Diamonds aren't the only things that are forever.

e: Also, why don't we start discussing options for our next book? If there are enough people who haven't already read it, I nominate And Then There Were None.

I'd really like to get in on the next book, but I've read that one, too. May I suggest something from Rex Stout, Ngaio Marsh, or one of the other "Golden Age" mystery writers? (There are plenty of other Christie novels I can't remember whodunit for, though, if you're sticking with her.)

Well, I got the important bit right. :colbert: ProfessorProf, how madly were you laughing at our predictions over the course of the last 3 pages?

As for future stories, I have nothing. :( I really would like to read more of this type of mystery though, where once you get to a certain point, you can piece together the mystery (sans motive, maybe) as the detective does.

In some of the old Ellery Queen novels, they'd actually print a page near the end that told you to stop and try to guess the murderer, then the next pages would be the detective explaining whodunit.

If it's up to me, then I'll go out on a limb and nominate...

The Body on the Beach, by Simon Brett
The Ponson Case, by Freeman Willis Crofts

As a disclaimer I haven't read either of these, so the possibility exists that they're no good, but the word on the internet seems positive.

I haven't read either, but 'The Ponson Case' isn't available for my e-reader, so I vote 'The Body on the Beach'. Going to get started on 'Murder is Easy' tonight.
