I grew up on detective TV. Perry Mason, Murder She Wrote, Columbo, Law and Order. It was how I spent quality time with my family. Now, watching a good murder mystery movie is like eating comfort food. I am stepping out of my comfort zone though in choosing to read it. Who knows. Maybe I'll like it just as much.
Yes! Reading Agatha Christie is different from watching Agatha Christie. No matter how much I love David Suchet’s Poirot, they aren’t 100% following the material. The books will always be better but I don’t hold it against the brilliance of the way her books are represented in other mediums.
I suppose the same can be said for JB Fletcher as she is based on books. At least, I assume the books came first and then it became so popular they just put Angela Lansbury on the cover of the books. I’ve never read them but I wonder if they read better than the tv show.
