A14 - Thé Caniadian Champion, Friday, February 17, 2006- Mysteries bmught to lme at your local libraty detectives hroughît t life on the television screen. Now wc can see if the authors description of the characters and our own imagined version will match that of the actors chosen to portray them. Some actors become the character: if you've ever seen John Thaw playing Inspector Morse you'll neyer read anoth- er Colin Dexter novel again without thinking of Thaws por- trayal. So if ynu like reading mysteries and watching them on video, we have a wide selection of hoth at the Milton Public Library PD. Jamess mysteries always have a unique sense of place, and her latest hook, The Lighthouse is no exception. We can imagine how it wrill look on film when it finally comes to the screen. But meanwhile, you can watch Commander Adam Dalgleish, played superbly hy Roy Marsden, in Cover Her Face, A Certain justice and Death In tioiî l)îci i , ,I ____________ avail7ahle in hook or vîdeo version at Cover to the lihrary The police team co ver of Barnahy and Troy, who star in the Midsomer Murders Series, is the charming creation of author Caroline Graham. The ugliness that lies under the peaceful village set- ting lends truth ta the quntatian in one of PDjamess novels that "there is more violence in an Enghish hedgerow than in the meanest streets ni a great city" Catch the pair on video in Blond Will Out and Garden 0f Death. The Midsomer Villages are rie with crime in bath print and film. The Inspectar Lynley Mysteries on viden are the English invention ni American author Elizabeth George. Several ni her mystenies have heen filmed featuring 'the aristocratie L ord Lynilcy asnd his woîkîng class assistant, the volatile Barhara Havers. The tension hetween the two in the novels translates well ta the films and makes for interesting viewing. Try some of her books like In Pursuit 0f The Proper Sinner or In The Presence 0f Thse Enemy. Many ni Agatha Christies mysteries have been made intto feature films starning major actors, like Elizabeth Taylor, Mia Farrow and Peter Ustinov. Several actors have also partrayed Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot over the years. But David Suchet's Poirot In One Two, Buchle My Shae and Joan Hickson's Miss Marple in The Mirror crachd, best capture the intention of the author in these and many other videos in the series available at thse library. We cant leave out R.D. Wingfield's rumpled DIJach Frost; aptly portrayed by actor Davidjason in the viden series Frost. And who would have imagined Diana Rigg playing the part of si campy 1 920's Home Office analyst in the Gladys Mitchell series The Mrs Bradley Mysteries.
