Due to the fact that my next few reviews will be of Knives Out and Clue, plus maybe some more films of the genre, I decided to ask about the topic of murder mysteries. Any fans out there? This can be in literature television or movies. I know it’s a popular genre, so enlighten me with your thoughts.
I’m a big fan of Suchet as Poirot on TV, also Rowan Atkinson as Maigret in the TV specials.
That’s a start. 🙂
Cheers, Pete.

Absolutely one of my favorite genres! I’m always in for a good whodunnit! Clue and Murder By Death top the list for me.

I love whodunits. I’m a HUGE Christie and Sherlock Holmes fan! (I’ve read all the Arthur Conan Doyle stories about Holmes and almost all Christie’s books). Favorite Holmes adaptions: British TV series with Jeremy Brett and Murder by Decree (1979). Favorite Christie adaptations: Billy Wilder’s Witness for the Prosecution, And Then There Were None (1945) and Murder on the Orient Express (1974).
I also like offbeat whodunits: The Last of Sheila (1973) (a fun homage to Christie) and Zero Effect (1998) (an eccentric tribute to Sherlock Holmes).
