And of the Miss Marple ones, A Murder is Announced is really good, as well as 4:50 from Paddington and Murder at the Vicarage. <br><br>They're all good; I like the early Poirot ones the best.NancyOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12027036137062767840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008954639175647714.post-26866002237166290252010-06-08T20:32:17.093-04:002010-06-08T20:32:17.093-04:00Thanks for the post.

Like you I would say that it is not my favourite Christie - but it is definately in the top half! I also like that you have picked out that Christie brings out the historical period and the dreadful hardships of the post war years. It i not that often in her work that she does this but when she does she does it really well I think. Another good one from this point of view is A Murder is Announced...<br><br>Anyway - great post thanks indeed for sharing<br><br>HannahHannah Stonehamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11139146341592918233noreply@blogger.com
