Typical of Christie's Poirot mysteries, & that is a very good thing. Often with lesser writers I can figure out whodunit, but I'm halfway in this one & haven't any ideas. Also unlike lesser mystery writers, Christie has developed very rich & quirky characters. I confess I've neglected other reading & writing to sneak in another chapter of Third Girl.

This is a real treasury of New Yorker pieces. The contributors include all the great New Yorker writers: Roger Angell, John Cheever, A.J. Liebling, Ogden Nash, John Updike & E.B. White. There is something for every dog lover in this book: poems, fiction, essays, memoir and reportage. It is divided into sections called Good Dogs, Bad Dogs, Top Dogs & Underdogs. I've enjoyed every piece so far.
