Everyone has a guilty pleasure. Mine is Agatha Christie.Oh! The mysteries are captivating as the characters are splendid. I recently read The Man in the Brown Suit. Again. I think this might have been the fourth or fifth time at least. A hint for those of you who aren't experienced enough to know: the mysteries that don't involve Poirot or Marple are just as good or better than those that do. The espionage novels are stellar, too. The Man in the Brown Suit is one of Agatha Christie's earliest novels (and one of her best). Girls especially will identify with the spunky girl hero and swoon with the discovery of...well...you'll find out who! True, there are a couple of dead bodies, but the story is mainly about the search for the leader of a major crime ring, and a diamond theft!
Oh, I love Christie, and if you are in my area, you are welcome to Christie books by the handful if you know me. Oh, if you are new to Christie, may I suggest: The ABC Murders, Man in the Brown Suit, The Secret Adversary, Ten Little Indians, Murder on the Orient Express, and almost any other. Just contact me and ask me how good it is, and I'll tell you! : )
Am I the only one who's found this?
