Quote of the Week

 Another quote from Agatha Christie! Meet Miss Jane Marple, elderly spinster and intelligent detective...

"You imagined what you would do if you were a cruel and cold-blooded murderer?" said Craddock looking thoughtfully at Miss Marple's pink and white elderly fragility. "Really, your mind-"
"Like a sink, my nephew Raymond used to say," Miss Marple agreed, nodding her head briskly. "But as I always told him, sinks are necessary domestic equipment and actually very hygienic."

Quote of the Week

This quote is by Agatha Christie, an author who I am so wary of that I can never tell whether a paragraph of seemingly innocent description is, in fact, description, or a clue to the whole mystery. I have not actually read the book this quote is from, but I strongly suspect that the key to the mystery is in an unexpected place...



“Poirot," I said. "I have been thinking."
"An admirable exercise my friend. Continue it.”


-Agatha Christie, Peril at End House
