I would love to play a PC game like, Miss Marple in "A Carribean Mystery", I would love to solve a murder mystery in a far away island
I guess you could call it another, "And then there were none" becuase that was on an Island too

Why not Miss Marple's first case "Murder at the Vicarage" or Poirot's first case "The Mysterious Affair at Styles"?

Hmm, tough call. I agree, to introduce Miss Marple, and being that St. Mary Mead is where all her insight comes from, I'd say "Murder at the Vicarage" would be a good start for her. It would also establish characters who could return in later games. The Christie Games website had an opinion poll after And Then There Were None was released and I voted for Orient Express. But they also mention "Death Comes As The End." Though not one of her better mysteries, it's a classic tale, set in ancient Egypt with a wealthy family slowly being murdered one by one, as if under some ancient curse. That would make an excellent adventure game, IMHO.

I'd like a Miss Marple too. This is going to sound like a "what is the name of that game?" thread: what was that one where there were a group of people at a party and the lights are turned out and someone gets shot? And, any of the stories mentioned above where our dear Miss Marple is off adventuring in a foreign land.

Would a game of short stories featuring Poirot,such as "The Under Dog and Other Stories" be practical?

Hi- I have read all of her books, do any of you remember the ones where a married couple were in them as detectives? I would love to see a game from those. Maggie
