Product Information

Captain Widdershins appears, mentions Gustav (Montgomery's deceased assistant at the start of The Reptile Room) and, like Hector, delivers Lemony some news that he really, really would not rather have heard. Half-Identical Twins: In 13 Suspicious Incidents, the Cozy twins look alike enough to be mistaken for each other despite being different sexes. All The Wrong Questions is the prequel novel to the main story arc of A Series of Unfortunate Events. What we know so far Homage: While the previous series was heavily inspired off of Gothic literature, this series is a tribute to Film Noir detective fiction, especially the The Maltese Falcon, which the first books greatly resembles, and whose MacGuffin is constantly referenced the Bombinating Beast statue. Ellington Feint's father, who has been kidnapped by Hangfire and held for ransom in exchange for the statue. It's revealed in the final book that he is actually Hangfire himself, but this trope still seems to apply somewhat, as he has apparently all but abandoned Ellington for much of the series.

House Husband: Mr. Mallahan, while Mrs. Mallahan is off in the city working for their newspaper. The last book implies that they divorced. Dashiell Qwerty is named after Dashiell Hammett, author of The Maltese Falcon, and the QWERTY keyboard layout. Lemony occasionally expresses fondness for root beer floats, just as he did in The Beatrice Letters. Moxie Mallahan is an aspiring journalist who lives in a lighthouse with her father. She longs to move to the city to be with her mother, who works at the local newspaper. Seria pożarów w najmniej oczekiwanych miejscach ogarnia miasteczko Stain'd-by-the-Sea, dzieci w wieku szkolnym znikają z ulic, a Hangfire nigdy nie był tak blisko.Much as the series opened with a parody of 'The Maltese Falcon', it concludes with a version of 'Murder on the Orient Express'. Hostilities between the villainous Inhumane Society and the VFD gang have escalated throughout the series - from theft to kidnap to arson - so murder is the inevitable next step, and all of the gang - benevolent, malevolent and ineffectual - are present and correct. Who committed the murder? How did they flee the scene of the crime? Why are the police so reluctant to investigate? Moxie Mallahan: a child and aspiring journalist living in Stain'd-by-the-Sea after her mother abandoned her.

Parental Abandonment: Lemony's "parents" at the beginning of the book were just pretending to be his. He mentions several times that his real parents can't help.Ellington Feint's namesake is Duke Ellington, composer and pianist. His music is probably the "interesting and complicated" tunes that Lemony hears from the gramophone. Her father, Armstrong, is named after a different musician.
