Sally and Tony Hope

Sally and Tony are retired doctors. They met when they were medical students. On their first holiday together they took an Agatha Christie novel. They read it aloud to each other. They stopped before the denouement, discussed possible solutions at dinner and then read to the end. Over the following forty years they have analysed all Christie’s crime novels.

 

Tony was the first Professor of Medical Ethics at the University of Oxford. He has written many highly successful books including the original edition of The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine, and, for a general audience, Manage Your Mind and Medical Ethics: A Very Short Introduction. Sally is a retired general practitioner. She was the medical columnist on Best magazine for six years.
