stonepicnicking_okapiOne of my favorite books of all books. A Caribbean Mystery has Miss Marple on holiday in the island of St. Honore, solving a series of murders. It has some of my favorite minor characters: Major Palgrave and Mister Rafael.
You can listen to a version read by Joan Hickson on Youtube here.
I did a drabble for thesmall_fandom Drabblethon where one person's hell is another person's heaven.
Title: Post-canon
Fandom: Agatha Christe - Miss Marple [A Caribbean Mystery] and And then there were none
Content Notes: Phillip Lombard meets another colonial, post-canon
“Take all this business about Kenya.”
Phillip Lombard was not sure where he was. He had been on a beach, trying to get Vera Claythorne not to shoot him, but now he was in a chair beside an old duffer who looked like a stuffed frog.
“Lots of chaps gabbing away who know nothing about the place!”
Phillip nodded, then made excuses but found he was stuck to the chair!
“Some of the best years of my life, too!”
Phillip had a sudden realization. “Are you in hell, too, sir?”
“Me?! Goodness, no. The other.” An opaque eye looked up.
Some quotes:
1. Like to see the picture of a murderer?
2. But then you see, the next day, he died.
3. Who did you think I was calling--a cat?
4. You're about a hundred and I'm a broken-up old crock.
5. D'you want to get me hanged? Shut up, I tell you. Shut that big ugly mouth of yours.
And I did a collage. This is actually my second attempt. The first one wasn't good enough.
Next up: March is going to be fun. More Miss Marple at Bertram's Hotel. She gets to go to all these places and is never satsified (until she's solving a murder).
