The Thirteen Problems

 


(The cover on mums copy, borrowed from elsewhere, with its blue geranium..)



It is usually Aidan who writes reviews of crime novels. However, I was recently reading one of the early Agatha Christies, so I thought I would share my thoughts on. The Thirteen Problems pitch together a collection of short stories that Agatha Christie had written about a character named Jane Marple in the latter half of the 1920s. In the collection, a dinner party tell each other unsolved mysteries, usually involving a murder, while the rest of the party try and work out who done it. To their bafflement, the unassuming little old lady who sits in the corner works out each solution correctly. Even those that baffled the greatest minds in the crime fighting industry.

That Doctor Who Thing (Week 4)

So, Week Four of that Doctor Who thing already.

What's that, you say? What happened to Week Three? Well, I'm glad you asked me that, that's a very important question, and....

OH LOOK! TURTLE FENCE!

I think that explains everything.
