Which Christie Victim is This?

HerculeAndAchille — Sat, 09 Sep 2017 14:52:05 +0000

I am not who I seem -
Not a trophy wife or mistress,
Though as one I do masquerade,
Not despicable and designing,
My origins are sunk in servitude and foolishness,
And my end is by my own hand.

What is your favorite Agatha Christie Quote?

Susanf — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 16:07:39 +0000

I want to know in her own words, what her feelings were on life, love, war, children, family, etc. I have a quote from one of her books, but I wrote it in a journal somewhere, I can't find it. I'm curious to find out what your favorite Agatha quote is?

The Mysterious Affair at Styles

Can anyone tell me where I might watch Mysterious Affair at Styles? I subscribe to both Britbox and Acorn TV. Each of these services has about 1/2 of the Poirot episodes, yet neither has Styles, one of my favorites.

This has always been one of my favourite quotes from AC:
"She had always told herself she wanted to be mastered. When she met a man capable of mastering her, she found she did not like it at all!"
@ChristieFanForLife this ought to refresh your memory

Guess The Connection

Guess the connection; it is very similar to the other games in this category. I say three things (they could be a title or a character or an object etc) and you can try and guess what the connection is. The winner takes over.

Here are mine: 1.Captain Arthur Hastings..........2. Amy Leatheran.................3. Roger Ackroyd.

Good luck to all!!!

Guess who I am

The idea of the game is simple. I choose an Agatha Christie's character and give you one thing about them. Then you start asking yes-no questions. At any time you can try to guess who the character is. The one who is correct will be the next one to pick a character and give the rest of us a hint.
Just one quick remark before the game starts - please, ask answerable questions (such that can be found on a book, and not some impossible question that even Agatha Christie would not be able to tell for her character ). Also, in case you are taking part in the game, keep in mind that some spoilers may occur at any time to you for books you have not already read.

I will start.
I am a man who was murdered for something I knew.

Good luck, enjoy and have fun!

I Need Help Identifying a Christie Quotation

oabeles — Fri, 06 Sep 2013 15:39:59 +0000

Hello All. I need help identifying the source and precise wording of a quote I'm pretty certain comes from a Poirot novel. Its something along the lines of, "Until you know the motive, you do not know the crime," or "Until you have understood the motive, you have not understood the crime."
Any help will be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Guess that Quotation

P_Lombard — Wed, 04 Sep 2013 12:45:45 +0000

Here is how you play: guess who said the quotation and in which novel the quotation appeared. If you guess correctly, you win and get to provide the next quotation. To reduce confusion, all quotations should be in bold. Enjoy!

Which story am I describing?

StathisZavitsanos — Sat, 01 Feb 2014 11:31:39 +0000

Let's play another a game. Describe a story of AC as if you were a character (not the murderer) of this story. Whoever gets the story goes next.

Oh this poor child... She was not pretty neither clever but she was a lovely child... Whoever killed her should be punished by the God(By Whom?). Was her name Truth? I cannot recall her name. This crazy man... Didn't he have a lot of money. No his father had. Now I can do nothing
