Murderers, Poets and Barbecue

 

Creepy country house in 1925. Helena Bonham Carter. Agatha Christie. New Netflick…Just wow!

E.C.R. Lorac’s novel offers us another aristocratic family down on their luck,
living in the ruins of their family manor. Suspense! Murder! More Wow!

The Poet X — a poor high-school girl trying to become a poet.
Couldn’t be more different from stories of the English aristocracy!

Barbecue Take-Out for Dinner


Barbecue from Satchel’s: chicken, beef, coleslaw, salads, cornbread.

  2. Did you enjoy the & Dials? I liked it, but I am reading book 1 with Bundle (The Secret of Chimmeys) and a lot of the details didn't jive with that book. For example, her mom died when Bundle was a child and she had 2 sisters, not a brother. However, I did enjoy the film and It didn't really bother me-the different details that is. I now want to read the book to see what artistic license the film took. hugs-Erika
