Reply to comment by simplisticwords in The simple greatness of Agatha Christie by -something_something

I've been wanting to create a blog where I read one chapter at a time, trying to document all the possible clues, and then trying to reason out the actual solution.

Am a bit worried about all the people in this thread saying that's impossible to do with Christie. Are these other series more solvable?

I think that sounds like a fun thing to do. I wouldn't worry about it being solvable or unsolvable.

I would definitely subscribe and read a blog like that. Especially if it’s a story you’ve never read before, it’d be interesting to see what clues you pick up on (and maybe you’ll find something that we’ve missed in our untold re-reads lol).

Go for it!

A lot of the original Ellery Queen novels include a challenge to the reader when you have all the information needed to solve the mystery.
