I am an Agatha Christie aficionado. Rather an afficianado of the characters she has created. I haven't read up much about her life per se but somehow I pictured her to be a bit like the wax statue of Miss Marple I'd seen in Madam Tussaud's years ago. The back cover of her books proved...

Book Review- Fowl Language
