Margaret Rutherford and Stringer Davis didn't marry until after his mother died; she objected to him wedding the older actress. Rutherford was 53 and Davis was 46 when they tied the knot in 1945. They remained married until Rutherford's death in 1972.
Rutherford is best known as Agatha Christie's Miss Marple in a series of films in the 1960s. Davis appeared with her as her librarian-helper Mr. Stringer.

I'm watching #AgathaChristie's Tommy & Tuppence 2025 #TV series starring Josh Dylan and Antonia Thomas. I've previously watched 1983's Partners in Crime with James Warwick and Francesca Annis, and 2015's Partners in Crime starring David Walliams and Jessica Raine. I think Walliams is the best Tommy, and Annis the best Tuppence.
The 1983 version set the stories in the 1920s, as written, and I liked the actors, who managed light adventure with humor. The 2015 stories moved the stories to the 1950s, and the actors were in a darker story. The 2025 series seems to strike a middling tone, and puts the stories in upscale modern London.
It's that last that I'm not crazy about. You can move the story from after the Great War to after the Second World War, and still get a similar tone, but that seems lost in the modern remake, and I find I don't enjoy it as much. #television

#MurderEveryMonday “Clue” in the title
Today’s #MurderEveryMonday is a crime fiction book with the word “clue” in the title.
Agatha Christie’s The Double Clue was my first thought. In this short story, Poirot is called by a collector/seller of antiques to investigate a necklace robbery. It’s also the first appearance of the Countess Vera Rossakoff, that has a somehow special relation with Poirot.
The story, as so many others, was published first in a magazine in the 1920s as it was custom. It appeared collected in book form in the 1970s in the UK as Poirot’s Early Cases. In Portugal, this edition is titled as Wasps’ Nest (Ninho de Vespas), a title of one of the stories.
My second thought was The Clue of the New Pin by Edgar Wallace (translated as A Pista do Alfinete Novo). While looking for this titles, I found The Clue of the Twisted Candle also by Wallace. I don’t remember reading this one, it seems the main character is a successful mysteries writer, so now I got curious!
Edgar Wallace’s works are already in Public Domain, so you can read/download both stories from Standard Ebooks below:

I've just reserved the new Miss Marple from the library, Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel by Lucy Foley. I've been disappointed by some books that take a dead author's characters, but have read a couple of crackers recently so am going to give this one a whirl. I can also recommend Longbourn by Jo Baker, P&P below stairs and really well done, and The Golden Hours by Louisa Young, EJH's niece and a continuation of their own family history, The Cazalet Chronicles #books #bookstodon #AgathaChristie
I was asked to write a new Miss Marple, so I sent her to the Alps
By Lucy Foley
Her last case was 50 years ago, written by Agatha Christie just before she died. Could I really follow in the footsteps of the Queen of Crime?

Definitely an older book week for me, having just finished re-reading Agatha Christie's first mystery novel, 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles'.
Enjoyable despite having read it previously - apparently 13 years is enough for me to have forgotten most of the key plot points, and as a mystery it was satisfying, though possibly there could have been a few less red herrings. Hell of a debut, in any case.

New book releases I’m keeping my eyes on
On the 29th of September, we will have The Classic Crime Companion by Martin Edwards. This is not a totally new book, but it adds more than 20 titles to a previous edition, so it’s quite exciting. I wrote about the older edition here, if you are curious about it. I love this title and I’m always picking it up from the shelf. It is also a book you can read to know about the history of the genre, but also to check the entry of the book you’re reading or to choose your next read.
Kate Jackson, from Cross Examining Crime, has a new book, The Golden Age of Classic Crime Quiz Book, to be published on 20th of October 2026. Jackson has an extensive amount of knowledge about the genre, as her blog is proof of, so besides the questions, puzzles, and mysteries, I’m sure you will also discover new to you authors and titles. Her previous book, How to survive a classic crime novel, was one of my favorite readings from 2023, so you can’t go wrong with her books and I’m really excited about this new one. She also has a Patreon, if you want to join.
From 30th of October 2026 to 20th of June 2027, The British Library will have a major exhibition on about Agatha Christie and will publish Agatha Christie: A World of Mystery when the exhibition opens. The book is edited by Martin Edwards and Lucy Rowland and besides objects related to Christie, it also includes essays by Martin Edwards, John Curran, Mark Aldridge, Caroline Crampton, David Suchet, Zoë Wanamaker, and many others. The book is already available for pre-order, but it is quite expensive for my budget (more than 50€). There is no indication of a paperback edition, so I probably will have to wait some years to get it second hand. If you can afford it, I’m sure it will be a wonderful book.
In January 2027, we will have Writing Partners, a new book from the collection Bodies from the Library and it is introduced and contextualised by John Curran. This volume, inspired by Agatha Christie’s Partners in Crime (I know they’re not so well known characters, but I do love Tommy & Tuppence), features short stories from forgotten authors. This collection has six volumes and two extra ones edited by Tony Medawar and publishes short stories or novellas that either were never published before or were only published in magazines. It is a favorite collection of mine.
In February 2027, The Swinging Christies by Mark Aldridge and Gray Robert Brown will be released. The book goes through Agatha Christie novels and life during the 1960s and its cultural and historical context. This book comes from The Swinging Christies’ podcast started by the same authors two years ago, and which you can subscribe. Aldridge is a researcher and he published previously Poirot: The Greatest Detective in the World and Marple: Expert on Wickedness, which I loved and can’t recommend enough.
Last, but not least, we will have in 2028 a new book by the members of The Detection Club: The Detection Club Murders. Not much information yet, but you can read about it at the Club’s President, Martin Edwards, blog here. I love the experimentation and creativity from the Club’s books and as you probably know I even keep a page on this blog with a list of the published titles, so of course I’m very excited with this new book!
