It's Christmas
KathrynC presents A Winter's Tale of Tea and Agatha Christie at Christmas posted at Tea With Mary Kate - Inspiration for Tea and Living, saying, "Winter is here! It is far too cold to be even contemplating venturing outside, but you’ll hear no cry of complaint from these quarters. What more could I wish for than a Hercule Poirot adventure on the Orient Express. But there is more to Tea with Mary Kate’s Winter’s Tale of Tea & Agatha Christie, so do join me on an adventure of Agatha Christie inspired ideas at Christmas."KerrieS reviews HERCULE POIROT'S CHRISTMAS posted at MYSTERIES in PARADISE, saying, "An excellent read - a locked room mystery - for this time of the year, in which Christie explores the tensions that Christmas reunions often bring."

Discoveries
"DEATH IN THE CLOUDS" (1992) Review of the film posted at FELICE'S LOG, commenting, "There are two things one should know about Agatha Christie’s 1935 novel, ”Death in the Clouds”. One, it happened to be one of those ”murder in a locked room” type of mysteries that she rarely wrote about. And two, I have not read the novel since high school."
This blog post comes from Hercule Poirot Central, another lovely spot to visit. Harley Street: Physicians of Agatha Christie : "Many of Agatha Christie's physicians resided on Harley Street in her books, and of course others had their practice in the quiet English villages where they resided.
This article lists all of the medical personnel found in her mysteries."
ng kai-lee presents Peril at End House PC Game posted at -Zhen's Summer Cafe-, saying, "An adaptation of the novel where you hunt for clues and solve puzzles!"
quirkyreader presents quirkyreader - Agatha Christie's Rule of Three posted at quirkyreader, saying, "I was able to find and read the plays from "Rule of Three.""
That concludes this edition.
