Unapologetic
"We probably don't go around thinking of Agatha Christie as leaving a 'residue of horror' except that is one of its pleasures, isn't it? These people live in a world even more dangerous than our own--piles of strychnine, whole truckloads of it, just lying about, waiting for you to slight the wrong person and wind up dead."
Mittens has a great comment about crime fiction, crime writing, and crime writers in the Agatha Christie thread.
