-=>While in the White Hart, Dennis Mccunney explained to Fred Runk that<=-
 DM> Christie bores me, period.  I admire her technical skill in creating
 DM> mysteries and providing all the clues the reader needs to solve it,
 DM> but I've never been able to take an interest in her characters, and
 DM> her writing style reminds me of the old joke about the *really* dry
 DM> martini, which you produce by waving the unopened Vermouth bottle
 DM> over the gin in the glass.
"Every body to her own taste," said the old lady as she kissed the cow.  
Who, if anyone, would be your favorite writer from the Golden Age of the
Mystery?
