{also published as Dead Man's Mirror}
(I wonder how it is chosen which short story or novella after which the collection will be named.)
So, dear Agatha, guess what?!
A local theater here is doing And Then There Were None at the end of April. I am honestly just as excited about seeing it as I am about seeing P!nk in May! Robert and I are going with Joshua, his girlfriend Nyx, and Christianne. We just got the tickets last week.
And then I looked at my reading plan and saw that ATTWN is only about 5 books out! If I book it (haha, pun intended), then I can have it read before we see the play. Apparently I've not read it! Even Josh has read it, for some reason. I have played the PC game, though!
The only dilemma is that I'd just begun Lord of the Rings (to read "with" Josh, although he's way ahead of me), and I have 3 "optional" books to read before the conference I'm attending in mid-April, less than a month away. Oh yeah, and it's tax season. And the house is falling apart. And I could really use one of those nurse/nanny types that you always had to help with your ONE child (remember I have FOUR)... but I digress.
Enjoyed every one of these 4 shorts and I couldn't even pick a favorite. Learned a few new words along the way - mews (wasn't what a I thought it was), gasper, saloon car, baronet, and more. I enjoyed seeing familiar friends - Sattherthwaite and Japp. And I loved that the twisted endings - probably "Triangle at Rhodes" caught me most.
Thank you again, Dame Agatha.
Love,
me
