Tis a hefty tome and should be interesting ahem. £1.

It is, as we say in the trade, a chunky mother

Bought from Asda today. I've never read any Christie.

Living in Torquay, it is mandatory that everyone reads Agatha Christie under pain of jail or death if you don't!

I've got 'Ten Little Niggers', which is now probably impossible to get under that title. If you get it new, it's published as '...And Then There Were None'

Either way, it's a cracking read and highly recommended

SPOILER:

The butler did it... or did he???

Enjoyed all the adaptations of Ten Little Indians - my favourite being the 1965 film recently released by Network, the BBC adaptation from a few years ago and also the US film Mindhunters.

The 1945 version by Rene Clair is my favourite

A good thing too. No one needs to see that racial epithet when browsing a bookshop.

I thought Sarah Phelps' adaptation for BBC with Charles Dance, Anna Maxwell Martin, Sally, Miranda Richardson, Noah Taylor, and Toby Stephens was brilliant.

I don't think I've seen any other version, but have ordered the Mindhunters DVD and three Blu-ray discs (Husk, The Way Back, and Kajaki) from the Music Magpie 4 for £8 selection.

The Way Back is excellent. Bet it looks awesome on Blu.

Mindhunters is great. Especially if you are in the mood for an action slasher film.

I've seen The Way Back before, though not since I rented it about a decade ago.

No love for the 1974 version then...
