But the demise of the hero, and of the author, The Monogram Murders longer needs to The Monogram Murders the end of the story. The purists, of The Monogram Murders, shake their heads in disapproval, arguing that fictional characters are the product of a particular imagination and should not be endlessly reimagined by later generations of authors. Others, while not objecting in principle, believe writers should concoct something new rather than reheat old dishes. That might seem a bit stuffy. If we like fictional characters, why should we not have more of them? Those of us who are fans of E. More power to them. Fans of Babar will also surely applaud Laurent de Brunhoff for continuing where his father left off. The Agatha Christie estate has been cautious about joining in this sort of literary resurrection. And with good reason. It has been estimated that some two billion of her books have already been sold throughout the world, and their continued popularity is astounding. Even those who have enjoyed massive fame — W. Somerset Maugham, for example — can eventually become something of a minority taste. Even if Christie appears immune to this literary mortality, it The Monogram Murders have been with one eye to encouraging a new readership that her estate agreed to allow a new Hercule Poirot novel.

  • Hercule Poirot – the Fictional Canon
    Hercule Poirot – The fictional canon Rules involving "official" details of the "lives" and "works" of fictional characters vary from one fictional universe to the next according to the canon established by critics and/or enthusiasts. Some fans of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot have proposed that the novels are set on the date they were published, unless the novel itself gives a different date. It has further been proposed that only works written by her (including short stories, the novels and her play Black Coffee) are to be considered canon by most fans and biographers. This would render everything else (plays, movies, television adaptations, etc.) as an adaptation, or secondary material. A contradiction between the novels can be resolved, in most cases, by going with the novel that was published first. An example of this would be the ongoing controversy over Poirot's age. Taken at face value it appears that Poirot was over 125 years old when he died. Though the majority of the Hercule Poirot novels are set between World War I and World War II, the later novels then set him in the 1960s (which is contemporary with the time Agatha Christie was writing even though it created minor discrepancies). Many people believe, from her later works, that Poirot retired from police work at around 50, but this is untrue, because as shown in the short story "The Chocolate Box", he retired at around 30. By accepting the date given in "The Chocolate Box" over later novels, which never gave precise ages anyway, it can be explained why Poirot is around for so long.

  • Agatha Christine Closed Casket by Sophie Hannah
    Book of the Week Agatha Christie Closed Casket by Sophie Hannah Book Review by Sherrie Welch First, I will make a confession: I love mysteries, and Agatha Christie is one of my favorite mystery writers. So when I saw that one of the monthly offerings from Kindle books was described as a new Hercule Poirot mystery, how could I resist another adventure with that super sleuth with the egg-shaped head, mincing walk, magnificently large mustache and even larger ego, and those wonderful "little gray cells" that can solve any mystery placed before him? This story includes several of Christie's trademark elements. One of those elements is the setting: It is 1929 at Lillieoak, an isolated stately manor on 800 acres in County Cork , Ireland, home of widowed viscountess Lady Athelinda Playford, a successful writer of children's detective stories; her daughter Claudia, engaged to be married to Randall Kimpton, a wealthy pathologist who works with the police department in London and is visiting Claudia; her son Harry, who would have assumed the position of the next Viscount Playford if not for a provision in his late father's will leaving the entire estate to Lady Playford; Harry's wife Dorothy; and a house staff including Joseph Scotcher, Lady Playford's secretary who is described as being seriously ill with only weeks to live; Sophie Bourlet, Scotcher's private nurse; and a cook, maid, and butler. Lady Playford has invited her estate attorneys for a visit, as well as Edward Catchpool, a Scotland Yard detective who acts as our narrator and Hercule Poirot, a detective of great renown and old friend of Catchpool.
