For this week’s burglary-themed #MurderEveryMonday, the best I can do is an #AgathaChristie short story collection featuring 'The Theft of the Royal Ruby' (🇺🇸 title of 'The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding'). My Sue Graftons (incl. 'B is for Burglar') went missing in a move.)

Joan Hickson and Margaret Tyzack’s performances in Miss Marple: Nemesis (1987)

Re. #AgathaChristie #TitlesinTranslation To see my coverage of the #SwingingChristies (Agatha’s 60s’ novels), check out my Instagram: christie_in_translation And you can listen to me discuss those novels with the The Swinging Christies gents wherever you get your podcasts! 💃 💃

For this week’s “indoor lighting” #MurderEveryMonday, I offer this Inspector Alleyn mystery in which the unfortunate victim is killed (in another imaginative Marsh way) by spraying herself with an atomiser filled with “Slaypest” insecticide. She must have been bugging someone! 🤣

For this week’s “sitting at a desk” #MurderEveryMonday, my pick is Charles Osborne’s novel adaptation of #AgathaChristie’s play 'Black Coffee' Donning my #TitlesinTranslation hat, the Spanish title is 'Café solo' (lit. “coffee only”): a strong post-meal/brekky black coffee ☕️

For this week’s #MurderEveryMonday, all “roads” again lead me to #AgathaChristie #TitlesinTranslation The difficulties posed by translating the Hickory Dickory Dock🇬🇧/Death🇺🇸 rhyme result in: 🇪🇸 Murder on Hickory Road 🇸🇪 The House on Hickory Road I love my Tom Adam 🇪🇸 cover!

A film about “Elizabeth of Austria” is the backdrop for #AgathaChristie’s 'The Mirror Crack’d (from Side to Side)' - my submission for this week’s #MurderEveryMonday. Pics 1 & 2: my movie tie-in edition Pic 3: 'Murder in the Mirror' 🇩🇪 Pic 4: 'The Curse of the Mirror' 🇵🇹

For this week’s geographical #MurderEveryMonday challenge, I’ve gone with an #AgathaChristie featuring my beloved Jane Marple. But where *exactly* she deploys her sleuthing skills depends on which language version you’re reading! 🇬🇧/🇺🇸: Caribbean 🇳🇴: West Indies 🇹🇷: Antilles

My 2025 #NFC100 votes. I may have taken a backseat from the wonderful Aussievision this year, but my annual #justiceformirela campaign continues unabated! Do vote for your favourites by the Mon, 27 October deadline and tune into ESCape Radio on Sat, 8 November!

For this week’s “woods/forest on the cover” #MurderEveryMonday, I offer a Colin Dexter case for Morse (which includes woods in the title) and a high body-count Agatha Christie standalone … set in WychWOOD under ASHe (trees galore!). I thought a Parker PYNE might be pushing it!😹

A discarded (but importantly still lit and smoking!) cigarette is my entry for this week’s smoking-themed #MurderEveryMonday. It appears on a recent San Francisco purchase of a #Poirot short story collection. As Hercule might say, there really are “too many clues” on the cover!

For this week’s "real person in crime fiction" #MurderEveryMonday theme, I offer this 1994 tale of legendary actress #BetteDavis joining forces with #AgathaChristie to solve the murder of a neighbour. Davis and Christie - the crime-solving duo we didn’t know we needed!

Two offerings for this week’s bus-themed #MurderEveryMonday! Firstly, the Inspector Morse’s debut, an investigation into a fatal decision NOT to wait for a bus. Secondly, a French-language edition of the tale that sees Miss Marple a bus tour, digging into a past crime. 🚌 🚍👍🏻

For this week’s "The Man …" #MurderEveryMonday challenge, I offer a 101-year-old #AgathaChristie thriller. I always enjoy reading 'The Man in the Brown Suit', and the camp TV movie with "Golden Girl" Rue McClanahan and a very handsome, brown-suited man is a guilty pleasure!
