Re: Quiz -Wednesday 27th January


Yes, Eileen was right Dashiell Hammett was the author. Only learned when I was looking that up that "Dashiell" was his mother's maiden name, and his given name was Samuel.

Q6. While we are talking about crime and mystery, one of the longest running and most popular TV series for CBS and syndicated worldwide, starred Angela Lansbury as amateur sleuth and writer Jessica Fletcher. What was the series called?

I think it was something to do with Miss Marple, but have no idea what the title was; never watched it.
