Friday DE: Enable

[bjornwilde]

It's Friday! \o/

Spinning out if yesterday's topic, let's enable each other. Are there plots you've been thinking of? Adventure OOMs you're contemplating that might be fun for other pups? Pups you have in your back pocket? Pups you think really need to come to Milliways? Well, now is your chance to speak. The floor is yours.

I've never read any of the books with her, so far. But on TV, she brings something different after years of Poirot and Hastings. I like Hastings but he's such a dullard intellectually speaking and Ariadne is anything but.

I agree, I love how sure she is in what she knows and how honest she is about her writing process.

For the books, she's only in I think four of them. I recommend starting with Cards on the Table then Dead Man's Folly. She's in others but those are the two best that I'm always rereading. Halloween Party is another strong one, I mean they're Christie, so they're all great. Oh and in my opinion the Cards on the Table movie with Suchet truly doesn't do justice to the story, they added in some uncomfortable plot choices.

Yeah, that one is really a bit iffy. Though it does at least give me room to argue that given his era, Poirot is not as raging a homophobe as many.

The adaptations of Dead Man's Folly and Mrs McGinty's Dead are stronger.

But yes, I need to read more of the books. Or listen to more of the audiobooks that Hugh Fraser or David Suchet recorded. (Fraser does a surprisingly good Poirot.)
