A visit to the Isle of Man by Agatha Christie has inspired a new Radio 4 drama. In 1930, she was commissioned to write a story that contained clues to a real-life treasure hunt. Celtic Christie: Hidden Treasures imagines what happened during her trip there. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Here's a look of the stars of the new ten-part series The Detection Club from the BBC and Brit Box. It stars, left to right, Byronny Hannah as Agatha Christie, Miles Jupp as GK Chesteron and Cara Theobold as Dorothy L. Sayers. Airing in 2027.

Here's one fellow who knows how to be grateful for what he's got rather than worrying about what he hasn't.

Here are three Tom Adams' covers for the Agatha Christie Fontana paperbacks - just because I like them. Click on each image to enlarge. Christie afficionados will have no difficulty identifying which title each picture represented.

A crew from BBC Studios will be filming scenes for The Detection Club - in which Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and G.K. Chesterton join forces to solve mysteries - in Clarendon Square, Portland Place West and Grove Street, in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, on Wednesday August 26.

Just back from Santa Margherita Ligure, San Frattuoso, Portofino, Rapallo and Sestri Levante - and I've got an Italian suntan to prove it. An undoubted highlight of my trip was a visit to the Basilica of Santa Margherita, a Catholic place of worship, in the Piazza Caprera.

Agatha Christie's Spotlight on Murder is being published on 30 November 2026 (UK) and 30 January 2027 (US). It's overloaded with heaps of new information, and the perfect gift for Christmas or the discerning Christie afficionado. www.amazon.co.uk/Agatha-Chris...

Just back from Venice. The thing I enjoyed doing the most was attending a Vivaldi concert at the Church of San Vidal and visiting the Galleries Bartoux where the artists were heavily influenced by Salvadore Dali. It was so hot swimming was definitely on the agenda along with lots of gelatos.

Here's the first trailer for the new stage version of The Hollow FEATURING Hercule Poirot and starring Peter Polycarpou. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHd6...

Delighted to have now finished compiling all four indexes that will appear in AGATHA CHRISTIE'S SPOTLIGHT ON MURDER: THE QUEEN OF CRIME ON STAGE, RADIO, FILM AND TELEVISION. My book is coming along nicely for its November publication.

My biography AC and the 11 Missing Days is currently being filmed as Eleven Missing Days. Also joining the cast are Stacy Martin and Nicole Elizabeth Berger. Care to join the guessing game regarding which one of them is playing the mistress Nancy Neele and the seemingly loyal friend Nan Watts?

Ryan McParland, Alfie Allen, Ben Hardy and Stacy Martin have joined the cast of the forthcoming film ELEVEN MISSING DAYS. Ryan McParland is playing the role of Deputy Chief Constable Kenward who instigated the search around Newlands Corner in Surrey where Agatha Christie's car was found abandoned

Variety has just announced that actor Oliver Trevena is joining the cast of the 'noir mystery-thriller' ELEVEN MISSING DAYS, alongside Felicity Jones and Vincent Cassell. The film - being shot in England later this summer - is based on my book AGATHA CHRISTIE AND THE ELEVEN MISSING DAYS.

Portofino is a fishing village in Italy that over the years has attracted a who's who of billionaires, millionaires and movie stars. Visitors include Greta Garbo, Maria Callas, Laurel and Hardy, Winston Churchill, Lauren Bacall, Stephen Spielberg, Elton John, and the Obamas .

I'm just returned home from the Sykehouse International Film and Writers Conference in Doncaster where I had the pleasure of winning the bronze Silken Rope Award for my Hermione Bradbury and Lyle Revel short story Old Sins Cast Long Shadows.

Two-time Oscar nominee Felicity Jones will be playing Agatha Christie in the film version of my biography Agatha Christie and the Eleven Missing Days, which is being retitled Eleven Missing Days for its motion picture release. Filming begins this summer. Vincent Cassell co-stars.

Guess which Agatha Christie novel this picture depicts. In many respects, it incorporates many traditional aspects of Hallowe'en. A frisson of horror reminiscent of the late Christie illustrator Tom Adams can be found in the beautiful image of the dead child in the bucket. Answer - Hallowe'en Party.

While I'm currently awaiting the proofs of my new book AGATHA CHRISTIE'S SPOTLIGHT ON MURDER, I thought I would share with you the wonders of AI and colourisation. The photograph appeared in The Sketch Magazine in March 1923 and was one of several depicting the writer at home.

Delighted to announce that I have just heard my Lyle Revel and Hermione Bradbury short story Old Sins Cast Long Shadows is a finalist for the Silken Rope short story awards!!! Huge thanks to the judges of the Sykehouse International Film and Writers Festival for shortlisting it!!!

Here I am on the tube to Euston Station en route to Buxton in Derbyshire to attend the Northern Crime Writers' Symposium organised by the Crime Writers' Association. On the first night we all traipsed off to the St Moritz restaurant for an excellent dinner. A good time was had by all.
