Mathew's Blog
My grandmother, of course, had no experience of blogs, but I think she might well have approved of them because they provide a great opportunity for listening. She was herself, without exception, the best listener I have ever known – one of the reasons maybe why she was able to write so many excellent books.

In the meantime, happy blogging!

The Works of Agatha Christie R.I.P. by William_Friend

Irrelevant. Dated. Dead.
These are just a few adjectives which the following article is going to apply to the works of Agatha Christie. It may make your blood boil temporarily – but hopefully you’re enough of a fan to be so wholly scandalised that anyone has the audacity to write this, you will continue to read long enough for the article to explain itself. In 1920 ‘The Mysterious Affair at Styles’ was published and the crime genre was never the same again. With the effortless introduction of hallmarks we now refer to as ‘clichés’ and the addition to British ...
