Read all of Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes stories growing up, but have barely touched a mystery since, unless you count China Mieville’s latest. Christie’s a great plotter. The first novel I planned as a teenager was a murder mystery. I’ve decided 2010 is a rereading-childhood/classic-books-I-should’ve-read-by-now year… might read this one again.
