ah - that would be Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem - and I would never have got it without the clue!!
A tricky set of clues, Mark!

Can whoever got the most right do the next one? Or you can wait until I count it up, which is likely not to be until Friday, as I have to go to Scotland tomorrow and the very prospect so disturbs me that I'm going to have to start drinking heavily forthwith.
Scotland is an excellent place to drink if you like scotch.Originally Posted by MarkBastable
I never heard of that last one. What's the American title?

Well, I don't know for sure that it was re-titled in America, but Wikipedia mentions that it was 'also published as The Trial of Elizabeth Cree'). Both appear on Amazon US.
I don't like scotch, actually. I'm with Adrian Mole on whisky: If it came in medicine bottles, grown-ups would pour it down the sink.
A rough tot-up suggests to me that it's Mick's turn.
Yep. I know I have no power here, especially with my meager (but respectable!) recent contribution(s!), but I think it might be worth mentioning that, really, if ANYONE has something good, they could probably go ahead and throw it out there (with apologies to the last "winner") after 24 hours or so.
That's just my thoughts on it, anyhow, since we've been bleeding each other dry, and racing around the globe (or city. or Yorkshire.) doing other things.
Quite so, billl - I'm sure Mick will not mind - if you have a good puzzle to offer, go ahead, I'd say.
Oh, um. Yes. Quite right. Same for all of us. Me, as well. Anyone. Right, umm...
Please go ahead billl, I didn't realise it was my turn, I have nothing prepared.
Ok, to keep this thing ticking over, here is something I shamelessly copied.
Pair up these random words and connect each pair with a five letter word. eg "shop" and "boards" can be connected with "floor".
each
shop
icon
clock
village
side
ring
spring
super
smoke
cream
boards
wise
hair

I'm not sure the Americans would ever have got 'salad cream'.

cane, daddy, Alan, plantation and bowl = sugar
shake, maid, breast, round and harvey = milk
clipper, ceremony, bag, dance and party = tea
grounds is the odd one out.
I think billl ought to set one about corn dogs and hershey bars to restore transatlantic balance.
Yes, hopefully, if all goes well, I'll work a little magic tomorrow. I have to go to the dentist, though, and it isn't just a check-up. Maybe OK, though--and if so, I'd subsequently be delighted to sit here and come up with a little something to alleviate the awful deficit that's been built up.
harvey = milk??? This one escapes me - can anyone explain, please?
I thought you'd gone north of the border, Mark? They let you back into the country, then?
