Interesting. Some of my favorites made the list, some didn't. Which goes to show that no list is perfect. :) I was happy to see THE ABC MURDERS, A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED and MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS on the final list, also 4:50 FROM PADDINGTON which are four of my special faves. Can't complain.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get a list from you, did I Yvette? You might have broken some ties!
Delete29 lists, and I was the only person who picked The Pale Horse. I was riding the pale horse all alone! I might post the runners-up sometime.
(two years later)....
Deletejust to say that I really love "The Pale Horse". "The Hollow", "4:50 from Paddington", "Cards on the Table" and "Sad Cypress" are also among my favorites.
All good choices! The Pale Horse is a personal favorite of mine that didn't make the list above.
