I blame my mother; she was always preaching the virtues of a good cozy Agatha Christie mystery. I have yet to see the Mousetrap, however. Until I have that opportunity, I will have to content myself with the old fashioned cup-of-tea page-turners. Murder on the Orient Express and Evil Under the Sun are some of my favorites. (But then again, I have a bit of a crush on that fastidious little Belgian detective, Poirot.)

Maybe this is the perfect antidote? I saw The Mousetrap in London 40 years ago. Amazing.

I'm especially fond of the Donna Leon series and the wonderful leading character of Commissario Guido Brunetti. The story is always entertaining but the setting of Venice makes it all the better. A good reminder to just relax and enjoy a good mystery.

She goes a bit wrong when she tries to describe international complots etc, but no-one can beat her plots when it comes to murders in English villages and homes. <br /><br />I love Agatha Christie!<br />have a good weekend and kind regards, Bettina Grissenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024188013121464014noreply@blogger.com
