Agatha Christe

Now, you see, the Miss Marple books ...

... nice ladies, who are old childhood friends, sit in tea shops, or nice hotels ...

... and figure out who is the killer.

The End.

A bit more happens in the Poirot books.

But those "missing days" from her own life, are probably more interesting than any of Agatha Christie's stories.

Fine, Jayne, but what's your question?

Well, this site is also for discussions.

I view Agatha Christie's novels as a beginners guide to detective fiction, the stories are not hugely complicated and the characters are a bit time warp. Having said that I have enjoyed the TV adaptations of both Miss Marple and Poirot.

I love the theories around her disappearance, yes you are right that is fascinating though I suspect the explanation is a lot more humdrum
