Agatha Christie’s second marriage took place in this church, The Parrish Church of St. Cuthbert, in Edinburgh, Scotland. It occurred in 1930 and the honeymoon took place in Egypt, sparking the idea for Death on the Nile, as her husband, archaeologist Max Mallowan, frequently led digs in the Middle East. Along with Death on the Nile, Murder in Mesopotamia, Murder on the Orient Express were also inspired by trips that Christie accompanied Mallowan.
Christie also wrote, Mousetrap, the longest running play in history, now at year 72. Jill and I attended a performance at the St Martin’s Theatre of the play. It was sold out. And what a treat the play was and, no, I am not permitted to share the answer to who did it. Get your own ticket!
