Victoria Falls is a waterfall on the Zambezi River in *southern* Africa… When a lot of people say *South Africa* they don’t mean the country -South Africa- they mean the southern part of the continent. Just as people from that country on the continent of North America between Canada and Mexico, call themselves *Americans* when they are actually at most North Americans and in reality, United States-ians. (The only country in the world that have declared themselves to be the most important country on a continent.) When people from African countries speak in general terms of where they are from they may refer to themselves as East or West or South Africans or Central Africans…or even just African- rather than just refer to the specific country they are from. Though of course there are many who do refer to their country. When Christie wrote her books, the British Empire was still in control of many countries, especially in Africa. Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and India were still seen as very much British colonies…outposts from civilisation, (even the USA was not seen as terribly sophisticated by many upper class Brits.) But over all, one thing to remember when reading fiction is, by its very definition- it is not true…therefore what is said can be as far from the truth as the author wants it to be. An author can say black is white, the moon is made of cheese and a waterfall is somewhere it is not, and if they say their writing is fiction, then that is that. Or do you expect that everything written in say, “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy “, is real and located where it is said to be?? If they are writing a true account of something or a travel brochure, then of course it matters greatly…but there is a big difference. As for sailors being nicer to women than any other people… *I wonder at your actual sanity* …if you think that is true…it’s total rot.

Like, what case do you mean, I wonder. I've read all the Sherlock and all the Nero Wolfe, too.

I believe it is simplified language, for the benefit of language learners.

It's a matter of opinion. I was born there and the best thing I ever did was leave. Too many people, too much traffic, fumes from all those vehicles, crowded tube platforms. Everyone is rude, nobody speaks it's absolutely horrible. I wouldn't go back for a multi million pound lottery win.

@@georgiaraynes1421 Could not agree with you in any other way, London is an absolute shit hole .

@@jacksimper5725 you've not been to Bradford I take it; biggest shithole ever!

That's all she wrote... disguised as mysteries...

She published several almost romantic novels under a different name. Besides, she has romantic plot lines in almost all her novels))))

Fits the time period very well I think

@@janelynch2913 I don't find that; I find it affected sounding.

This seems to be AI

It isn't her usual whodunit, but I find it very fun the characters enjoyable.

I'll take Agatha any day...broke down and all. Hollywood and BBC still picking over and recycling her fine old bones.

I can't fault it!

😢

Most of the readers do ii - unfortunately .

Are you taking anything for it?

What does that mean

Good stuff then, right?😊

Yes. I like Nancy Drew
