FabSwingers.com forum: Do you like murder mysteries?

From the land of haribos.

I do and my question come as I watched death on the neil yesterday, it was agatha christies version from 1978, it was a very good movie.

I also like series like mr monk, diagnosis murder with dick van dyke to murder she wrote.

I like to figure out the plot as of who have done it, like on the nile. I sometimes get it right and sometimes not

Do you get it right?

I like crime documentaries and fictional stories too. I don't focus on who did it. I like observing characters and diving into a story through their eyes. Sometimes it's all about crime details for me - pondering the wickedness of a human mind or rather a potential for it.

I’m reading the classic murder mystery novel The Name Of The Rose by Umberto Eco again. It’s set in a Monastery in 1327 so not for everyone

it’s tough going but beautifully written

My favourite murder mystery film is Memento directed by Christopher Nolan. Scores an 8.4 on IMDb.

I like the Agatha Christies books, but I find the the TV shows are so removed from the books that it's impossible to tell which book they are meant to be taken that inspiration from. X

My Daughter loves Agatha Christie, one of the reasons I get dragged to Torquay every year. To be fair though the lady lived one hell of a life, and I'm enjoying exploring her books for the first time.

I used to be a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, and read my way through Agatha Christie's books many years ago.

Really liking the Enola Holmes movies too. Any fabbers with kids, the EH books are a good way to get them into detective stories; they're surprisingly well-written.

I like True Crime. Paradise Lost parts 1, 2 and 3 were interesting. Although really really hard to watch, and also follows some rabbit holes that ultimately end up being wrong.

But still it’s interesting to watch the psychology of it all. Especially since the true killer is likely in those documentaries.

It was also remade as a tv series a few years ago with John Turturro and Rupert Everett which is pretty good

I try and read a range of genres of novels, and detective fiction gets picked quite regularly. One of the reading challenges I set myself this year was to read a Poirot book each month, working through them in order, and some are certainly better than others, but there are about 37 of them so I’m not getting them all read any time soon

If true crime is your thing, then check out I'll Be Gone in the Dark or Night Stalker: The Hunt For a Serial Killer.

The series The Staircase is a much more granular examination of a crime.

It’s brilliant isn’t it. Although with Agatha Christie I’ve read most of the books so already know the murderer

Love a good whodunnit

There was a superb remake of Agatha Christies 'Murder on the Orient Express' a few years ago.

I also like her 'And then there were none' - although not it's original title.

"Does anyone else like Only Murders in the Building?"

Yes it's terrific fun

I love a good crime mystery either on screen or to read.

I solve quite a few ahead of the reveal but I still love them. It's satisfying to see all the loose ends tied up Real life is seldom that simple

'Then there were none' with Charles Dance as the judge was an enjoyable 3 part television adaption.

For giggles, 'Cluedo the movie' was fun.

I do. I don't try to solve the cases on shows though, I like to watch the story unfold. If I solve the case it kind of takes the enjoyment out of it.

No I loved Columbo. Perfect example of just watching and not trying to solve the plot yourself.
