Read it long ago. Watching poirot on pbs

The butler did it.

I think it might just have been the very first Agatha Christie novel I had read as a kid. I was still reading translations into my language back then, of course. I only remember being pretty damn traumatized by the final revelation of how it was done. My poor little mind couldn't yet process such sociopathy and my parents didn't care/didn't know how to screen inappropriate materials for me.

I will read with this book club. it is Agatha Christie motherfuckers.

I loved the Ariadne Oliver books, also liked the Tommy and Tuppence mysteries. liked the historical context though they were not Christie's best. The Oliver and Tommy and Tuppence books are well worth reading.

Beware of good looking men...

I have a suggestion for your next book to read!

'you're mother should have taught you that when you are in a position of service there is a word of diffence between....' who remembers the exchange between la Davis and la Smith ? That was hilarious. The film holds up I think. Mia was at her best, playing basically herself, lansbury was annoying but the rest of the cast and the production was so exceptionnel, you could even forgive simon mc cordingale.

I got the book, Op. Reading and sipping wine tonight.

Death on the Nile

Is the film as good as the book?

Who did it?

The film is well worth watching, Evil Under The Sun is better, though.

I loved the movie. The costumes were great. Mia didn't though.

One of my favorites. Both book and movie.

I've always loved that with Christie the solution is right there if you can think outside the box.

Fucking god, the retarded Quote 4 troll is back?

Just die already.

When are you slags going to discuss the book?

[quote]I've always loved that with Christie the solution is right there if you can think outside the box.

That's true of her best books, but she didn't always play fair; sometimes you would have to make some very wild leaps from very little information. I think Dead Man's Folly was one of those, and After the Funeral. Sometimes the plots were very improbable. But then, that's part of the fun. The set-up of Cards on the Table is as irresistible as it is incredible.

I won't go into spoiler territory, but even Death on the Nile is a bit "unfair" in that the first murder would have to have been planned pretty carefully...except it should have been impossible to plan in any detail.

My entree was the Tyrone Power "Witness For the Prosecution" at age fourteen. I found the book (actually, a novella with short stories) in my house, and it was Katy, bar the door! I at 68 am still an aficionada! I adore Suchet (but prefer the Ustinov "Evil Under the Sun"), admire Joan Hickson (her "At Bertram's Hotel" wins), love Margaret Rutherford, and refuse to watch David Walliams as Tommy!

But the written works are superior to any adaptation, IMO!

Bump for the dark winter evenings, curled up with a great book!
