VOK 771 – Agatha Christie Reread 32 – The Body In The Library

Posted on October 21, 2023 by bina007 | Leave a comment

Bina does a quick minipod on what some see as the quintessential Miss Marple mystery published in 1942. A young ballroom dancer is found strangled in St Mary Mead, and Marple must save the reputation of her friend Colonel Bantry. We get an interesting depiction of British class prejudices and the seamier side of seaside life.

Spoiler-free to 20m30s and spoiler-filled thereafter.

VOK 770 – Agatha Christie Reread 31 – N or M?

Posted on October 2, 2023 by bina007 | Leave a comment

Bina does a quick minipod on a rare Tommy and Tuppence thriller. This is a rare Christie novel that is heavily reflective of World War Two, as our middle-aged spies try to uncover Nazi fifth columnists in a British sea-side town.

Spoiler-free to 23m30s and spoiler-filled thereafter.
