I have taken the liberty of startiing this for people who are reading books that don't feature Poirot, Miss Marple or Tommy and Tuppence as it seemed a good idea, I have just read the Introduction to 'Passenger To Frankfurt and am Wondering if it is relevent to the rest of the book.

I've just started on And Then There Were None. I haven't really read any books without Poirot, Miss Marple, or Tommy and Tuppence. I'm having a hard time figuring out who the detective is supposed to be. Am I correct in guessing that Lombard, Armstrong, and Walgrave are figuring this out together?

Tommy I watched the new version on Masterpiece Mystery.

I finished The Pale Horse and now I'm starting The Sittaford Mystery. I had almost all the books in paperback and my vision is too poor to read them, so I gave them to my daughter. Now I'm buying the ebooks for those stories I don't remember well and rebuilding my Christie collection

Which version did you watch? I have only watched the Most recent one, I have the Dramatized Audio Cassette, It is AWFUL, Too much is cut but the Gist stays the same.

I'm reading The Pale Horse. I just watched the TV show and did not remember or enjoy it very much. Now that I started reading the book I remember why, I don't feel they did this story justice on TV. Messing with Dame Agatha's stories is not always a good idea.

I first read this book way back in the 1970;s... now I reading it with an ebook reader. Times have changed, but the wonderful writing of Agatha Christie stays true to form.

I really like "Third Girl" and I also like a film starring David Suchet and Zoë Wanamaker. This book is awsome;)

IMHO None of the Adaptations of 4.50 From Paddington are better than the book but the JH version is Great and the GM version isn't horrible

Have you seen the movie 4:50 form Paddington? It was great. I think it might have even been better than the book.
