Do you remember the one about thallium poisoning? Was that in a series or was it one of her "non-affiliated" books?

I prefer books whose characters stick in my mind rather than the author's cleverness. ... Hi, I'm a tagline.

[------------------------- End of Quote --------------------------] Sounds vaguely familiar, after all I read Christie back in about '72! You're right, I'm most likel;y to remember characters rather than the story itself. --- T.A.G. 2.7c Standard * Origin: The Chessplayer's Forum (1:2410/278) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 244 MYSTERY Ref: F3E00001 Date: 03/05/98 From: SUZZE TIERNAN Time: 07:57am \/To: JEANE MOORE (Read 0 times) Subj: Evanovich *** Quoting Jeane Moore to Suzze Tiernan dated 03-04-98 *** > > I can't wait.
