Oh dear, I missed Agatha Christie’s birthday, which was yesterday (September 15). So here, with my apologies for being late, is Liberty Hardy’s list of references to the Queen of Crime in popular culture (TV, films, and literature).

I absolutely adore the film Knives Out. As soon as Benoit Blanc opened his mouth, I howled, right in the movie theater, much to my daughter’s chagrin. (Even though she’s no longer a teenager, she’s still, once in a while, embarrassed by me). However, I wasn’t the only one laughing. Watch the movie and let me know what you think.

About The Author

Mary Daniels Brown

My mother always insisted that, as soon as I was old enough to sit up, she’d find me in my crib after my nap babbling away, with a Little Golden Book on my lap. I’ve had my nose in a book ever since. I grew up in a small town, with the tiny town library literally in my backyard. As an only child in an unhappy home, I found comfort and companionship in books. As an adult I wanted to be Harry Potter, although I admit I’m more Hermione. My life has been a series of research projects. Reading has taught me that human lives are deliciously messy and that “it’s complicated” isn’t a punchline.

I’m a big Agatha Christie fan from way back. And I was never able to guess the murderer.

  Here’s a big confession from me: I’ve never read a Miss Marple book.
