I like most of the Agatha books I've read, but I haven't read a lot to date.

I'm starting to think that the reason I haven't read her is that I've been exposed to several movies made from her novels already - and can't remember really enjoying a single one of them. Your reaction to her work kind of makes me think that she's just not for me, but I still do want to satisfy my curiosity.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-20202382437988152642021-02-13T12:21:00.209-05:002021-02-13T12:21:00.209-05:00I am an Agatha Christies fan, but I do like her He...I am an Agatha Christies fan, but I do like her Hercule Poirot mysteries better than her Jane Marple ones.
