Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of the Beach Boys

Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of the Beach Boys is a box set by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released in 1993 by Capitol Records. It collects tracks spanning their entire career up to that point on four CDs. A fifth disc contains mostly studio session tracks, complete vocal and instrumental tracks, and rare live performances. The set also includes a car window decal. Though it never charted, Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of the Beach Boys went gold in the US just over four months after its release.

The first four discs anthologize the band with mostly mono single versions of their hits, but also several demos and unreleased songs; the tracks are organized essentially in chronological order. Disc 2 includes 30 minutes of music from the 1966/1967 Smile sessions, which had been heavily bootlegged for years but never officially released. In addition, there is a hidden recording at the end of Disc 1 of a young Brian Wilson singing "Happy Birthday Four Freshmen" to his favorite vocal group into his tape recorder in 1960.

Track listing
All songs by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, except where noted.

Wilcox Group

The Wilcox Group is an important geologic group in the Gulf of Mexico Basin and surrounding onshore areas from Mexico and Texas to Louisiana and Alabama. The group ranges in age from Paleocene to Eocene and is in Texas subdivided into the Calvert Bluff, Simsboro and Hooper Formations, and in Alabama into the Nanafalia and Hatchetigbee Formations. Other subdivisions are the Lower, Middle and Upper Wilcox Subgroups, and the Carrizo and Indio Formations.

Lithologies
The group comprises mostly mudstone with secondary sandstone and lignite beds, ironstone concretions, as well as siltstones, conglomerates and limestones. The total thickness is about 1400 to 1800 ft.

Provenance of sandstones
Sandstone modal compositions and detrital zircon U‐Pb analyses of the Wilcox Group indicate long‐distance sediment transport from primarily volcanic and basement sources to the west, northwest, and southwest. The Wilcox Group represents the earliest series of major post‐Cretaceous pulses of sand deposition along the western margin of the Gulf of Mexico. Laramide basement uplifts have long been held to be the source of Wilcox sediments, implying that initiation of basement uplift was the driving factor for the transition from carbonate sedimentation to clastic deposition. Zircon age‐spectra for the sandstones of the Wilcox Group reveal a complex grain assemblage derived from Laramide uplifted crystalline blocks of the central and southern Rocky Mountains, the Cordilleran arc of western North America, and arc‐related extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks of northern Mexico.

Zircon ages also suggest possible recycling of older sediment through uplift related to accretion of arc terranes along the westernmost North America, but that recycling of Cordilleran foreland basin sediments was not a major contributor. Comparison of Upper and Lower Wilcox zircon age-spectra indicate that Lower Wilcox sediments are richer in arc and volcanic material, whereas Upper Wilcox sediments are richer in basement material. Regional trends in detrital zircon age‐spectra indicate that Upper Wilcox sediments are moderately homogeneous over the region studied, whereas the Lower Wilcox shows significant heterogeneity. The drainage area for the Gulf of Mexico during the Paleocene and Eocene was larger than previously thought, encompassing not only the Laramide basement uplifts, but the volcanic province of northern Mexico and possibly Cordilleran tectonic regions along the westernmost North America.

Petroleum geology
The Wilcox Group comprises important source and reservoir rocks in the Gulf of Mexico Basin. Structural and geochemical evidence indicates that hydrocarbons found in Wilcox reservoirs such as the Wilds sandstones were emplaced by vertical migration along wrench faults and associated fracture zones from underlying Cretaceous and Jurassic source rocks.

Talk:Architecture of Africa

Problem with walata/ancient ghana.
It was not settled in 4000 b.c. I think you guys are getting bp (before present) confused with b.c source:http://archaeology.about.com/od/bterms/g/bp.htm. It was started around 4000 years ago which is around 2000 b.c. It started around 4000 bp and ended around 2300 bp which means 2000 b.c - 300 b.c source:http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1631071309000996. Don't worry I will fix it.

Article requires copy editing or complete rewrite
This article is in need of a major overhaul. I made a start, but it turned out to be in worse shape than I initially assumed. I have already removed so many unnecessary and frequently redundant links. Also, it largely reads as if written by a non-native English speaker. --Jay D. Easy (talk) 16:23, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Edits expected: Student edit project
Hello everyone, I'm a student with the WikiEdu project and I've selected this page to edit for my History of Architecture project. I'll be editing this page over the next three or four weeks and my changes will be logged in this space. If you'd like to see sources and the work I'm doing, you can check my user page for links. Any help would be appreciated! Tdavis47 (talk) 18:31, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Please include citations of the sources with the text, if you don't know to do that already. Dhtwiki (talk) 22:44, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I've included sources as often as I feel appropriate. hope this is sufficient. Tdavis47 (talk) 07:32, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

I had hoped to write more at this point, but that's life. Three sources coincided with indigenous Nigerian architecture, so that was the body of my edit today. I have some information about !Kung temporary settlements in the works - two books describe their habits in detail and I have a few more that I hope to read before this semester is over. Irrespective of my school project, I welcome discussion over on my user talk page, especially regarding images that could be beneficial to add to Wikipedia - I'm not familiar with the copyright issues in play here.Tdavis47 (talk) 07:32, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I've moved your subsection to be a part of "West Africa", but you're free to suggest other arrangements. Dividing the section into vaguely geographical subsections is somewhat arbitrary and perhaps not as helpful as some other arrangement. However, that's the way it was when I found the article, and I sought to make it consistent. If you can't find image already at WP:COMMONS and there's a question regarding copyright, you might look at Copyright assistance if you haven't already done so. Dhtwiki (talk) 20:30, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * perfectly fine with me, thanks. my instructor just introduced us to creativecommons.org but i'll probably need the extra resources. Tdavis47 (talk) 07:00, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Peer Review
I have to say that your introduction is very concise and easy for the reader to understand. My article's was a little confusing because of complicated wording and really was't broad enough to introduce all the content in the article. However, one thing that I noticed going through the rest of your article is that some sections are a lot larger than others. For example, the "Other pre-colonial Nigerian societies" section is significantly bigger than all the other sections under the Early architecture title. A little more balancing between sections throughout this article would be preferable, but I thought the content presented was great. I also thought that the structure of your article was really easy to follow. It flows chronologically with time and is really easy to pull information from if you are looking for a specific time in African architecture. Lastly, the only sentence that didn't appear neutral to me is the first one which states, "Like other aspects of the culture of Africa, the architecture of Africa is exceptionally diverse." Comparing the diversity of African culture to their culture seems more like an opinion than a relevant fact to me and it could probably be reworded. But overall, I liked the work you contributed to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brendan Bunting (talk • contribs) 07:56, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Major revision at History of architecture
Hello, there is a major revision going on on the page History of architecture and we need your help, the main contributor is very knowledgeable on the topic, but seems to lack a background in the African front and that is starting to be reflected on the African section which, for me, sounds a bit condescending. Do you mind checking the page and giving your feedback so that we can cover all bases? , Herrikez (talk) 17:22, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello. I saw your topic here and looked at the page. There I indeed noticed what you described here/agree with your assessment (in the beginning the contributor had described sub-Saharan African architecture and "applied arts" as "pretty basic" with "few objects or buildings things being decorated", with no basis/suport - a very sweeping statement, certainly not generally true of sub-Saharan African arts, which are varied and often quite sophisticated, and often untrue of its architecture also). I also noticed they had removed quite a lot of useful/helpful and relevant text (and images) on different types African architecture, without an explanation. A lot of sourced information was deleted, and what was added seemed misleading/not entirely accurate. I restored much of what was removed, editing some for concision (and also made some edits/additions including additional refs). Skllagyook (talk) 22:13, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you, it's better now. I could not have done it by myself since I am not that knowledgeable on the topic, that's why I called the experts. Now let's wait and see what is the reaction of Neoclassicism Enthusiast. Herrikez (talk) 07:19, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * There's not much I can add to Skllagyook's considerable expansion. I didn't receive your ping, probably because you added the Yo templates without a new signature (see Help:Notifications, esp. third lead paragraph). So, would not have received a ping, although now they should. Dhtwiki (talk) 17:15, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi all, thanks for the attention. Unfortunately, my life has changed somewhat and I haven't had the time or resources to engage with wiki editing much, nor do I anticipate doing so in the near future. I'm glad to see someone remembers me! I initially engaged w/ this page as a school project through the University of Wyoming - I could recommend checking out their library for the resources I used and the resources I would have liked to use, but I might have only gotten access due to my student status. Good luck with the revision on History of architecture though! Hope to rejoin you all when I am able. Tdavis47 (talk) 15:43, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Too many subsections and subheadings
The organization of headings is nice and logical when you look at the the table of contents, and I appreciate the effort by recent editors to put some thought into it. Unfortunately, when one reads through the body of the article it becomes much harder to follow, especially because some sections are relatively long and complex. At some points, the headings go all the way down the hierarchy to sub-heading level 4; but after sub-heading level 2 headings are all visually identical (same size and font), so it's no longer practical for readers distinguish which subsections are supposed to be embedded under which sections. In some cases, there are subsection headings immediately followed by another subsection heading, with no other content inside the higher section: e.g. in Early architecture section, "Nigeria" contains only "Nok Culture" with no other content, same with "Chad" and "Sao Civilization", in Medieval section the same with "Sudan" and "Nubia", with "Ghana" and "Ashanti"; and so on. These cases look redundant to me and the two-level headings could just be collapsed into one heading (e.g. "Sudan" and "Nubia" can be simplified to "Nubia"), unless or until other content is added to justify two levels. In general though, we should maybe consider larger and more consolidated sections throughout. R Prazeres (talk) 19:41, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

PS: I guess I should also add that grouping things according to modern-day borders might also be contributing to unnecessary subheadings; the modern-day borders have little relevance to the pre-modern periods, so grouping things in this fashion may be artificial and unnecessary. E.g. In the "Early architecture" section, most of the country-specific headings (Tunisia, Algeria, Sudan, Mauritania, Egypt, etc) are largely redundant, and in some cases they don't align with the territory discussed in the subsections anyways (e.g. Numidia is also relevant much further west than Tunisia).

Eden (Sarah Brightman album)

Eden is the sixth album by English soprano Sarah Brightman, released in 1998 under license by Nemo Studios to Angel Records.

Similar to Brightman's later album La Luna, Eden juxtaposed English popular songs with Italian opera arias. This was a departure from her previous albums which were almost entirely sung in English, such as Fly. Eden retained elements of Timeless, which had strongest classical influences.

Eden contains one classic rock interpretation, "Dust in the Wind". It was released as a single and experienced a big success in Brazil, because it was featured on the soundtrack of the soap opera Andando nas Nuvens (Walking on the Clouds). The single "Deliver Me" also gained certain mainstream American success because of its inclusion on the soundtrack of the 1999 film Brokedown Palace.

Subsequent to the release of Eden, Brightman performed her first world tour ever, One Night In Eden Tour, and released the VHS/DVD One Night in Eden.

Singles

 * "Eden" (1998)
 * "Deliver Me" (1999)
 * "So Many Things" (1999)
 * "The Last Words You Said" (1999)
 * "Dust in the Wind" (1999)

Image tags
Hi, thanks for all those images you've uploaded to Wikipedia. They're helping to make a better encyclopedia. :) But when uploading images, they need to be given an image copyright tag on their description page to ensure that they're alright to include on Wikipedia. A few that I've found useful are   (for logos) and    (for provincial/city seals and such). For a long list of image copyright tags, see Image_tags. (By the way, I've already tagged most of the images you uploaded).

Remember, most images you find on the internet are not simply free to upload on Wikipedia. Help keep Wikipedia free by placing an image tag on the image description page. Thanks. :) Coffee 14:05, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Manila_Baywalk.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Manila_Baywalk.png. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. -- Carnildo 15:55, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Doha2006.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Doha2006.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Unspecified source for Image:Doha2006.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Doha2006.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:14, 16 May 2007 (UTC).

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:33, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Madrid 2016 Logo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Madrid 2016 Logo.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:52, 11 July 2008 (UTC).

Image copyright problem with File:Ph seal olongapo.png
Thanks for uploading File:Ph seal olongapo.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Proposed blackout in protest of RA 10175
Dear ,

Greetings!

As a Filipino Wikipedian, I hope you are aware of the passage of Republic Act No. 10175, also known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, which was signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III on September 12, 2012. Currently, there is a discussion on the Tambayan, the noticeboard for Philippines-related topics, about a proposed blackout of the English Wikipedia in the Philippines in order to protest the passage of RA 10175, similar to the blackout against SOPA and PIPA held earlier this year. I feel that your input on the subject will definitely help in the discussion.

Please feel free to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines, and I hope your input will help the Filipino Wikipedia community determine which is the best course of action against this law. Similarly, we hope to get as much input from as many Wikipedians as possible.

Thank you and maraming salamat po!

Kind regards,

File permission problem with File:A Montage of images from parts of Taguig City.png
Thanks for uploading File:A Montage of images from parts of Taguig City.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We need to know the origin and copyright status of each image in the montage.

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article, specifically Metro Manila, may fail our non-free image policy.

Murder Is Easy

Murder Is Easy is a detective fiction novel by Agatha Christie first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club in June 1939, and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company in September the same year under the title Easy to Kill. Christie's Superintendent Battle has a cameo appearance at the end, but plays no part in either the solution of the mystery or the apprehension of the criminal. The UK edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence (7/6), and the US edition at $2.

The novel concerns the efforts of a retired police officer, Luke Fitzwilliam, to discover the identity of a serial killer active in the village of Wychwood under Ashe. He learns that the series of deaths were mistaken for accidents by the locals, while the nobleman Lord Whitfield mysteriously attributes most of them to divine justice.

Plot summary
Upon his return to England after his overseas job in the police, Luke Fitzwilliam shares a London-bound train carriage with Lavinia Pinkerton. She talks to him about her reason for travelling to Scotland Yard: she plans to report a serial killer in her village and tells him who was killed and who will next be killed – Amy Gibbs, Tommy Pierce, and Harry Carter have been killed; Dr John Humbleby will be the next victim. This woman reminds him of a favourite aunt, so he replies politely and recalls what she said.

Luke reads of Miss Pinkerton's death the next day, and then of the death of Dr Humbleby, who has died of septicaemia. Luke will not let this rest, and he travels to the village, Wychwood under Ashe. He poses as one finding material for a book on beliefs in witchcraft and superstition, as he investigates. He stays at the home of Gordon Ragg aka Lord Whitfield (Easterfield in the U.S. edition), claiming to be a cousin of Bridget Conway, Whitfield's fiancée, who is the cousin of his own good friend. He and Conway receive the assistance of Honoria Waynflete, a woman who, they believe, may know the person behind the deaths. He talks with villagers to learn the stories of the recent murders, including Mr Abbot, the solicitor who fired Tommy Pierce from his service; the Reverend Mr Wake, local rector; Mr Ellsworthy, an antique shop owner who appears to be mentally unstable; and Dr Thomas, Humbleby's younger partner. People in the village view the deaths as accidents. Amy Gibbs died after confusing her cough remedy with hat paint in the dark, Tommy Pierce died from falling from an upper-floor window at the library while cleaning the windows, Harry Carter fell from a bridge while drunk and drowned in the mud, and Humbleby died from a cut that became infected. Luke learns that Mrs Lydia Horton was another victim of these accidents – she was recovering from acute gastritis and was getting better before she had a sudden relapse and died.

Luke believes Ellsworthy to be the killer because of his mental instability. Seeing Ellsworthy return home with blood on his hands adds to this image. Later on in that day, Luke and Miss Waynflete witness Whitfield arguing with his chauffeur, Rivers, who had taken Whitfield's Rolls-Royce for a joyride. Luke finds Rivers dead, hit by a decorative stone. Luke and Bridget realise that they are in love with each other, and Bridget tells Gordon of her decision to break off her engagement with him. Speaking to Luke, Gordon makes an odd statement. He claims that God kills people that do him harm, dispensing divine justice upon wrongdoers. Whitfield mentions that Mrs Horton had argued with him, Tommy Pierce did mocking impressions of him, Harry Carter shouted at him while drunk, Amy Gibbs was impertinent to him, Humbleby disagreed with him on the village water supply, and Rivers used his car without permission and then spoke disrespectfully to him; and all of them died soon afterwards. Whitfield predicts that Luke and Bridget, having wronged him, will soon meet their fates too.

Luke changes his mind about who is responsible for the deaths, considering Whitfield as the murderer. He consults Miss Waynflete, who confirms his suspicions, and tells him of how she knew he was insane: when they were younger, Waynflete and Whitfield had been engaged to be married. But one evening, Whitfield killed the bird that she kept as a pet, with the appearance that he enjoyed doing it, and she says she ended their engagement.

Luke and Bridget decide that Bridget will leave Whitfield's estate to stay at Honoria Waynflete's house. Luke collects their luggage and prepares to leave, while Bridget and Honoria take a walk in the woods. Honoria reveals herself to be the murderer. During her engagement to Whitfield, Honoria had killed her own pet bird after it bit her, which prompted Gordon to abandon the engagement. She vowed revenge on Gordon, and decided to set him up for crimes he did not commit. She encouraged him in the belief that God exacted immediate retribution from those who disrespected him.

Honoria had poisoned the tea for Lydia Horton, while encouraging others to believe the problem was in the grapes sent by Whitfield. Honoria killed Amy by swapping the bottles around in the night and locking the door from the outside using pincers. She killed Carter by pushing him off the bridge on the day he had a row with Whitfield, and she likewise pushed Tommy Pierce out of the window while he was working. Whitfield had been the one to assign Tommy to this job.

Honoria had seen that Lavinia Pinkerton realised she was the killer and that Humbleby would be her next victim. Honoria had followed Lavinia into London and then pushed her in front of a passing car. Honoria framed Whitfield by telling a witness that she saw the registration number of Whitfield's Rolls-Royce. After inviting Humbleby round to her house, she cut his hand with scissors. She then applied a dressing to the wound, a dressing with pus seeping from her cat's ear; Humbleby dies a few days later from blood infection. After witnessing Rivers being sacked, Honoria hits him with a sandbag and caves his skull in with the stone pineapple.

Honoria drugs Bridget's tea and takes her into the woods, where the two of them begin talking. Bridget has not drunk the tea (though Honoria doesn't know that) and is ready for what comes. Honoria reveals a knife covered in Whitfield's fingerprints, and informs Bridget that she will kill her and leave the knife at the scene. Further, Honoria arranges for Whitfield to be seen walking alone through the area where Bridget's body will be. Instead, Bridget fights with Honoria. Luke realises that Honoria is the murderer and rescues Bridget. Bridget and Luke leave the village to live together as a married couple.

Literary significance and reception
The Times Literary Supplement of 10 June 1939 published a review of the book by Maurice Percy Ashley, together with And Death Came Too by Richard Hull which began "A week in which new novels by Mr Hull and Mrs Christie appear should be a red letter week for connoisseurs of detective fiction. One must, however, reluctantly confess that neither of them is fully up to standard."

After considering in isolation And Death Came Too, Ashley turned his attention to Murder Is Easy and started, "Mrs Christie has abandoned M. Hercule Poirot in her new novel, but it must be confessed that his understudy, Luke Fitzwilliam, a retired policeman from the Mayang States is singularly lacking in 'little grey matter.' Poirot may have recently become, with advancing years, a trifle staid, but absence makes the heart grow fonder of him." After outlining the basics of the plot and the romantic interests of the main character, Mr Ashley concluded, "He (Luke) is less effective a detective than as a lover, which is not surprising since neither he nor the reader is provided with any clear clues pointing to the fantastically successful murderer. The love interest scarcely compensates for the paucity of detection and the characters verge on caricature; nor is Fitzwilliam able to recapture vividly enough the circumstances of the earlier murders."

In The New York Times Book Review for 24 September 1939, Kay Irvin said the book was "one of Agatha Christie's best mystery novels, a story fascinating in its plot, clever and lively in its characters and brilliant in its technique." She concluded, "The story's interest is unflagging, and the end brings excitement as well as surprise."

William Blunt in The Observer of 4 June 1939 raised a question regarding Christie's abilities to write non-crime fiction, which demonstrates that her pen name identity of Mary Westmacott was not yet public knowledge: "I should hate to have to state on oath which I thought was Agatha Christie's best story, but I do think I can say that this is well up in the first six. The humour and humanity of its detail raise a question which only one person can give an answer. Agatha Christie has grown accustomed to working her embroidery on a background of black. Could she, or could she not, leave death and detection out, and embroider as well on green? I believe she is one of the few detective novelists who could. If she would let herself try, just for fun. I believe it would be very good fun for other people, too."

E.R. Punshon in The Guardian's issue of 11 July 1939 said that, "Readers may miss the almost supernatural cunning of Poirot, but then if Luke also depended on the famous 'little grey cells' he would be merely another Poirot instead of having his own blundering, straightforward, yet finally effective methods." Mr. Punshon summed up by saying that the story, "must be counted as yet another proof of Mrs Christie's inexhaustible ingenuity."

Mary Dell of the Daily Mirror, wrote on 8 June 1939, "It'll keep you guessing will this latest book from the pen of one of the best thriller writers ever."

An unnamed reviewer in the Toronto Daily Star of 2 December 1939 said, "An anemic thread of romance threatens to sever on occasion but the mystery is satisfying and full of suspense."

Robert Barnard: "Archetypal Mayhem Parva story, with all the best ingredients: Cranford-style village with 'about six women to every man'; doctors, lawyers, retired colonels and antique dealers; suspicions of black magic; and, as optional extra ingredient, a memorably awful press lord. And of course a generous allowance of sharp old spinsters. Shorter than most on detection, perhaps because the detection is, until the end, basically amateur. One of the classics."

1982
Adapted into a television film in the United States in 1982 with Bill Bixby (Luke), Lesley-Anne Down (Bridget), Olivia de Havilland (Honoria) and Helen Hayes (Lavinia). In this adaptation, Luke is not a retired policeman but a professor from MIT on vacation.

1993
Adapted for stage by Clive Exton, directed by Wyn Jones, and performed at the Duke of York's Theatre, London (23 February - 10 April 1993), starring Charlotte Attenborough, Peter Capaldi, Nigel Davenport, Irene Sutcliffe and Ian Thompson.

2009
A 2009 adaptation, with the inclusion of Miss Marple (played by Julia McKenzie), was included in the fourth series of Agatha Christie's Marple; it deviated significantly from the novel by removing some of the characters in it, while adding new ones and changing those left in. New subplots were introduced, and the murderer's motive was changed:
 * Miss Marple, not Luke, meets Lavinia Pinkerton on the train and learns from her of her suspicions about the village deaths and her plans to go to Scotland Yard.
 * Pinkerton is killed in a fall down a London station escalator (about which Marple reads in the papers) rather than a hit-and-run, while en route to Scotland Yard.
 * The first two victims - the village's vicar, and an elderly woman who made home remedies - die differently, the vicar being killed by the murderer's tampering with his beekeeper's mask, causing him to inhale deadly fumes when spraying, and the woman dying after consuming poisonous mushrooms slipped surreptitiously into the pot of stew simmering on her hob.
 * Miss Marple meets Luke Fitzwilliam (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) in the village. He is not retired, but an active police detective, and is dealing with a deceased relative's property. Both recognise one another's investigative inclinations and work together to solve the murders.
 * Gordon Whitfield and Giles Ellsworthy do not appear. As a result, Honoria was said to have been once engaged to Hugh Horton instead of Lord Whitfield.
 * Two new subplots surround the murders, one involving a political campaign in the village, in which one of the candidates knew about the death of Honoria's brother and was blackmailed about it, while the other focuses on Bridget. Bridget is an American who arrives in the village in order to learn about the curious circumstances of her birth (she was found near the village in a basket set adrift on the river). In the novel, Bridget was already well established in the village and was actually engaged to Lord Easterfield/Whitfield, while Luke is the newest arrival to the village and arranges to come and investigate the mysterious deaths on the pretext of being Bridget's cousin.
 * Amy Gibbs is made a relative of one of the victims (someone who in the episode is known as Florrie Gibbs), and lives with Honoria.
 * Honoria Waynflete (played by Shirley Henderson) is shown as an equally disturbed but younger woman with a motive different from that given her in the original story. Her new motive for the murders is revealed to be a need to conceal the truth behind an incident between herself and her developmentally-disabled brother, who raped her after being given his first drink of whisky and taught 'the facts of life'. Honoria confesses to having abandoned her daughter to fate, setting her adrift in a basket on the same river into which, some months earlier, she pushed her brother to his death. When her long-lost child Bridget returns seeking answers, Honoria finds herself compelled to kill all those who know the truth about her actions.
