Greetings, shalom one and all and welcome to the POST PASSOVER edition of Laura's Links. I thought kvetching about the cleaning and Passover prep would get the kvetching out of my system but no, I still would like to complain a little bit about being tired. I'M TIRED. We turned over the kitchen on Tuesday night after the holiday ended (from Passover dishes, etc., back to regular), mercifully rid ourselves of the remaining bits of matzah, and gloriously had bagels with all of the appropriate accessories (lox, cream cheese, sliced red onion and capers) for breakfast Wednesday morning. I told Mr. C that I feel like I am on a domestic hamster wheel. And BECAUSE HE IS A GUY, he said a) did I just think of that line right now because it came up ...

Welcome to the thirteenth episode of our current Tale for Our Time: The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie - although John Wilson, a First Week Founding Member of The Mark Steyn Club, is beginning to doubt that: This tale reads more like John Buchan than Agatha Christie. You don't suppose they both submitted a manuscript to the publisher at the same time and there was a mix-up in the back room? Nah, that would be more like something from Wodehouse. Could be. But it was only her second book - and, in a sense, Agatha Christie wasn't quite Agatha Christie yet.
