1. What is your favourite Agatha Christie Novel.
2. By chance have you seen David Suchet's performance as Hercule Poirot, if so what did you think of it.
3. Any murder mystery book you are surprised by how obscure they are and why more people haven't read them.
4. It's been mentioned in the archives and even you have addressed it that you can't read fanfiction because of the legal issues, so I have a similar but different question say you read or watch a completely new or different work of fiction would that not also pose the risk of influencing you and could not that be the grounds for lawsuits. Like say you read a book and it has an interesting solution or plotpoint or character and then subconsciously you are influenced and you write a character that is similar won't that be risky too legal action. So is there any restriction you impose on reading something that is not fanfiction and a original work by someone.
5. Have you read this murder mystery novel by Anthony Horowitz called Magpie Murders I think you might appreciate it's unique plot structure.
