The World of Miss Marple Has Been Released!

The World of Miss Marple Has Been Released! 

 

Laurence King has released the third in its series of officially licensed Agatha Christie jigsaw puzzles!  The World of Miss Marple is out, and I wrote the supplementary material for it!  If you like this puzzle with artwork by the awesome Ilya Milstein, check out The World of Agatha Christie (which I was not involved with making) and The World of Hercule Poirot (which I was, writing the supplementary materials for that puzzle).  

 

If you want to play more Agatha Christie games, check out Agatha Christie Bingo and Agatha Christie Playing Cards.  I wrote the supplementary material for both of them as well!

My Review of Mr. Monk’s Last Case!

My Review of Mr. Monk’s Last Case!

 

Crimespree Magazine has just published my review of the recent Peacock movie Mr. Monk’s Last Case!  Here’s a sample:

 

 

Numerous productions have incorporated the pandemic and its aftermath into their storylines, but very few have addressed the long-term psychological strain caused by extended isolation, health worries, and economic pressures. It’s an often-unspoken truth that a lot of people were broken in multiple ways during quarantine, and now, well over four years after lockdown began, people are still suffering from invisible wounds that they don’t know how to seek help for and which often don’t get the sympathy and understanding they deserve. Monk is one of those people.

 

 

Please check out the review and the movie!
