Geocache Description:

Ever since E.A. Poe, the mystery tradition has dictated the doctrine of fair play. Therefore, all of the clues to this mystery are readily available evidence.


In her 85 years, the Queen of Crime, Dame Agatha, published some 80 novels, several West End theatre plays, and numerous short stories.  Her play, The Mousetrap, holds the record for the longest initial run (opening in 1952, still running in 2009, more than 23,000 performances) and most of her books and short stories have become films (many several times over) and have been adapted for television, radio, video games and even comic books.

In honor of Dame Agatha, this mystery cache can be found if you can figure out the following clues based on her works.  (Titles are listed in order of publication.)

A = Tommy and ?pence (The Secret Adversary, 1922)

B = The Big ? (1927)

C = The ? Dials Mystery (1929)

D = Lord Edgware Dies (?? alt title, 1933) minus F

E = Sing A Song of ? Pence (1934)

F = ? Little Pigs (1942)

G = Towards ? (1944)

H = Cat Among The Pigeons (195?)

I = ? For Luck! (1966) less a dozen

J< = ? Girl (1966)

The cache itself is a micro, camouflaged and tucked just out of sight. Happy caching.

Oh, I almost forgot ... you need a clue, right? How 'bout N BC BH.HJJ' / W IAA JC.FII' (but be careful, too)
