Agatha Christie was more important than I realised

[spiritsphere]

I've had "And then there were none" on my shelf for ten years after someone gave me their old copy and I finally got around to reading it this week. It was the first book I'd read by Agatha Christie, so all the time while reading it I kept going "This is just like watching some classic British murder mystery", except obviously it's the other way around, those shows are all based on her books. I did not truly grasp how important Agatha Christie was to the genre before reading a book by her.

Anyway, it was an entertaining read, though obviously some parts have aged poorly. I definitely want to read some more of her books. I do like a good murder mystery.
