A ticket is $575! And that's like, starting price. No wonder the average income of the attendees has gone up. They're the only people who can afford to go. The rest of us down here spending our entire paychecks on rent and food can't be wasting money on shit like this.

Other people organized, staged, and enacted that coup. When he realized it was happening, he decided the coup stagers were "loyal" to him, so he was on board from that point on.

I agree with you that some people don't deserve a quick death.

But I don't think it should be government sanctioned or within the prison system, because they get it wrong all the time, and the innocent suffer.

Ngaio Marsh is good, and I'm enjoying them, but if it's between her or Agatha Christie, then Dame Agatha wins every time (personal opinion).

I LOVE a good Poirot mystery story. Gather all the suspects together and then reveal all the secrets everyone has been hiding as well as the culprit of the dastardly crime. chef's kiss

Pictures are hung; people are hanged. English, man. It's weird.

I'm about to read book 21 of the Inspector Alleyn series by Ngaio Marsh, False Scent.

If you end up liking the first Jack Reacher book, then I would recommend the first season of Reacher (I think on Prime). It takes some liberties, but follows the story reasonably well. And has an actual large guy playing Reacher, not Tom Cruise.

Keep in mind there were a few years between me reading the first book and watching season 1, so I might've spotted more differences had I experienced them back to back.

They just couldn't write it on a to-do list, because they were illiterate.

I just finished No Plan B by Lee Child. Number 20-something in the Jack Reacher series.
