The title comes from Dr. Montgomery Blake's costume--he decided to dress as a wizard and train a raven to sit on his shoulder and croak things like "doom!" and "nevermore!" Unfortunately, all the nearby ravens have figured out that perching on Dr. Blake and talking might be a way to get food, so every time he sets foot out-of-doors he's trailed by a flock of them.(less)

“Reading mysteries: the recreation of intelligent minds.”
Donna Andrews

“But what about your own?” he asked. “Assuming, of course, you’re interested in having one?”

“I’m not. If I ever get married, I shall elope. That has now become my prime requirement in a husband. Willingness to elope.”
Donna Andrews, Murder with Peacocks

“Clowns, hoboes, gypsies, and furry animals of all kinds scattered madly and dived for cover. No doubt they thought I'd finally lost it and was planning to lob more grenades.”
Donna Andrews, Murder with Peacocks

Thanks, Melissa! I do plan (eventually) to get back to the Turing series and start closing some of the open ends.
