In a hundred years Agatha Christie will still be widely read and you’ll be on a syllabus for a grad course no one wants to take
Agatha Christie is not revered as a stylist, nor as a writer reflecting sociological realism; rather, her plots are clever & usually provide some sort of "twist." changing her language will hardly matter as it would in a more literary writer (Twain, Faulkner).

Doing this always makes people scream at me for being an out of touch elitist, but: the basket of {median house, new car, 2 kids to college} is more affordable today (51.5%) relative to median family income than it was in 1953 (52.3%)

It is with profound sadness that we mourn the loss of our friend and mentor, @aloria. Kelly had an indomitable spirit, and our world is a bit darker without her.
