Kals says...
Nothing really beats a good old Agatha Christie mystery or an Arthur Conan Doyle masterpiece. I've loved Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes all my life and I doubt we'll find a detective surpassing the unexpected genius of Miss Marple, the exemplary 'little grey cells' of the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, and of course, the master himself - Sherlock Holmes.
You will have to read a minimum of 6 books in total: two Miss Marple mysteries, two Sherlock Holmes mysteries and two Hercule Poirot mysteries.
My reading list:
Nemesis
A Murder is Announced
Short Stories collection
Poirot
Murder on the Orient Express - my review
Sad Cypress

A Study in Scarlet

ReplyDeleteI love the extras you've picked =) Hope you enjoy the challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great challenge. I read a lot of Agatha Christie in middle-school, and most of them happened to be Hercule Poirot mysteries. Oddly enough, never read the Murder on the Orient Express, as classic as it is.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to do this challenge! It's been years since I've read anything by these authors. I can't wait for the Murder Mystery in May! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes -- love it! Looking forward to the dinner, too.
