The Blog

First of all, I want to welcome all of the Agatha Christie fans who are visiting this blog.  I hope that you enjoy my essays, and that what I write helps to enhance your appreciation for the works of Agatha Christie.

I intend to produce several different styles of essays.  Some of what I write will be critical essays, evaluating some of Christie’s work or certain adaptations of her stories.  Others may be factual essays about real-life crimes that may have affected Christie’s work, or true anecdotes about Christie’s impact on fans.

Other essays that I write ...

If you were to ask me what I thought was the most important Agatha Christie thing that was going to happen in the next year, I would say the reopening of Greenway, Nima’s [my grandmother's] lovely house in Devon, now owned by the National Trust.  To me, Greenway means all kinds of childhood things – cricket on the lawn, a loving family, cream teas which Nima drank from a mug called Don’t Be Greedy (an admonition she never obeyed) and watching the Dart steamers steam past with her in the boathouse (read Dead Man’s Folly).

For you ...
