This mystery character appeared well into the creator’s career as a writer and didn’t have a starring role for some time, but then became a reader favorite.
They live quietly and contentedly but don’t mistake the character’s humility and self-deprecation for dullness. And they see all that happens around them and possess a steely and shrewd determination to solve the whodunit.
This character has been portrayed by many actors over the years but the author who brought the character to life had a particular favorite.
When you know who the character is and who the author is who created the character, email me at kmiller@mpr.org. I’ll answer all guesses until 5 p.m. on Monday.
