Agatha Christie

The New Yorker has a piece on the "creator of the modern murder mystery" in the August 16 number. Nothing new but an entertaining read if you are a mystery fan, as is your servant. You can find it here I think. But it may be behind a subscription wall. There's an "abstract" - that's what they call it - here. Not sure it's worth a trip to the library for the back issue if you can't get the internet version to co-operate. But it might be if you've enough interest in Dame Agatha. A copy of the Snowdon portrait photograph is included.
