What Character Are You in a Traditional English Murder Mystery?

Traditional mysteries are booming! This makes me happy, because “traditional mystery” is my favorite genre.

I thought it might be fun for us all to imagine who we’d be if we were characters in a traditional mystery… a Golden Age style mystery, maybe in a Quaint English Village?

THUSLY, I put together an elaborate series of ledgers so we can all determine our parts.

Let’s go!

 

First, you need a title. This is a British mystery, for goodness’ sake! Everyone in Britain has a title of some kind! Use your birth month to pick the corresponding title.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, we need your first name. Use the hour of your birth to determine that!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, let’s do your last name. First, recall the minute of your birth and look at the corresponding surname:

And now, the final question: are you the murderer?

Put it all together… and welcome to your new identity!
