Oopsie!

The English auction house of Bearnes, Hampton & Littlewood is having a bit of a fit. 

An auction house is fighting for the return of a collection of treasures which belonged to Agatha Christie after mistakenly selling it inside a trunk for a thousand times less than its value.


There was a lockbox inside the trunk, and inside the lockbox were a bag containing coins, a diamond engagement ring, and a jewelled brooch.  How exciting for the buyer! 




What was your favorite Agatha Christie book or short story?

  1. I can't say that I have ever read an Agatha Christie story, but my mother was a big fan.

  4. I've read far too many to have a real 'favourite' except perhaps 'Nemesis'.

    Of course there is the thrice-renamed (and each time more politically correctly) 'And Then There Were None.'
