I've read my share of Agatha Christie's books, and "Agatha Christie teaching writing" makes me cringe. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/agatha-christie-writing-course-ai-bbc-maestro-1236204003/
I checked the price: $89.

My current #worlde streak is now 257. highest was 301; I forgot to do it one busy day!
My kindle reading streak is 76 weeks in a row and 313 days in a row.
I've just started reading At Bertram's Hotel by #AgathaChristie
My current physical book is Black Holes by Brian Cox & Jeff Forshaw.
The chapters introducing Penrose Diagrams, worldlines and light cones are fascinating
Avoid this problem when writing a mystery
I’ve been discovering the TV series Severance. It’s intriguing, enigmatic and compelling, but I have one big anxiety. Will it play fair with all these mysteries? What do I mean by that? Let’s consider what we enjoy in a mystery. It’s the questions. But that’s because we…

"Fabulous song aside, Gumnaam (Anonymous) is built on very secure footing: it’s an adaptation of the stage play version of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None....Even if you know the book or the play inside out, Gumnaam still has some tricks up its sleeves.

I am listening to Agatha Christie's "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd", and I cannot help but laugh at the mahjong game played in chapter 16. Apart from the subject of murder, it is so very similar to the conversations interspersed with mahjong terms that I have when I play the game casually with friends or family

East Wind passed, and we started a new hand in silence.
“What I was going to tell you just now was this,” said Caroline.
“Yes?” said Miss Ganett encouragingly.
“My idea about Ralph Paton, I mean.”
“Yes, dear,” said Miss Ganett, still more encouragingly. “Chow!”
“It’s a sign of weakness to Chow so early,” said Caroline severely. “You should go for a big hand.”
“I know,” said Miss Ganett. “You were saying—about Ralph Paton, you know?”
“Yes. Well, I’ve a pretty shrewd idea where he is.”
We all stopped to stare at her.
“This is very interesting, Miss Caroline,” said Colonel Carter. “All your own idea, eh?”
“Well, not exactly. I’ll tell you about it. You know that big map of the county we have in the hall?”
We all said Yes.
“As M. Poirot was going out the other day, he stopped and looked at it, and he made some remark—I can’t remember exactly what it was. Something about Cranchester being the only big town anywhere near us—which is true, of course. But after he had gone—it came to me suddenly.”
“What came to you?”
“His meaning. Of course Ralph is in Cranchester.”
It was at that moment that I knocked down the rack that held my pieces. My sister immediately reproved me for clumsiness, but half-heartedly. She was intent on her theory.
“Cranchester, Miss Caroline?” said Colonel Carter. “Surely not Cranchester! It’s so near.”
“That’s exactly it,” cried Caroline triumphantly. “It seems quite clear by now that he didn’t get away from198 here by train. He must simply have walked into Cranchester. And I believe he’s there still. No one would dream of his being so near at hand.”
I pointed out several objections to the theory, but when once Caroline has got something firmly into her head, nothing dislodges it.
“And you think M. Poirot has the same idea,” said Miss Ganett thoughtfully. “It’s a curious coincidence, but I was out for a walk this afternoon on the Cranchester road, and he passed me in a car coming from that direction.”
We all looked at each other.
“Why, dear me,” said Miss Ganett suddenly, “I’m Mah Jong all the time, and I never noticed it.”
Caroline’s attention was distracted from her own inventive exercises. She pointed out to Miss Ganett that a hand consisting of mixed suits and too many Chows was hardly worth going Mah Jong on. Miss Ganett listened imperturbably and collected her counters.
“Yes, dear, I know what you mean,” she said. “But it rather depends on what kind of a hand you have to start with, doesn’t it?”
“You’ll never get the big hands if you don’t go for them,” urged Caroline.

I’m sure I must have read Christie’s The Mysterious Affair at Styles at some point, but reading it now I don’t remember a thing. I’m pretty sure I would remember being annoyed by Hastings. I just finished reading another book by her narrated by the murderer, and I would much rather chat over lunch with that person than I would with Hastings. Was he really this stupid and delusional about his own deductive powers? #AgathaChristie #mystery

Parliamo del paese che ha generato e partecipato a più conflitti nel mondo di TUTTI dal dopo guerra: in corea, vietnam, golfo, afganistan, siria, libia, somalia, etc etc...
Senza contare la #bombanucleare su #Hiroshima nel 45' che è la ciliegina sulla torta
Questi sono gli Stati Uniti d'America, inutile illuderci, purtroppo
C'è ben poco da aggiungere se non che:
