Agatha.....I admire you!
Looked into an old paperback of Agatha Christie this weekend.....
How did she do it? A character pops up in her story and immediately I see him (or her) standing there, alive - and I think: I know somebody like that! The playboy who only fancies himself, the fat woman who bullies everybody, the shy esoteric spinster, they're all around us!
Even today her plots are still outstanding - her books so entertaining, decades after they have been written! Stunning!

A new Year - A new Book
Wish all of you a Happy New Year!
Time to look back - and to be looking forward!
I'll be finishing soon my new book 'A Cruise of a Lifetime' - no history this time....a bit of crime and alot of humour in the best tradition of Agatha Chrsitie (Agatha, please forgive me :)
cheers,
