The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.

On a separate piece of paper, wrote a letter to the author of your novel.
(Use proper headings: Dear Sir Conan Doyle. Dear Dame Christie--both were knighted by the British empire! Sign it properly.) Example on overhead.

Among the things you could include: Your reaction to your mystery novel. Did it end how you expected? Were you surprised, entertained? Was there anything that confused you? Would you change the ending at all? If so, how? Would you read another novel by the same author? Would you recommend this? Would you read other mystery novels? 

Watched a bit of the movie version.

Expect a closed book quiz Monday.
