I am baffled by why I didn’t try Agatha Christie sooner. I guess I falsely assumed she might be like some other English mystery authors like P.D. James (an undoubtedly beautiful writer but plots much too slow for my taste and not enough balance of description and action). I also prefer semi-contemporary and contemporary authors so maybe I was discounting her? But I just read *Murder on the Orient Express* and I’m now a huge fan and can’t believe how long I waited to read her. She was an amazing writer—great dialogue, sense of humor, sets the mood and describes the setting SO well.
The whole point of this post is that now all I want to do is curl up in bed for like a week and read a giant anthology of her books. I’ve already got *And Then There Were None* on my TBR list but if anyone feels passionately about any of her books or has ideas for which ones I should read next, please drop them 🙂
