations set the tone perfectly. It gave me such a fun dose of nostalgia for Nancy Drew books! The mystery was a blast, and seeing them run around town, interviewing witnesses, and chasing down bad guys? Pure joy. I would absolutely read an entire series of these two solving mysteries together.

It’s funny, it’s heartwarming, and it’s so perfectly in character. Do yourself a favor and check it out—it’s the perfect little pick-me-up that’ll leave you so warm and joyful. I promise!
