Agatha Christie
What I feel is that if one has got to have a murder actually happening in one's house, one might as well enjoy it, if you know what I mean.
Agatha Christie
Is there ever any particular spot where one can put one's finger and say, It all began that day, at such a time and such a place, with such an incident?
