Yes, indeed, Chrissie. He is always buying me books!

Just acquired fifteen more Agatha Christies ... I've nearly got all the Poirots now - just quite a few of the stand-alones and short stories to go. Hurrah!

Have you got all the Marples yet? Hope you enjoy all 15 books, Rosy.

I have indeed got all the Marples! Really enjoyed my last one, which was Nemesis. On Endless Night at the moment.

"Endless Night" later was filmed with Hayley Mills, Britt Ekland and George Sanders:

Ooh, interesting. Thanks Chrissie!

Today a parcel service delivered a set of 6 DVDs with twelve Miss Marple films starring Joan Hickson. It's almost about 20 years ago when I watched them the last time on TV.

Hope you enjoy watching all the episodes, Wolfgang.

Ooh, how lovely! I've been watching Poirot with David Suchet, but haven't seen any of the Miss Marples yet. That sounds like great fun.

I have started reading A Murder Is Announced by Agatha Christie and I am really enjoying the intriguing and unique storyline. Afterall: it isn't often, in a 'whodunit', that a murder is so blatantly and publicly scheduled and I found that particular element of the story very original and enthralling.
I also find it highly amusing reading about how this author portrays the featured community and neighbours as such nosey and curious people and the gossip that occurs in the opening chapters of this book is really entertaining and humorous! A really enjoyable book.

Its a very good book Poppy,one of my favourites.
As usual beware of all the false clues and red herrings and pay very close attention to every name you read in the book!

....very close attention!

Great new avatar, Moonraker!
Happy New Year .
