Just finished "Evil Under the Sun", by Agatha Christie. This was her 37th book, originally published in 1941.
Poirot is on holiday at a hotel off the coast of Devon, when one of the guests, a well-known actress, is found strangled on the beach (which reinforces the view that you know you're in BIG trouble if you find yourself at the same holiday destination as a famous detective!). Poirot investigates.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one. An interesting cast of characters, and an intriguing plot. Highly recommended.
On now to SF: "Manalone" by Colin Kapp, published under the "SF Gateway" imprint. I remember reading this when I was a teenager and enjoying it. Standing up very well to a re-read thus far.
