General
Elizabeth presents
Endless Night posted at
Miss Lemon's Mysteries, saying, "One of darker novels, Endless Night features neither Poirot nor Miss Marple, but is a masterpiece all the same."
Roberta Rood presents
Torquay, Greenway, and Agatha Christie posted at
Books to the Ceiling, saying, "I thought this might be a nice travel article for the blog."
Hercule Poirot
Yvette presents
Clothes Make the Man posted at
in so many words.... Three representations of Hercule Poirot. Which do you like best?
Jo D'Arcy presents
Five Little Pigs Agatha Christie posted at
The Book Jotter, saying, "This in my opinion is on the best Agatha Christie novels for its plot and structure. Using the idea of a nursery rhyme Christie has Hercule Poirot embark on revealing the truth about a murder that was committed 16 years earlier."
Becky Laney presents
Elephants Can Remember posted at
Becky's Book Reviews. I enjoyed this one. I did. I don't know that it is my favorite Agatha Christie, but it is a good read.
BooksPlease presents
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie posted at
BooksPlease, saying, "Poirot sits back and thinks out the truth - which of the passengers on the Orient Express killed Ratchett?"
KerrieS presents
ONE, TWO, BUCKLE MY SHOE, Agatha Christie posted at
MYSTERIES in PARADISE, saying, "Hercule Poirot (and his good friend Inspector Japp) become involved in this investigation because Poirot has a 6-monthly checkup with the dentist Morley only hours before he dies. Morley's death appears to have the hallmarks of suicide but Poirot is puzzled how someone contemplating suicide could have appeared so "normal"."
Miss Marple
Shirley presents
Book Review: The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie posted at
My Bookshelf. "This was a re-read for me, perhaps the third or fourth time over, and still I found myself immersed in the plot, caught up in the nuances of the world Agatha Christie creates. That is an indication of an undying classic: a book that the reader cherishes and turns to time and again and still finds intrinsic value in the written word therein.
By the way, would you look at this cover? I absolutely love it."
Jo D'Arcy presents
Miss Marple Short Stories posted at
The Book Jotter, saying, "A list with some comments and thoughts on the odd one or two. A reference post as much as anything."
Becky Laney presents
NEMESIS posted at
Becky's Book Reviews, saying, "I enjoyed this one. I wouldn't say it is my favorite Miss Marple mystery. But I'm very glad my library got a copy of this one! (And very happy that HarperCollins has recently published such lovely editions of the Miss Marple mysteries.) If you don't mind a couple of small spoilers, I have something to discuss at the end of this post. "
Tommy and Tuppence
Shirley presents
Book Review: Postern of Fate by Agatha Christie posted at
My Bookshelf. How I enjoy Tommy and Tuppence as the retired sleuths/detectives in this, the last book ever written by Agatha Christie; though it should be noted it was not the last of Agatha Christie's to be published.
Short Stories
che presents
Miss Marple’s Final Cases by Agatha Christie. posted at
From Kafka To Kindergarten. "The name of this book is a bit misleading, firstly because these cases actually occur somewhere in the middle of Marple’s detective career and secondly because two of the short stories in the book do not feature Miss Marple at all."
Jose Ignacio presents
Accident by Agatha Christie posted at
The Game's Afoot. "This short story is an absolute gem of detective fiction, another proof of Agatha Christie’s genius. It will sure make the delights of everyone, whether or not true fans of the gender. "
Discoveries
KerrieS discovered
New official website developed to promote the works of Agatha Christie posted at
THE DRUM - Advertising, Design, Media, Marketing, Digital, PR - News, Information & Jobs, saying, "The "new" site allows fans to plot their own locations of where each of Christie’s plots took place all around the world, through ‘Christie Maps’, allowing users to pick a book and see significant locations mentioned within."
KerrieS presents
MISS MARPLE MAY APPEAR 5 posted at
CRIME SCRAPS REVIEW, saying, "This blogger is featuring some photos of English countryside and houses under the title of "Miss Marple May Appear""
Updates
KerrieS presents
ACRC Update - 20 July 2011 posted at
