Because of the multiple titles, I’ve often picked up a book thinking I had found one I hadn’t read, only to find I had. ![]() On Tuesday, I blogged about Re-Reading Christie and the alternative titles of her novels. Let me know of any other Agatha Christie posts this week.Īs I mentioned on my blog earlier this week, I’m a huge Agatha Christie Fan, having taught numerous classes on the Queen of Crime, attended the Agatha Christie Centennial in Torquay and the one in the U.S., read everything and anything by and about her, and even set up a Botanical Garden tour based on Agatha Christie’s visit to the UC Botanical Gardens. And, don't miss Kerrie Smith's Agatha Christie Reading Challenge Carnival. Becke Davis, mystery fan and writer, hosts the site, and you'll want to have a look at everything being written about Agatha Christie this month by so many of your favorite writers, reviewers and fans.
