When we laid out International Agatha Christie, I wanted it to be as complete as possible and to be a reference for scholars as well as general readers. Thus, we compiled as complete a bibliography listing books discussing Agatha and her works as we could. I know that it’s not complete. I didn’t even begin […]
I’m really thrilled to see this. Kemper Donovan, the host of the All About Agatha podcast, hosted a panel in which Agatha movie and TV adaptations battled it out for the title of Best of All. The event has been released as a podcast episode. Admittedly, I was a bit worried about how Teresa would […]
Recently, Teresa appeared on the “All About Agatha” podcast, where she and host Kemper Donovan talked about Christie movie adaptations. But it wasn’t just a conversation about “Agatha Christie, She Watched.” Kemper decided to go down the list of Poirot and Miss Marple movies and choose the best and worst for each portrayer: Peter Ustinov […]

Agatha Christie seems to be undergoing a mini-revival of sorts. Last year, we had Kenneth Branaugh’s all-star version of “Murder on the Orient Express” (in my top 2 of OE movies, vying neck-and-neck with David Suchet’s). We saw this in the theater, because that’s the best way to tell Hollywood to bring us more movies […]
