What's your favorite Agatha Christie?

Murder of Roger Ackroyd

[lisreed]

Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I like most of her books but the Poirot & Tommy & Tuppence books are my favorites.

I liked "Body in the Library" very much, but my favorite is "And then there were none".

Was it already called "Ten Little Indians" when you were a kid?

I read most of these books when I was a pre-teen/teen. So, I don't remember much of the details. I do remember I like the Hercule Pirot books better than the Miss Marple books.

That said, if you like Agathat Christie there was a Dr. Who episode with "her" in it. It was pretty interesting... it attempted to explain why she disappeared for a short time and turned up at an institution.

(Sorry I don't know the name of the episode or if you can watch this show online. Maybe this web site will help.)

i read it in french and it was a very old pocket edition called "dix petits nègres". it's been republished as "and then there were none" now. whatever the title, i'll never read it again, as i said, that's the only christie book which ever scared the pants off me, and once was already almost too much for my nerves. (i know, i know, i'm such a baby...)

Oh, you've missed a treat, Margaret Rutherford is Miss Marple for a lot of people (me included). She starred in four Miss Marple films - Murder She Said / Murder Ahoy / Murder at the Gallop / Murder Most Foul.

You can buy the DVD box-set quite cheap

Also, you did hear about the LOST Agatha Christie story that's being republished this weekened in a British Newspaper, didn't you?

It's in the Daily Mail, I posted about it in the News Section yesterday https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54252.

But here it is online: starts where the text is BOLD (it's a Poirot mystery)
