My mother and brother read Agatha Christie.  I liked the movie And Then There Were None but didn't read her books until I was an adult.  Her stories I really enjoyed were the Tommy & Tuppence Mysteries.

Of course, I love Bosch and Michael Connelly’s other mystery solvers.

Ditto on those.


We've been enjoying the TV series of Michael Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer.  A real favorite!


Skip really enjoyed the Bosch TV series, too.

Another vote from me for Encyclopedia Brown, a favorite of mine in my younger years.

While we love the Bosch & Bosch: Legacy we are not fans of the Lincoln Lawyer series.  For me, I did not like the changes from the novels or the fact that Mickey Haller suddenly has an accent.

I loved Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies, and then the books, and then other movies, and then the tv series.  Of course we were fans considering we named our dog Sherlock.

While I preferred The Thin Man movies with William Powell & Myrna Loy, I also liked the books.

I just watched the prequel to Eloise at Christmastime, which was Eloise at the Plaza, combining the first Eloise book with Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince and a bit of Cinderella. It's quite funny, and most importantly, the casts for both movies are retained so the Plaza staff from silent Max, the elkevator man, to Mr Peabody remain the same. Christine Baranski as Prunella Stickler has a wonderful scene at the hotel's mailbox, but Gavin Creel has a better role in Christmastime. It's on Amazon Prime, like Eloise at Christmastime, and if you loved the Eloise books as I did, you'll habve a great time.

Hillary Knight has a cameo as a street artist and Eloise says (several times) "Think pink," which is Eloise's creator Kay Thompson;s song in the film Funny Face. It's a funny love letter to Manhattan and a wonderful set-up for the Christas holiday sequel, which is, I think, the better film.

Just finished In a Lonely Place. I had seen it before and didn’t care for it. This time, it moved me, more for Gloria Grahame than Bogart. It was still a little hampered by the censorship of the day, but I really liked it.

Turns out Grahame was married to the director Nicholas Ray at the time they made In a Lonely Place, but they were separated. Explains a certain wariness about her performance.

I am currently enjoying a sandwich consisting of brioche bread , slathered with cold gravy and a nice slab of leftover meatloaf   

You could do like Monica on Friends and have the "moist maker..."

A middle slice of bread, soaked in gravy.

We also enjoyed Eloise at Christmastime yesterday. Thanks for the heads up, DR John G., and the boost recommendation from DR elmore3003.

When I was of a certain age, I enjoyed the The Three Investigators series.

Is this analogous to the middle slice of bread in a Big Mac soaked in Mac sauce?
