Hello everyone.  Please put whatever you're doing on hold and read this article!  An Iranian woman is accused of being a serial killer who murders her victims by copying the plots of Agatha Christie novels.  Seriously, this is real:

When I first heard of this, the first thought that went through my mind was the Orient Express problem also. And Then There Were None has another difficult plot to follow, but she might have slightly better luck on Three Act Tragedy.

The only part she'll miss, of course, is the Poirot after her trail.

Or a plot from an Agatha Christie novel - The ABC Murders perhaps. Sadly the world is full of deranged and mentally unstable people.

Sounds like the plot of a Midsommer Murders show. Or a Vincent Price film ~ anyone ever seen 'Abominable Dr Phibes' re-enacting the ten plagues of Egypt as a means of murder?

regards, Robin

Ohh this is crazy. She was going to have a little trouble with Murder on the Orient Express. I wonder which books did she copy.
