Who to read if you're an Agatha Christie devotee, but have read all of her books (besides re-reading her books, of course)? The former is true of me, but the latter, not quite yet. I'm planning ahead.

I know to at least consider Sherlock Holmes, anyone in the Detection Club (which Christie co-founded), medieval mysteries like Brother Cadfael, etc. And yes, I've already read some of those here and there, especially Cadfael.

What else?

@theotherotherone @bookstodon I don't like Ngaio Marsh because her books read like she hates all of her characters except for the self-inserts, but Austin Freeman, Freeman Willis Croft, Robert van Gulik -- or even E. Philips Oppenheim might be worth a try.

http://freeread.com.au/ has a lot of ebooks by authors from that era.

One of the things that Insular scribes do brilliantly is to use the shapes of letters to create elegant combinations that look completely natural. In this half-uncial script, the ligatured "gn" in "cognoscerus" makes a new graphic shape - which looks beautiful because it seems to flow from the pen.
