As well as writing a damned fine crime novel that rattles along at speed, Agatha Christie has a knack for writing stuff like this.

Frequently.

There's a lot more chuckles in the Marple books than I remember when I read them over *checks notes* 30 years ago.

I love this new cover for #agathachristie 'Third Girl' (1966), illustrated by Stephen Millership - it both invites curiosity & evokes the 60s through its architecture really well. #coverart #bookcover

We had such a great time recording on... well, a much smaller island than usual, namely Burgh, on a blustery atmospheric day fit for a murder! Listen to the new episode of the #SwingingChristies here all about Agatha Christie in her beloved Devon in the 1960s: pod.fo/e/3855e3

Why not listen back to our Muriel Spark special on what would have been her birthday? Born OTD in 1918. Agatha Christie was a fan- so should you be!! > pod.fo/e/2a782a

Loved the latest All About Agatha. Even more thrilling than my shoutout is a shoutout to the under-appreciated character of Julia Upjohn in #CatAmongthePigeons (1959)! - Gray podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Great to see the Westmacotts getting their 💐! You have until 12 May to read or reread #AbsentintheSpring, when we cover it on #Westmapod!

Sunday book pick: No crime is committed in Agatha Christie’s 1944 novel, ‘Absent in the Spring’
Written under the alias Mary Westmacott, Christie described it as ‘the one book that has satisfied me completely – the book I always wanted to write.’

#AgathaChristie #MaryWestmacott
Just finished reading my first Westmacott (actually feeling a bit raw and wrecked by that ending), and a) I can’t wait to read more, b) I can’t wait to hear the new pod from @christietime.com @markaldridge.info and c) why aren’t there adaptations of Westmacott? (Or are there, and I’m just clueless?)
