Don't remember the name, but it has been probably 30 years, and I imagine there have been several written since then. I'm putting Dame Agatha back on my biography list.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-6777341185184458792008-08-28T20:24:00.000-04:002008-08-28T20:24:00.000-04:00I love your masthead photo's, Nan... especially to...I love your masthead photo's, Nan... especially today's clothesline photograph.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-49941866348616506292008-08-28T20:18:00.000-04:002008-08-28T20:18:00.000-04:00Nan, I love all the Agatha Christie books!

I will put "The Poet of Tolstoy Park" on my book purchase list. When I am not dreaming, I know this home and garden is all I can handle. But then "never" is not a part of my vocabulary.<BR/>Have a great day.

A far better lady detective, in my opinion, is Miss Silver, in the series by Patricia Wentworth. Also a knitter, Maud Silver is a professional 'private enquiry agent' and former governess and she's great!<BR/>Re Death on the Nile. We spent a year in Egypt in the late 70s when the children were small as my husband was on a contract there, and we had a magical (and scary/hairy) trip to Luxor and Aswan, staying in The Old Winter Palace hotel, featured in the Peter Ustinov film - Death on the Nile. (Lovely hotel if you're in that neck of the woods, though my recommendation is, of necessity, 30 years old!)Nicola Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03076176253820195827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-10111187795111758552008-08-28T11:31:00.000-04:002008-08-28T11:31:00.000-04:00Funny, I'm only familiar with Poirot and not with ...Funny, I'm only familiar with Poirot and not with Miss Marple. :) I'm glad to hear the audio version was a good one - I'm almost finished with the audio books I have in my car, and this will be a great one to pick up next.Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.com
