ReplyDeleteMy husband is a huge Agatha Christie fan, so we have been watching the ABC Murders. I bet he would like the book. And I know my sister-in-law would. I need to see if I can pick up a few copies for them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week!
Enjoy all your books! I love Agatha Christie, but wasn't a fan of the Amazon tv show. I usually don't mind tie-in covers, but that one might bother me.

I love Agatha Christie books and I've read them all. I have seen some on PBS which was fun. I just read a Peter Swanson book and I liked it. So now I notice all his books. They seem to be standalones rather than series. Happy reading! Anne - Books of My Heart
