Today marks the last day of Agatha Christie Week, and in case you missed some of the festivities, there's still a little time left to celebrate:
The official Agatha Christie web site has information and links about the activities that have been taking place in the UK.
The Guardian newspaper online offered up several Christie bonbons during the week, including an essay by Val McDermid about how she and Christie have parallels in their writing, the Guardian's pick of the Top 10 Agatha Christie stories, a quiz, and (if you live in the UK), a contest to win a Christie-style desk chair and a set of several Christie novels.
Kerrie Smith's Mysteries in Paradise blog sponsored an Agatha Christie week blog tour or carnival, as they are sometimes known, with several other bloggers signing on to post their own commemorations.
If you hurry (and live in the U.S.), you have until midnight tonight to obtain a free download of The Case of the Missing Will, by Agatha Christie, read by David Suchet, from AudioFile Magazine. The magazine's website also has conversations available with "the voices of Agatha Christie," narrators Hugh Fraser (Captain Hastings on the BBC television series Agatha Christie’s Poirot) and Rosalind Ayres, who narrated and directed several audio books of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple stories.
