Short Stories
Marple on her game in ‘Tuesday Club Murders’ (1932)
Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): Christie successfully breaks the “show, don’t tell” rule. Miss Marple engagingly solves mysteries from her armchair.
‘Firefly: Watch How I Soar’ a flighty nod to Wash
Comic book review: I don’t know if we needed a second Wash tribute (after “Float Out”). Then again, I’m not gonna say no to a second Wash tribute.
‘Poirot Investigates’ (1924), in fewer words this time
Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): Compared to Christie’s novels, I’m not as big of a fan of the shorts. But it’s a collection of Poirots, so I won’t complain.
