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!
