#Poirot

Calling all those who signed up for the Baa Baa Brighouse Agatha Christie Book Club - Murder On The Orient Express - it's time for the big reveal!

Introducing 'Murder On The Orient Express', a 100g skein of hand dyed Aran Tweed Wool. There are two skeins in each box.

Included in the box is a copy of the HarperCollins hardback edition of the book, a postcard, a pin badge and a bookmark.

Boxes are already on their way. Happy knitting!

My #Poirot marathon, where I’ve read all Poirot novels and short stories in chronological order, is nearing its end. In the latest book I’ve finished (Hallowe'en Party) Poirot accepted a glass of shandy (‘ginger beer and beer’) from a limited offering. Never tasted it so I’ve got to give it a try…

I’ve immersed myself in British TV mysteries lately as a diverting relief to <waves hand> all this. #Poirot, Father Brown, Midsomer Murders, #MissFisher (British-adjacent). But #FoylesWar is my favorite. I love the period and Michael Kitchen’s poignant performance (with an amazing supporting cast).

Most I watch on the local PBS stations

@CStamp ok, ending with Cpt. Hastings cosplay...

Did you know that a lot of screenplays for #ITV #Poirot were written by Anthony #Horowitz? Later on he wrote Moonflower Murders, a novel in a novel, which features a character named Atticus Pund, whom it is impossible not to "read" as Hercules Poirot.

Actually, everything by Horowitz is a banger after banger.
