Agatha Christie's imaginative crime novels and thrillers made her a household name from 1920s trough to her last books in the early 1970s. Best known as the creator of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, Agatha tirelessly provided her publisher with at least one book every year, and twenty of her contemporary crime novelswere to feature neither Poirot nor Marple. Instead a wide range of ingenious plots would be played out by a selection of amateur sleuths, professional detectives, young adventuresses or unwary bystanders caught up in unforeseen events. And the 1950's Omnibus is a collection of four novels of such sorts.
Designed to be read individually or as a set, this collection provides a fascinating window on a changing world.
1) THEY CAME TO BAGHDAD, 1951
An exotic adventure begins when a wounded British agent dies in the arms of a courageous young woman.
Nail polish: Miss Sporty Clubbing Colours number 314
An old nail polish, a dark blue, reminds me of ink.
2) DESTINATION UNKNOWN, 1954
In Casablanca a girl with nothing to live for is recruited for a suicide mission to find a missing scientist.
Nail polish: Miss Sporty Clubbing Colours number 314 + Essence colour&go 78 blue addicted
Now that I have peel off base coat from Catrice it's time for glitter. This is an old one from Essence that everyone was crazy about when this came out. It is indeed beautiful, but my brush is bad, so it's really difficult to apply it properly. The glitter is hexagonal shape in blue and green with blue small glitter.
3) ORDEAL BY INNOCENCE, 1958
When an innocent man imprisoned for murder dies behind bars, the real killer seeks to bury the evidence.
Nail polish: Miss Sporty Quick Dry 'n 1 min number 60
A classic warm red colour, again the application is not the easiest, because the polish is really old.
4) THE PALE HORSE, 1961
A priest's brutal death near a county inn reveals a recipe for witchcraft with a perilous twist of danger.
Nail polish: Miss Sporty Clubbing Colours number 313
I don't like this colour very much, but since I had a theme with nail polishes and the book I went with the flow and pick my last Miss Sporty nail polish.
Have a great day :)
