Amurder Mark

Discussing the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, unicycling, juggling, backgammon, sudoku, and crowd photos I'm in, but mostly the first topic. Cozy, old-fashioned amurder. Lots and lots of amurder.

My side project is reading the Harry Potter books in Norwegian. (Yeah, let's avoid "elefanten i rommet.") I'm on No. 4.

I have never read them in English, so my wife, who has, is hearing all about Harry and his best friends, Ronny Wiltersen and Hermine Grang, and their schooling at Galtvort.

OK, the break is over and I'm back to reading murder mysteries. Libby app roulette¹ (tag all the #AgathaChristie books and read what is "available now") has given me "Death in the Clouds."

I'm taking a break from the murder mysteries, and I'm currently reading #Ibsen's "The Master Builder," and now I wish he had written a murder mystery. Or maybe he did? Who really killed #HeddaGabler?

I'm playing Libby app roulette, and next is "The ABC Murders," which I believe is a "Sesame Street" crossover, so it should be interesting. I'm ruling out The Count (it's not "The 123 Murders," duh). But Mr. Snuffleupagus is a big mystery. Imaginary? Real? Murderer? Makes you wonder.

Finished "The Clocks."

Don't waste your time.

Ha! See what I did there? But seriously, my review:

Intriguing. Intriguing. Hmm, OK, weird. Intriguing. Yay, finally, Poirot! Intriguing. No way. Intriguing. Intriguing. Really? That's it? But what about that? Huh? Whatevs. Next book!

Mrs. Curtin of "The Clocks" is a yes on Brexit.

Sorry, Inspector Hardcastle, but let's get into politics. What are some of the varied viewpoints expressed by AC characters?
