Keeps Even Faithful Readers Guessing
7 August 2014
Don't listen to the homophobes. If Agatha could have written about homosexuality and racism and a bunch of other things that are normal to talk about today then she would have. Face it. Imagine how many more tools and tropes she'd have at her disposal? Not to mention she wouldn't be homophobic and racist as a 21st century writer?

This is a quality adaptation. As a longtime avid AC reader I for one LIKE changes to her plots because then I have the fun of puzzling out stories I know like the back of my hand. If I want tequila I don't drink a margarita. If I want AC pure, I read AC.

One thing I am still wondering: did Wheeler have an affair with the doctor? Was he the doctor's brudge partner? Good fun, bridge!
