Competition

June’s Competition.

Returning to a classic is always a good thing. This month’s prize is a brand new paperback copy of Curtain: Poirot’s Last Case by Agatha Christie. The finale to Poirot’s long career is as intriguing and compelling as many of his cases.

To win this, just send me an email with the answers to the following questions:

Question I: What was the maiden name of Captain Hasting’s wife?
Question 2: Hercule once needed to ‘invent’ a brother - what was his name?
Question 3: What are the first names of Inspector Japp and Miss Lemon?

First entry with all correct answers drawn randomly will be posted the paperback copy.

Good Luck!

May’s Competition Results.

For a copy of Rosemary Rowe’s novel “A Coin For the Ferryman”, I asked the following questions:

Question One - What is the modern name of the British town of Glevum?
Answer - Gloucester
Question Two - Pavements (mosaics) are made of small mineral pieces, like jigsaw parts. What is the Latin term for these pieces?
Answer - Tesserae
Question Three - What is the name of the Roman capital of Britannia?
Answer - Londinium

The winner, getting all three questions correct, was Valerie Sale of West Cornwall. Congratulations!
