What do You think about Christietown (2007)?
Wasn't really expecting to like this book much. We were leaving on a trip and I grabbed it to read on the flight. Turns out it was a real page-turner.It is definitely a light read but very good plot and character definition.I was amused about the Agatha Christie theme because the next book I started after this (totally on a different tack) also started out with a nod to Agatha. She's obviously enjoying a resurgence of interest in her personal life and how it affected her writing. Being a fan of hers it made for aan interest in rereading some of her books to see how the two were related.Anyway, anyone who wants a light mystery read (not getting too bogged down in intricate details) will enjoy this book.

I read this on the bus to and from the Supreme Court yesterday, and what I can say is that it's perfect travel reading: a light, fun mystery from one of my favorite mystery authors. Susan Kandel writes well about vintage clothing while delighting with tales about the lives of mystery authors. This one focused on Agatha Christie, and was great fun for me as I have loved Christie's mysteries since I was a young girl and read an old copy of Ten Little Indians (aka And Then There Were None). I'd recommend it to any who love mysteries, vintage fashion, or just need a fun little read that won't ask too much out of you.
