Some ladies and myself from church have started a little book club. This month we're trying our hands at a little mystery, old school: Agatha Christie. Agatha truly is the grand dame of mystery. We're reading Death on the Nile, and I'm finding it quite enjoyable.
Her style of writing flows quickly (she's all about the dialogue with very little extra exposition), and she's created a number of interesting characters. In fact, as of chapter 6 we still don't know who the victim is intended to be. We were able to spot a number of potential victims as well as potential murderers. This is shaping up to be one crazy, dangerous cruise down the Nile!
I love sitting around talking story with people, so this has been a great opportunity to enjoy a good book and deepen some friendships along the way. And, who knows, maybe I'll keep reading Agatha's books. She wrote over 80 stories!
