The stories were originally published in magazines in England the 1920′s. Each one of the stories is subtle detective work for Mr. Satterthwaite. Not a lot [...] Those of you who read my blog regularly know that I am attempting to read all of Agatha Christie’s published works in order of their publication date. Up to this point I’ve managed to plow right through books published up to 1934. I’ve read a total of 16. While doing some research on Three Act [...] I’ve been reading Agatha Christie’s books in publication order. This is the 17th book and one of the few that does not feature one of her famous detectives. There is no Hercule Poirot, no Miss Marple, nor Tommy and Tuppence. In Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? Ms. Christie introduced Bobby Jones and Lady Frances or [...] by Agatha Christie Dodd, Mead and Company, 1934 My Rating: A+ Back in the 1970s the movie version of Murder On the Orient Express was a smash hit.
