No, I’m not trying to scare you! Haha •

In 2006, an Agatha Christie fan took part at an auction of the author’s property. The fan purchased a trunk for 100 pounds. In the trunk was a sealed strongbox, still locked. 4 years passed until the new owner of… the box could open it (with a crowbar from a contractor doing renovations on the fan’s house), Upon opening the box, she discovered a diamond buckle brooch, gold coins and a three stone diamond ring! This is the buckle brooch that was re-sold at a Bonhams auction.

Defaatle okuduğum romanlarında bile şaşırtmayı, ‘ama burası da ne kadar güzelmiş!’ dedirtmeyi başaran kadının yaz mevsiminde, bir adada geçen kitaplarından; Ölüm Oyunu. #evdekalagathaoku #agathachristie #gecekütüphanesi #night #tea

‘Yüzü birden değişti… Bakışları ciddileşti. İris’in başucundaki küçük vazoda duran, açık leylâk renkli, gri yeşil yapraklı küçük çiçeklere dokundu.
-Bu mevsimde çiçek açar mı bu? dedi usulca.’

A few weeks ago @elleryadamsofficial posted a six books stack challenge, featuring six titles with women’s names. I forgot how many we were supposed to use and ended up featuring eight books, a quote from Lady Mary Crawley, an adorable card from my Tia, and English Breakfast Tea featuring Alice from Alice Adventures in Wonderland.

I’ll be tagging six people, but the challenge is open to all. If you do it, please tag me so I can see your stack.

Have you read any of these books? And if so, which one is your favorite?

Tune in to NBC’s Today Show tomorrow to watch #TheWitnessfortheProsecution star #KimCattrall co-host!

Sidney Lumet’s 1974 Murder On the Orient Express is one of those movies that ought to be more interesting than it turned out to be. Albert Finney plays Hercule Poirot, a character I grew up watching as played by David Suchet in the British Acorn-produced series. Finney plays Poirot as a nice but unintelligible gentleman who seems just as likely to be a pickpocket villain as he does a quirky detective-hero. His legendary primness is a slobbish, greasy primness, not the gentle and coiffed kind that Suchet so perfectly became. The only redeeming qualities of the film come in the form of the art direction and cinematography, although the interiors are shot as too saturated by half. A more natural quality, matching the beautiful exterior shots, would have elevated the film. It’s far too “glowy” in its attempt to become the 1920s.
.
Sean Connery stands out in his modest role, but the rest of the stellar cast do not shine very much at all, despite a who’s who of 1940s-1970s stars. I cannot agree with Ebert that Finney is good here - he dooms the whole film with a flurry of strange gibberish, slipping in and out of an accent and leaving his fellow cast members in limbo. Poirot is the central pin of this story - he illumines the mystery by making sense of all the odd characters and putting them all in their proper place. Suchet’s accent may ultimately be only “fake French for film" but he stays inside it perfectly, and that adaptation of “Express” gives Poirot a moral center and even drives him to question it as he is caught between two senses of justice. Watch that one for great drama, then give this one a peek for the pretty scenery.
.
The result of Lumet’s film is a long series of interviews that seem of no consequence - there is precious little humor (the 70s were awful for intentionsl humor), and little to none of the wit of Suchet.
.
Branagh’s 2017 version has exactly the same issues as Lumet’s - except here, Branagh’s Poirot is a ripoff of Suchet’s performance. Some of the big name cast fit better than others. Johnny Depp, for one reason or another, is the standout in the film.
