I feel a little bit guilty about this. I feel like, reader that I am, mystery fan that I am, I *should* like Christie more than I seemed to.
Silly goose. Reading is a highly personal experience.

It doesn't matter if you like her or not. You tried her..........now enjoy the author you do like reading.

Not caring for a specific author's work in no way reflects on your judgment.
