Trying to figure out which book to read next. Any recommendations?
I have been re-reading some Agatha Christie: I finally delved into her Non-Poirot and Non- Marple novels.Trying to figure out which book to read next. Any recommendations?
Agatha Christie is one of my favorite authors of all time. I discovered her novels when I was about 10, and even got to see stage productions of And Then There Were None, Murder on the Orient Express and Black Coffee.I have been re-reading some Agatha Christie: I finally delved into her Non-Poirot and Non- Marple novels.
I loved The secret of Chimneys, The man in the brown Suit, The Seven Dials mystery .. and a lot of others I had never read before.
Of course I am a fan of hers, but also, their setting ( pre-WW II ) and the irony of Mrs.Christie are what does it for me.

Being about three months into driving home from one of the busiest places in Ireland I can't express enough how much I emphasize with thisI have finally arrived home (after sitting in unfathomable traffic).
Same, I discovered her books at a young age. Now that I am able to appreciate them in the original language though, I can taste another layer of her ability with words.Agatha Christie is one of my favorite authors of all time.

I was so hoping that Kenneth Branagh would do a good job with Murder on the Orient Express, but I was woefully disappointed. So many of Ms. Christie's stories would make excellent adventure-thrillers, especially if they are adapted by a good studio.Same, I discovered her books at a young age.

There are bits and pieces that make me laugh so much.
Like " She gave me a handful of assorted knuckles and rings to squeeze, and began talking ....."
Irony at its finest.
I honestly don't understand how some of her novels did not become adventurous movies or thriller. Maybe they will in coming years.
