The Clue You Were Suppose to Miss: When Clues Hide in Plain Sight | Between the Pages Season 2, EP9

What if the clue you were supposed to miss wasn’t hidden at all?

Brad Hanson returns to Tumblebrook to explore one of mystery fiction’s most satisfying techniques: putting the truth directly in front of the reader while allowing us to misunderstand what it means.

Through three readings featuring Amelia Farnsworth, Clara Henderson, and Lady Grey, Brad explores how readers notice evidence, interpret clues, form theories—and sometimes have to reconsider everything when one new piece of information appears.

Notice. Interpret. Reconsider.

After the previous two episodes’ conversation about evidence and truth, Brad discovers that mystery fiction has been exploring many of the same questions all along.

Because sometimes the clue wasn’t hidden.

You just didn’t know what it meant.
