I have been interested to read people's views on some of the more recent British adaptations of her work, and there's often a thread of "but she didn't mean it that way". Now, I do get quite irritated when her work is changed significantly, but - within it, as she wrote it - there is a darkness that some screenwriters choose to highlight,overarching what has become accepted as being twee.

But agree the voices are changing, becoming more caught up in their other than crime-fighting life. Great post.

I agree there hasn't been a huge shift in many ways over the past twenty years, other than the emergence of new and more voices.Dietrich Kalteishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403361738445161528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-41675351095013603262018-08-22T06:14:02.174-07:002018-08-22T06:14:02.174-07:00Great post Cathy.

I agree that although the prose may not have shifted, I do hear a difference in the voice of the various characters.
