🤩 Agatha Christie was certainly my Mom's favorite! As a non-fiction, true crime gal, I didn't get the Christie bug. And, I used to tease Mom about re-reading all of Christie's work again and again..."you already know whodunit!" Well, it made her happy and I'm sure other fans re-read also. 😃
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise she died in the 70's. I haven't read any of her books but she was, and still is very popular.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed many of the adaptations you mentioned. One of these days I'll have to turn my attention to the original source material.
ReplyDeleteI was a big mystery reader in my youth and read aaalllll the Agatha Christies! As far as the adaptations for the screen (big or small) nothing tops David Suchet as Poirot. A more perfect performance has never been rendered.
