Mystery novels are memorable for their sleuths! And their villains! But what about the victims? Those poor souls whose demise gives rise to hundreds of pages of reading pleasure? Who remembers the victims? Do you?

Here are the names of some victims found in mysteries penned by Agatha Christie.
Naming the book title (British or American version) earns 1 point.
Naming the means of death earns 1 point.
If poison, naming the specific poison earns a bonus point! Dame Christie did love her poisons!

Please put your means of death guesses in spoiler tags - as some folk may not have read all the Christie books [Gasp! I know - hard to believe] - and we wouldn't want to spoil their first read!


Added some hints:


1. Emily Ingelthorp - The Mysterious Affair at Styles - Iznogood
Spoiler:
Poison
- Iznogood
Spoiler:
Strychnine
- Iznogood

2. Arlena Marshall - (Poirot) - actress - Evil Under the Sun - Iznogood
Spoiler:
strangled
- Iznogood

3. Linnet Ridgeway Doyle - Death on the Nile - Iznogood
Spoiler:
Shot
- Iznogood

4. Ruby Keene - The Body in the Library - pdurrant

Spoiler:
strangled
- pdurrant

5. Mr. Ratchett - Murder on the Orient Express - Iznogood

Spoiler:
Stabbed
- Iznogood

6. Henry Morley - (Poirot) - dentist
Mr. Amberiotis - spy

7. Thomasina Tuckerton - (not a Poirot nor a Marple)

8. Marlene Tucker - (Ariadne Oliver) - Girl Guide

9. Rex Fortescue - (Marple) - business man

10. Madame Giselle (Poirot) - blackmailer

11. Hercule Poirot - Curtain - pdurrant



OK - the game's afoot! [Or awing!]
