  1. I've been reading, or more accurately listening to, Autumn Chills by Agatha #Christie.

    I'm surprisingly underwhelmed by it at the halfway point. Finding the solution to the crime is quite predictable and not up to the usual web of complexity so often skillfully weaved by the Queen of Crime.

    Perhaps the brevity of a short story doesn't afford the effort of the puzzle.

  3. I just realized: in the courtroom scenes of “Witness for the Prosecution” (1957, by Agatha #Christie and Billy #Wilder with Marlene #Dietrich), the justices are referred to as “the Queen's justices.” And this queen was The Queen, Elizabeth II!

    For the first time, I recently saw the movie and the current “head” wouldn’t be her anymore, but her son. That’s strange!

  6. Y'all, "spills" used to be put on the mantlepiece in a container simply because you used them to light the fires nightly. Yes, they were useful. Yes, they were on purpose. No, #Christie didn't mess up by having #Poirot notice them!

    And finally, the murderer didn't burn them cos AT THE TIME no fire was burning in the grate. Remember WHEN the note was torn into spills.

    Also, as Poirot said: "there were only five short minutes in which he could have taken it"
