A lot of Marples in the replies- interesting! Get involved, let us know!! 💃🏻📚
Here's a new one... Which is the #AgathaChristie you've read the MOST? Not your favourite necessarily, but the one you reckon you've picked up the most times. Gray's, unsurprisingly, is a 60s one - #TheMirrorCrackdfromSidetoSide! What's yours?

And a Happy Canon Pennyfather Day to all of you at home! 💃🏻🎉
Half-way into the latest @christietime.bsky.social on a chilly walk, and Canon Pennyfather has turned up! Or, rather, his disappearance has, if you see what I mean
OTD 1965: Canon Pennyfather goes missing / The Irish Mail Train is robbed
…but surely these two events couldn’t be connected?
In Miss Marple – At Bertram’s Hotel
Today would also have been William Russell’s 101st birthday, so I can’t help but exclaim,
London! 1965!
