  • Episode 14: Mother’S Day Reads
    Not Your Mother’s Library Transcript Episode 14: Mother’s Day Reads (Brief intro music) Leah: Hello, and welcome to Not Your Mother’s Library, a readers’ advisory podcast from the Oak Creek Public Library. I’m Leah, one of your hosts. Rachel is also virtually here. This month, guys…this month we need to tweak the title a little bit, because we’re celebrating Mother’s Day! This episode will be all about our mothers’ favorite books, which means that for Rachel and I, this is our mother’s library. Rachel: Hi, everyone. It’s Rachel. As Leah pointed out, we are here to celebrate Mother’s Day. This year, the national holiday takes place on Sunday, May 10th, so be sure to create an artistic portrait out of noodles before that date hits. You know what else makes a great gift? Books! My mum is a mystery enthusiast. Give her a murder to solve, and she’ll be at her most content. She is actually in the process of writing her own series of cozies. For those who aren’t as familiar with what that means, cozies are a mystery subgenre. They focus more on the story, setting, and characters surrounding a whodunit than an in-depth criminal procedure or graphic depictions of violence. Think of M.C. Beaton’s “Agatha Raisin” or the TV show “Murder, She Wrote.” I’ve read the first few novels in mum’s series, which are currently on the road to publication, and they are flat-out really good. I realize that as her daughter I am partial, but I also used to be a copyeditor and have read some genuinely awful manuscripts, so I’m betting that experience balances out my bias.

  • Agatha Christie - Third Girl
    Agatha Christie - Third Girl CHAPTER ONE HERCULE POIROT was sitting at the breakfast table. At his right hand was a steaming cup of chocolate. He had always had a sweet tooth. To accompany the chocolate was a brioche. It went agreeably with chocolate. He nodded his approval. This was from the fourth shop he had tried. It was a Danish patisserie but infinitely superior to the so-called French one near by. That had been nothing less than a fraud. He was satisfied gastronomically. His stomach was at peace. His mind also was at peace, perhaps somewhat too much so. He had finished his Magnum Opus, an analysis of great writers of detective fiction. He had dared to speak scathingly of Edgar Alien Poe, he had complained of the lack of method or order in the romantic outpourings of Wilkie Collins, had lauded to the skies two American authors who were practically unknown, and had in various other ways given honour where honour was due and sternly withheld it where he considered it was not. He had seen the volume through the press, had looked upon the results and, apart from a really incredible number of printer's errors, pronounced that it was good. He had enjoyed this literary achievement and enjoyed the vast amount of reading he had had to do, had enjoyed snorting with disgust as he flung a book across the floor (though always remembering to rise, pick it up and dispose of it tidily in the waste-paper basket) and had enjoyed appreciatively nodding his head on the rare occasions when such approval was justified.

It is related to the murder. Daily Mirror. Poor Louise: recipient of some very nasty notes and some very nasty looks and, worst of all, a very nasty blow to the head. Kaye mystery. But whoever could kill such a fascinating woman? Photo Gallery. Leidner was something out of the ordinary in that line. Here is a photo of her at a dig at Nippur: As such it is not surprising that we find a murder mystery occurring near a dig somewhere in Iraq. Then she is killed sorry for that smallish spoiler and Poirot just happens to be passing through to lend a hand with the investigation, with the assistance of Nurse Amy Leidner, with her storied speculations veering of course into fiction. Murder in Mesopotamia is an enjoyable between the world wars "closed room" mystery that Agatha Christie does so well. The other thread I did go some way to unravel.

  • Lady Mallowan, Obe Professor Dj Wiseman, Obe, D.Lit
    LADY MALLOW AN PROFESSOR D. J. WISEMAN LADY MALLOWAN, O.B.E. PROFESSOR D.J. WISEMAN, O.B.E., D.LIT., F.B.A. 1988 has seen two birthdays. Lady Mallowan, our President, has completed her eightieth, and our Chairman, Professor Wiseman, his seventieth year. Both have served the School tirelessly in various capacities for forty of its fifty-six years, a record that only Sir Max Mallowan surpassed. Barbara Parker, as she then was, became the first Secretary/Librarian and, as such, the first and only resident officer of the School in Baghdad for twelve years. Her first instruction from the Director, Max Mallowan, was to go and build a dig house at Nimrud, which he had chosen as the School's main site for excavation. She built the house and maintained it in good order for many years to come, a home to which those who worked at Nimrud look back with fond, if sometimes fantastic, memories. Barbara worked at Nimrud both as a photographer and an epigraphist, taking also an especial interest in the seals. Her photographs, taken and developed under primitive conditions, provided excellent illustrations for Mallowan's Nimrud reports, including Nimrud and its Remains. As an Assyriologist she has published a considerable series of economic texts, illuminating their interpretation by her own knowledge of modern rural society and economy which, until the onset of mechanisation, had changed little in four thousand years. In the 1950's Barbara's main contribution to the School's, as opposed to the Nimrud expedition's, welfare was her inimitable running of our house in Baghdad.

    FREE POIROT: THE HOLLOW PDF Agatha Christie | 240 pages | 22 Sep 2008 | HarperCollins Publishers | 9780007121021 | English | London, United Kingdom Investigating Agatha Christie's Poirot: Episode-by-episode: The Hollow Lucy Angkatell invited Hercule Poirot to lunch. To tease the great detective, her guests stage a mock murder beside the swimming pool. Unfortunately, the victim plays the scene for real. In the confusion, a gun sinks to the bottom of the pool. It seems everyone in the drama is a suspect — and each a victim of love. Suddenly, with Poirot: The Hollow terrific shock, with that feeling as of blurring on a cinematograph screen before the picture comes to focus, Hercule Poirot realised that this artificially set scene had a point of reality. First published as a novel in the US in by Dodd, Mead and Company, The Hollow remains an example of classic Christie: a gathering of guests at a country house is disturbed by a sudden death and luckily Poirot is in attendance. The main players include a downtrodden wife, her successful husband, and the reappearance of an old Poirot: The Hollow. It was originally published in the US as Murder after Hours. So the play was adapted, Poirot ousted, and it was produced in under the same title, The Hollow. It was adapted for TV in and starred David Suchet. Some changes were made to the Poirot: The Hollow, but overall it remained fairly true to the novel. Skip to main navigation Skip to content. Home Stories The Hollow. The Hollow Buy.

  • Black Coffee Character Breakdown
    Black Coffee Character Breakdown All characters (except those noted below) Speak with an educated British accent. Think Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs, Colin Firth, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith and Emma Thompson for examples. Dr. Carelli-speaks with an Italian accent that does not have to be that authentic. Inspector Japp is decidedly working class. His accent is more rough, less polished. Think the servants of Downton Abbey or the Northerners of Game of Thrones. Think more Michael Caine, Bob Hoskins, Catherine Tate, and Sean Bean for examples. Miss Treadwell (female, late 20’s-60’s) She is the faithful servant, but at the same time knows all “the dirty laundry” of her employers. Sir Claud Amory (male, 50’s plus) He is the irascible Lord of the manor, who has no affection for his relatives and is devoted solely to his scientific discoveries. Caroline Amory (female, 50’s plus) Claud’s dotty younger, maiden sister who never stops talking. She is very conservative, innocent, and prone to not quite getting the full picture of what goes on around her. She has no idea that half of what she says is funny and often inappropriate. Richard Amory (male, early 30’s-mid 40’s) He is the only son of Claud Amory. He’d rather pursue a military career then be under his father’s thumb. He’s not stupid, but he’s not the scientific genius that his father is. Newly married, he is very much in love with his wife Lucia who he married after a brief whirlwind courtship.
