Right now I am re-reading Cards On the Table. Gonna buy again Christie books later.

I'm reading The Murder at the Vicarage. I'm at chapter 13 from 32. So far I like the story. I'm not sure yet who is the murderer but I have a few ideas.

ariadnepoirotmarple

You will be surprised at the ending

now I will re-read And Then There Were None and I just bought 2 books

ariadnepoirotmarple

What is that strange scene? anyway I already knew the murderer

I Love death on the nile.. I read 200 pages straight LOL.

All i'll say about Hallowe'en Party is that apm.. you will be suprized

I've finished reading The murder at the Vicarage this weekend and now I'm reading They do it with mirrors. I liked The murder at the vicarage very much. I hope that They do it with mirrors will be good too, maybe better.

PisiMare Isn't the end surprising? I really love that book.

Yay I just finished Mysterious affair at syles.. I was Shocked!! Now im finishing off HP's Chistmas (in honor of Christmas)

Hi! I am reading murder in mesopotamia. I found it really intersting and funny. I think it is one of my favourite books of AC Also, from my point of view Sparking Cyaride is the best one to start reading AC.

detectivepauljohn

yes the end was quiet surprising. it makes the book even better. I liked the book very much. Now I'm reading They do it with mirrors..I'm almost at the end. It is a good book too

I just finished HP's Christmas and Im off to Roger Akynroyd but my copy got all ruined in the rain so I have to get another.. Arg.. I got to wait It was just starting to pick up too.

I just finished reading "They Do it With Mirrors". I plan to read "The Body in the Library" next.

Now I am reading Hercule Poirot's Christmas. I hope the conclusion will be as surprising as Evil Under the Sun!!!

OOOh Body in the library was one of my first.. Short Sweet and To the point! Great Story. Im about Half way with Roger Ackynroyd I dont have much time to read anymore.

I already finished Hercule Poirot's Christmas(ending is surprising) and now I am currently reading Five Little Pigs.

I just finished 'And Then There Were None' a while ago.. Indeed, a masterpiece... And now my next book, 'The Listerdale Mystery'.

marmalade_sunrise

It is a bit creepy in the last four or five chapters. I mean-the suspenseful parts

I finished reading Hickory Dickory Dock and now reading Evil Under the Sun.

devilgal19

I think you will be schocked or surprised at the ending

detectivepauljohn

devilgal19

I think you will be schocked or surprised at the ending

Not shocked at all...lol!

I'm read Murder on The Orient Express for what must be the 25th time and I still have no clue how Poirot figured it out. I suppose that's why he's the famous fictional detective and I'm just one of the readers.

Did anyone actually understand Cat Among The Pigeons or am I just slow?

i am reading pocket full of rye i reaaly like it till now.

third girl is avery good book

I have just started Appointment With Death although I know who the Murderer is as I have seen the Ustinov Version I wanted to read this so I cdould comment on the Suchet Adaptation which I think is on this year, It was that or Clocks which I haven't read before and so I don't know who the Murderer is and probably should have chosen that instead

I have just strted The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Is it good?

OMG !

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is sooooooooo good!

It's one of AC's best.

I bet you can't guess who the murderer is.

It's very surprising.

I am now reading 'One, Two, Buckle my Shoe'. Have anyone read it?

I think that Agatha is really really good at using nursery rhymes and poems in her books.

I am reading dumb witness. it's quite interesting till now.

I'm reading Double Sin and other stories.  It's a great read if you're short on time or if you are new to Agatha Christie to "test the waters".

Murder on the links is the nexy book in my que.

ariadnepoirotmarple

I 'm in the middle of Cat Among The Pigeons because here in the US, it's premiering on June 21st.  I have to say, however, that I'm finding it very dull!  I am halfway through the novel and Hercule Poirot has not been introduced yet!  I'm amazed!

im reading

miss marple's last cases

After reading a few AC's, I decided to read them in chronological order. I've read Mysterious Affair At Styles. I'm just starting Murder on the Links.

I just finished "Murder on the Links."

Interesting twist at the end. 

Halloween Party

I just finished And Then There Was None, amazing book!

I'm currently reading 13 For Luck

Just finished 'Murder on the Links'. Going to start 'Poirot Investigates'. I really enjoyed MOTL. Surprise ending.

Glad to know that someone else enjoyed the twist in MOTL.

Right now Im taking a break from AC.. Im currently reading Matthew Pearls' "The Dante Club" I want to get back into AC but unfortunatly I have to read a book called "Bless Me, Ultima" for Honor's Language Arts for school. It doesn't sound too interesting and the more boring the book the longer it takes me to read. So.. Hopefully I can finish it quick.

 Going to start Three Acts Tragedy

I have just started 'The Clocks'

I have just finished Endless Night which was fantastic.  Such a surprising ending and so tragic.

Endless Night is not only one of my favorite AC books, but one of my favorite books ever! The writing is absolutely superb!

Each to their own Moley, I hated it

I just finsided "Poirot Investigates" and I'm currently reading "Death In The Clouds."

Yesterday I finished ''The mystery of the Christmass pudding'' and I started readind the ''Death on the clouds''.

sapphire_arisa

I am now reading 'One, Two, Buckle my Shoe'. Have anyone read it?

I think that Agatha is really really good at using nursery rhymes and poems in her books.

sapphire_arisa

I am now reading 'One, Two, Buckle my Shoe'. Have anyone read it?

I think that Agatha is really really good at using nursery rhymes and poems in her books.

It is my favourite AC's book !

I read 'One Two Buckle My Shoe' Years ago, If I am right it is onre of the instances where the Rhyme doesn't really fit. I will have to read it again sometime.

As far as I remember in One,Two,Buckle My Shoe one of the most important clues was the absence/presence of the buckle of a shoe. It established the identity of the victim. So, I think the rhyme kind of fits the story.

As of now, I recently finished Three Act Tragedy. Quite a mystery, it was. Again, the murderer caught my eye, or, as Poirot said, "leaps to the eye".

Mr Satterthwaite might have solved the mystery himslef, come to think of it again. He simply must alter his viewpoint. Or perhaps, he is missing a catalyst?

I just finished "The Secret of Chimneys."  I'm going to the library to get more books today.

(Hi, I'm new)

I'm currently reading Dead Man's Folly. Loving it so far.

I just finished "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd."  Now it's onto "The Big Four." 

But I did read in the Osborne book that  Four should be read before Roger because of certain events mentioned.

I'm reading Thirteen at  Dinner/Lord Edgware Dies right now. I plan to make my way through every Hercule Poirot shortstory and novel to make "The Ultimate Order" list to read these. I've tried looking for lists everywhere but they all say different things (ugghh). If anybody has a list of their own that they want to share, then e-mail me :P Thanks lilyv687@hotmail.com

Still haven't started "Bless me Ultima" Currently Reading Cat Among the Pigeons. Great Book Im sailing right through it. The TV show Sparked my intrest On page 220 Something like that.

Currently I'm reading Blue Train, then it's onto 7 Dials.

I am reading a non-Agatha Christie book and then I will start with ABC Murders but I wanted to say that it amazed me how fast you are reading the books Number3.

I've started reading AC's books a few moths ago. Right now I'm reading They came to Baghdad. I'm only on chapter 6 and so far is very good.

na  I'm on summer holidays.  Then it's back to teaching in August and the pace will slow.

Hehe It is allright. When I first started reading Agatha Christie I read a lot of novels and very fast of course it also depended on the time I had. Now I try to change a little and not read one after another. For example some time ago I read A Murder is Announced then Oliver Twist, then some short stories from different authors now I am reading something from Gabriel Garcia Marquez (I am from South America, argentinian) and then I will read another Christe book. Maybe the ABC Murders or a Marple book as I haven't read many of her. Anyway, make the most of your holidays, keep reading!

I just finished rereading Cards on the Table for the nth time. I've read it so much, I've lost track. I find that, for some reason, when rereading books the 3rd time, I'm getting very good at guessing the killer. :P

hehe that could go in the How many cases have you guessed right. Well... I guessed the killer in Cards on the Table... the 3rd time I read it, haha.

I am re-reading ELEPHANTS CAN REMEMBER; had noted that I read three other stories with Ariadne Oliver in them, so I though I'd then read ELEPHANTS, which is the last AC book with Ms. Oliver in it.

I'm reading both Lord Edgware Dies and Poirot's Early Cases. Whenever I want a light read, I'll just read one of Poirot's Early Cases' short stories. I'm enjoying Lord Edgware Dies, even though I know the solution pretty well. :P

About two weeks ago my computer crashed, taking all my data with it. In addition to that I have a cold. As a result had all the time in the world with nothing to do. So, in the past four-five days have finished re-reading five Agatha Christie books. Cards on the Table, Evil under the Sun, Pale Horse, Parker Pyne Investigates and Problem at Pollensa Bay.

I read most of the Poirot novels and short stories years ago, and I didn't think I'd read any more of her stuff, because I (wrongly) thought Poirot was all she wrote that was worth reading. Just read 'And Then There Were None' in a single day last week, and thought it was superb. Now I'm going to read more of her books. I'm reading a lot of Lawrence Block atm, and I'll read one of his, then one of her's, and keep going like that for a while.

Next up is is one of the Poirots I missed, 'Sad Cypress', then I have 'The Man in the Brown Suit', and 'The Hound of Death'. I get all my books from the library these days, btw.

Next on the list for me is Giant's Bread.

Today I visited the antiquarian book shop near my family home and it was loaded with AC novels.

I finished Cat among the Pigeons.. Now onto Thursday Night Murders Club but taking a break to read Harry Potter.. Their actually pretty good. I had never read them

I just brought Dead Man's Folly from Greenway when I went to visit so I am reading that Haven't got very far though.

Hi all! I'm an 21 years old Italian fan of Agatha Christie - have been for several years now, ever since I was eleven and I received a copy of "Murder on the Orient Express" for my birthday. I have read most of her books in Italian and now am discovering them again in English - and really I find them so much richer and awesome than the translated versions *_*

Right now I've begun "An Autobiography" (which in Italian was already my favorite book of Dame Agatha, the book I would take with me to a desert island) and am loving each and every page of it. It took about a month to finish the english Christie books I had acquired - Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile, And then There were none, + a collection of Christie plays. Reading them again in their original language was like getting reacquainted with old friends. And I'm expectantly waiting for an order of twenty more books of her to be shipped in the next few days! I foresee many hours in company of my favorite Christie stories this summer :D

marmalade_sunrise

To those of you reading Hallowe'en Party...do you find that one particularly creepy, or is it just me?

I read that book and it was fastmoving and its end was very surprising.

I have just started 'at Bertram's Hotel' and I find it really exciting, I'm looking forward to learning who will be murdered and why? and of course who is the murderer? But ı know even if ı try too hard to understand who is the murderer, ı won't be able to guess this time,either=)

Now reading the ORDEAL BY INNOCENCE,family mysteries by Agatha are quite fascinating!

Finished reading Ordeal of Innocence yesterday, just started reading the Secret of Chimneys.

Planning on reading The Big Four next.

I just finished Giant's Bread and now I'm reading The Sittaford Mystery/Murder at Hazelmoor.

I have read The Sittaford Mystery. I'd give it 5/10.

I have just started 'The Labours of Hercules

Just finished Sittaford/Murder at Hazelmoor.  I'm currently reading "The other Boleyn girl" while I'm waiting for  Peril at End House and Tuesday Club.

I'm reading Three Act Tragedy. I got it the day before yesterday, started reading it yesterday and am on page 100. For me that's pretty fast! I like the plot so far. And I really like Egg, Lady Mary, and Sir Charles, and of course Poirot. The only character I don't care for is Mr. Sattherwaite; I'm sorry he's just so boring!

That one was going to be the AC book I read next but as someone said there is a Character portrayed in The Mirror Crack'd I am thining of reading that first to see how it alters my opinion of the book before Britain see it next month in the hope it is the last shown.

I think you'd like it, Winne. It's a real brain teaser: it's really got me feverishly wondering who the culprit is!

Which Are you talking about Moley, Three-Act Tragedy or By The Pricking of my Thumbs and which should I read first, I know the Identity of the Killers in both, Unfortunately I have only got 5 AC Books to read where I don't know the Killer and 3 are HP books and the others are Non-series Books and one of those has been done on Television and the Poirot's which have been done whose murderers I don't know where done a while ago and I can't remember who the Murderers are and have been able to avoid the repeats. 

I mean, Three Act Tragedy.

''Death on the clouds''

I have just finished Murder on the Orient Express.

Elephants Can Remember

I finished ''Death on the clouds'' yesterday and I dont know which AC's book to start. Is ''Murder at the vicarage'' good ?

I just start reading ''Murder at the Vicarage''.

I just finished The ABC Murders and I thought that was great. Really clever and I have to admit, I was fooled. But my favourite is still At Bertram's Hotel.

Finished The Pillars of the Earth today. It took four days to finish the whole book. 1088 pages in 4 days, that's over 270 pages everyday. That's a record for me! Anyway, now I'm in the mood for something light. Maybe I'll re-read Dead Man's Folly. Is it really the book club's August selection? Or is it Murder on the Orient Express? Or is it some other book?

Just started 13 At Dinner/Lord Edgeware Dies.

In the middle of Elephants Can Remember. Okay I guess....

I am going to start Three-Act Tragedy this evening

Currently reading both Sparkling Cyanide and The Sittaford Mystery.

Being good and re-reading "Murder on the Orient Express" for the book club. Are you enjoying them both, MissScarlett107? I love both of those, but especially "The Sittaford Mystery".

Sparkling Cyanide was the first AC book I ever read. And I've been a fan ever since. Haven't read it in a while though. Time for a re-read perhaps.

As for The Sittaford Mystery, the book was on the whole interesting but the end dissappointed me.

I have just finished "Death in the Clouds" and i'm waiting impatiently to start reading "The Big Four". I have sold it online but it doesn't come. When waiting will be to long, i 'll go to the bookmarket or the library, that's for sure!!!

I love Death In The Clouds, it is one of my favourites

I'm on page 192 of Problem at Pollensa Bay so I'm almost finished the story; 'The Love Detectives' just one or two more storiesleft then the book is finished. Loved it all so far.

I am currently reading The Hollow, which I read every September (when the story takes place).  The characters in this story are so well-developed.  Lucy Angatell is so funny!  I just love her conversations and thought processes!  The mystery itself is very intriguing and even though I know who committed the murder, I find something new each read to keep me interested.  I like to read the book and then watch the movie!

Im reading Murder in the Mespot.  Not one of my faves.

Anyone know any good Halloween AC books other then Halloween Party?

Do try Appointment with Death if you haven't read it (obviously!!). Along with Five Little Pigs, it ranks as my favorite. Both quite similar in the investigation techniques and brilliantly done.

Why are you not fond of Murder in Mesopotania?

How about reading The Thirteen Problems? There is something really eerie about a group of people sitting around and telling tales of unsolved mysteries. Or how about The Sleeping Murder? But then it might not seem creepy to you as it did to me for I read it one stormy afternoon while there was nobody home. I wasn't scared, just really engrossed in the story and then suddenly the power went out! I think that was the creepiest moment I've experienced while reading a non-horror story!

Why do you think there is something eerie about six people sitting round teling Murder stories Frndorfoe? I dissagree I think it is very cozy and tidy, If they were telling Ghost Stories I would agree, If you want to reed eerie stories apart from Halloween Party and Slleping Murder there is also Endless Night and Crooked House although |I didn't like either of them,  Seeing anotherr thread has reminded me of By The Pricking of My Thumb and Postern of Fate both are good and might fit the bill.

Oh! I’m sorry, Tommy. I didn’t know I was recommending books for you! I thought I was recommending books for AndThenThereWasTim.  Anyway, you and I have very different opinions about books. You like long and rambling books like Clocks and Nemesis, while I don’t. I thought the atmosphere of The Thirteen Problems, where people recount stories of crimes that have gone (mostly) unpunished, was eerie. Whether you agree or not doesn’t matter as I can recommend anything I want as long as I don’t make the recommendation to you.

You weren't recommending books for me, I was making suggestions and at the same time just saying that is not how I saw The Thirteen Problems which I assumed is something we are all entitled to do, I agree wether we agree or disagree about a book doesn't matter but having other peoples opinion is I think Intresting, If we didn't debate books  the site would be far less interesting, just for the record I don't like Psychological books and books where at the end conclusion can be called unfair. I will remember not to give you my opinions on books as you obviously aren't Interested.

When I recommend books to you, you can give your opinion. But I still maintain that I was talking to the other person, not to you. If I was having that conversation in The Thirteen Problems book page then you could express your agreement or disagreement about my opinions. Saying that you disagree with my choice as and when I'm making a recommendation to someone else just undermines my opinion. And  I will not have that.

I thought like all conversations on the site they were open for everyone to pitch in and I still maintain that although when people are having a conversation which has gone on for a while I will stay out of it I thought when people ask for Ideas to read they are asking everybody, to say I was undermining you is a bit Melodramatic and silly, I understand you are just a child so I will put it down to that.

Think of it like this, Tommy. You are having this conversation with someone at a party. Suddenly I barge in on the conversation and say “You are wrong about that, you know. You are giving so and so the wrong information.” Will you like that? Here you are having this conversation with some one else and I go barging in and telling you how wrong you are about something. You can always give your opinion anywhere you like and agree or disagree with me. I do not mind that. But I still say when I’m recommending something to someone else you should not say I’m wrong in doing so. Let the other person decide what he thinks about it for himself. 

And I'm not a child. I'm not as young as you think I am. I am in my early twenties. But you are probably way older than I am so I'll take that as a compliment!

If you are at a party you are in a room with many people and so I would have thought you would ask the opinion of many people asking just one person's opinion  made me think that a Telephone Conversation is a better example although you can be in a room with more than one person and only be talking to one person but not at a party as a party is a sociable thing but you are probably talking about a drinks Party where people actively seek someone to talk to where as a dinner party is where you would talk to people as a group BUT surely if someone at a party wanted to cavasse opinions they would ask more than one person which is more forum-like.

I don't widh to be rude to you but I assumed you were a child because your post seemed child-like and so I can't understand how you can take me thinking you were a child as a compliment although as I said I have never meant to offend you or anybody btw, you are right I am alot older than you as I am in my early 40s

I repeat, you can always agree or disagree with me. I do not mind that. But all I am saying is this; do not disrespect other people’s opinions. I was making a certain recommendation based on my own judgment about a book to someone else. You are saying that I’m wrong in making that recommendation. Why does that bother you? It is not as if, if I’m wrong it will cause a national disaster. When you question my judgment, while I’m talking to someone else, not you, you disrespect me. And that is why I am bothered by it. But if you still do not see or do not choose to see my point then I guess there is nothing I can do about it. I’m just sad to see that a grown person (because according to you everyone who stands up to you and you can not bully is a child) like you fails to see his own faults.

I did not think I was Disrespecting you I thought I wwas just giving another point of view, I don't disrespect people, In No way did I mean to suggest you were wrong I was just giving my opinion based on my Judgement, It is quite possible for 2 people to watch a programme or read a book and have totally different opinions that doesn't mean that one is right and the other is wrong and it certainly doesn't mean that one person is trying to undermine another point of view, I Totally and Unreservedly Apologise for the last paragraph of my last post, I wanted to remove it but wanted to keep the rest and due to time restraints didn't want to delete it and re-write the bit I wanted to keep. I do understand that we might come across differently to how we would if we were face to face so again I Apologise if you feel as if I have insulted you but I am Not a Bully and I do know I have faults as we all do but being a Bully is not one of them after all I couldn't be as there is only room for 1 Bully on this site!

And who would that bully be, Mr. Jones? Anyway, like I've said before if you still do not see or do not choose to see my point then I guess there is nothing I can do about it. I don't want to argue anymore. I have a life (unlike some grown ups I know) and I would like to get back to it.

You can work out who I meant, 2 more things though;

1. I have never criticiswed you for your point pof view about Any Book and

2. If you hadn't attacked me for offering my opinion on The Thirteen Problems we weould not have been argueing, Perhaps I should not have broken in to a conversation between you and Tim (Although I thought that is what a forum is for) But perhaps if anybody asks for reccomendations Anybody should be entitled to and if Anybody sewes a book one way Anybody should be entitled to say how they see the book but perhaps Debate is a concept that is too Grown Up for you.

Yes, Mr. Jones. You barge in to a conversation, you criticize my recommendation and question my point of view and you persistently continue to argue with a person who is young enough to be your child. And of course I am the bully. How mature of you! It's all just too wonderful!

Come on, guys, there's nothing wrong with offering different opinions about the same book. I'm rather shocked. No one attacked anyone else in that initial post, it was merely a different insight on the same book. Last time I checked, people are allowed to have different opinions and express them politely (which is what happened). There was no need to make it so savagely personal.

I'm sorry, go leafs. I didn't mean to be rude. But this isn't the first time. This was just the last straw. Previously when I disagreed with him about the reasons for my not liking the characters of the book Nemesis, he kept saying that I was wrong in my not liking the characters and my reasoning was faulty and his was right. And then when I said I didn't think The clocks was an interesting book and that I didn't think that Lamb was Battle's son, he still kept saying that what he thought about all of it was right, and I was wrong. He just kept arguing. Both of the times I didn’t say anything because I didn't want any unpleasantness. But I just couldn't take it anymore! He always does this! I do not mind him not agreeing with me. But he always insists that he is right! But if you still think I'm wrong then I am sorry. I guess he is just bigger than me and I shouldn't have stood up for myself. I'm sorry that I thought that what is right is right. I'm just sorry.

I have never meant to say you were wrong just that that the way you see The Clocks, Nemesis and The Thirteen Problems is not the way I see them, there is no riight or wrong way to see a book, If you Frndorfoe had not objected to me saying what I said about The Thirteen Problems we wouldn't have had the arguement, I thought as it was a forum EVERYBODIES opinion was being asked.  

Whatever. Let's just let it go.

I agree as up to this spat I have enjoyed your posts.

Yeah, whatever.

I can see why you reacted like you did, Frndorfoe, but if you don't mind my saying so, he has something of a point when it comes to The Thirteen Problems. Personally, I consider the short story collection as one of the best of all-time for several reasons which I might rant about some day. Although you are right, and some stories really are chillingly appropriate for a Hallowe'en atmosphere (The Blue Geranium, The Idol House of Astarte, The Blood-Stained Pavement), most of the stories are rather comfy intellectual puzzles (after all, they ARE playing a game; the best examples are Ingots of Gold and The Tuesday Night Club, neither which can be described as "chilling" in the least).

When looking for "Hallowe'en" ACs, 'supernatural' mysteries are often the best when it comes to atmosphere. The Pale Horse is my personal favourite, but the others I'd include are The Sittaford Mystery, and, as was mentioned, Sleeping Murder. I find it a shame AC didn't write more of these, as I have a particular affinity for them, far more than for her rather mediocre adventure novels.

To each his/her own, go leafs. I found the atmosphere of people gathering and talking about (mostly) unpunished crimes kind of chilling. Old sins casting long shadows and some of the criminals getting punished not by the law but by the hands of God and some of the stories having a supernatural element. etc. But I guess I was wrong. I'm sorry. I guess I don't know anything.

No one is right and no one is wrong. We are all individuals who have different views on the same subjsct. And thats healthy. Debate is a great thing because it can get us to look at something from another perspective (one that previously hadn't occured to us) and see if it enchances our appreciation of it or detracts from it. Each and every point of view is valuable.

I love reading everyones posts and learn something new everytime I log on.

Oh, and currently I am rereading One, Two, Buckle My Shoe.

I agree with you Puffinjill, I meant to say that you can a different opinion and say that in your opinion someone else was wrong without sounding like you mean offence which  I didn't, I do think like go-leafs said that The Blue Geranium, The Idle House of Astarte and The Blood-stained Pavement might feel eerie but as they die at the hand of Humans who are revealed thanks to Miss Marple, I don't think of the stories themselves as eerie, I think some in The Hound of Death are though but can't remember which ones, I haven't read The Pasle Horse or The Sittorford Mystery so don't know about those. 

I am currently reading Death in the Clouds and still in the first few chapters.  AC is having Jane Grey and Norman Gale become better acquainted by having tea together to discuss the murder case they have become involved in.  I like the way AC describes each of their thoughts about the other as they are definitely attracted to each other.  As usual, Poirot is thoroughly using his little gray cells and studying the psychology of the murderer while Inspector Japp is stuck on the physical evidence.  I am going to finish the book and then watch the DVD.  The movie makers changed soooo much from the book, so I like to re-read the books to stay intune with true Agatha Christie.

Wow it didn't mean to get in a Big debate.. and anyways I've read Thirteen Problems over the summer. I do think it was kind of a Halloween Book the atmosphere was Halloweeny. Right now Im reading The Sittaford Mystery. It will be my first Non-Series Book. I've been wanting to read it for ages.

Btw: I wasn't too fond of Murder in the Mespot  because it was a bit slow and the characters were a bit dull (not including Mrs. Leinder) and the solution was a bit strange for me.

P.S. Come Noverber this thread will have been going for a year with over 150 Posts!! Thanks to All who Posted!

Oh, Oh, Oh!! I hope you like The Sittaford Mystery! I think it's got some great characters in it. It's a favourite of mine to read in the winter months as the weather then mirrors the setting in the plot and it's a great one to curl up with on a dark and blustery winters night. Let me know what you think of Emily Trefusis!

I can see where you are coming from when you say Murder in Mesepotamia is a bit slow to get going. I do like the book, as it's interesting to have the tale narrated by Amy Letheran, but I found it hard to like Mrs Leidner (dull she was not, but the sort of female most women wouldn't warm to) and subsequently care what happened to her. Or perhaps I'm just mean...

I have just finished Hickery Dickery Dock but I must say  I didn't realy recognise Hercule Poirot in it.

I'm reading Why Didn't They Ask Evans (don't spoil it for me thanks)

It's one of my favourites, TheButlerDidIt, and I wouldn't DREAM of giving away the plot for you!! I do so hope you enjoy it too!

Me Too TheButlerDidIT - Great Name, The secod best I have seen, it really captureds the feel of Histrical Novels (Like my favourite) even though the idea is an Urban Myth although I read it was created by the person who finished Dorothy L Sayers last book which she started writing before her Death and so was finished by someone else, My favourite Username I have seen on here is the last line said by Joan Hickson on when she playes Miss Marple in The Mirror Crack'd From Side To Side - I can't rermember if it is the last thing Miss Marple says in the Book  I apologise for my Puzzling Post but I do like my puzzles feel free to ignore it if you wan't to, I haven't seen a post from the person lately so cannot ask her or him if that is where he or she gotit from or wether he or she is a fan of Keeping Up Appearances and/or other Programmes opr plays with the same Atmosphere (I think that ios the word I am looking for please someone tell me a more suitable word if there is one) 

Right now I am reading The body in the library.

I have just finished The Sittaford Mystery and enjoyed it very much.I heard that a recent Miss Marple television production of this book. However did they work MM into the plot? I also thought that Emily Trefusis is a sort of prototype Lucy Eylesbarrow, a confident young woman who can look after herself but also use her feminine charms and who has to choose  between two suitors.

I didn't see it, ampman, mainly because I couldn't bear to see haow they ripped the plot apart to insert Miss Marple. I love The Sittaford Mystery and couldn't see why it needed to be adapted as a Marple.

I agree with your comments on Emily Trefusis. She is a bright spark!!

i am reading now "the body in the library" and i like it very much but i cannot understand who is murder yet !

I am on Chapter 7, I don't find it creepy but then I tend to find things either unpleasant or not and I am a man in my 40s so perhaps that is why, I find writing where incest or child Murderers aree concerned unpleasant but not Haloween Party. I found Miss Knight in The Mirror Crack'd From Side To Side Disturbing creepy and Horrible.
