Winner Chosen: Group Read Dec 2011-Jan 2012

I'll also go old school and nominate Dorothy L. Sayers. The first book in the Lord Peter Wimsey series is Whose Body?. However, it is possible to start reading Sayers with the books which also feature Harriet Vane, namely: Strong Poison, Have His Carcase, Gaudy Night and Busman's Honeymoon.

We have a bazillion names, so I will close the nominations early: at 18:00 my time (GMT +1), which is 12:00 NYC Time.

We will do a first voting until Tuesday the 6th

and the top 8 names will go onto the final.

And the winner is Agatha Christie.

Congratulations to Merritt for nominating the winning author.

The Author Fest will kick off on the 15th of December. (I have a few Christie books that I have never read just waiting here on the shelf.... yumm!)

I have one of hers. I have never read her before, I just downloaded it from my Nook library.

The fun in Agatha Christie is her detective characters, especially Hercule Poirot. The books tend to be much alike, so pick the most convenient one and start reading.

Yeah, and Christie was prolific (to say the least); so there's a wide choice of books.

[Merritt]

Yay! Agatha Christie is an excellent mystery author, and she has written so much! I'll start the new thread soon, and I'll create a list of suggestions for those who aren't sure which of her books to pick.

Super stoked to read another Agatha Christie novel. I've got a bunch waiting on my shelf.
