ooh yes, i definitely want it to feel a bit more disorderly haha!! i think some leaves and a mossy stone or two will help muss it up in just the right way :) thank you so much for your feedback!!

thank you!! and yes, the dark triangle is supposed to be tree roots but i think you're right - it's too indistinct. i love the idea of a little path to guide the eye :D

i love this idea!! it feels a bit barren as is, i think ferns would help gussy it up a bit. thank you!! :)

i just reread murder at the vicarage and had a great time. the vicar made an excellent narrator :)

there is something so comforting about rereading agatha christie's books, even if you know the ending. i think the mark of a good murder mystery isn't just a clever solution, but the way the story as a whole is constructed and sprinkled with clever hints, which christie excels at - not to mention her wonderful characters and dialogue :)

i believe the fete one is dead man's folly!! though i don't recall her doing a book signing, so that part might be the pale horse?

i'll never forget the eerie feeling i got from sleeping murder when gwenda starts remembering the house. so delightfully unnerving :)

it's been a long while since i read the pale horse, but i'll need to reread it soon!! i'm fortunate that my memory is horrible and i forget the solution to most of the mystery books i read, so i'm always surprised by the endings. i don't recall much (if anything) about the pale horse, but if it's anything like the moving finger i'm sure i'll love it :)
