Postern of Fate
Postern of Fate: A Tommy and Tuppence Mystery | Agatha Christie
14 posts | 43 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
A poisoning many years ago may not have been accidental after all. Tommy and Tuppence Beresford have just become the proud owners of an old house in an English village. Along with the property, they have inherited some worthless bric-a-brac, including a collection of antique books. While rustling through a copy of 'The Black Arrow', Tuppence comes upon a series of apparently random underlinings. However, when she writes down the letters, they spell out a very disturbing message: Mary Jordan did not die naturally. And sixty years after their first murder, Mary Jordan's enemies are still ready to kill.

Okay, I really don't think I can read an Agatha Christie espionage novel again for the next 20 years or so... This one still had lots of interesting and entertaining elements, but at other times it dragged. ⭐⭐⭐

I was not expecting to pan a book, so this is kinda weird for me. Normally I LOVE Agatha Christie books, but this is one I wouldn‘t recommend. It had a lot of useless, repetitive dialogue, and I could predict main plot points. That and so many details were vague - they were looking for something that had something to do with some espionage. I still adore Agatha Christie, but I‘d stick with her Poirot series and other novels.

🤦🏽‍♀️Came home to this remnant of my vintage Agatha Christie novel. I don't think Agatha Christie was prepared for the likes of a super villain like Gatsby.

I saved the Littens from the raw, carnage photo of the fresh murder scene. ☠️📖☠️#RIPBook

ValerieAndBooks Oh no!! Many feel that the Tommy and Tuppence books are inferior Christies; Gatsby must agree (but he went overboard with that sentiment 😱)! 7y
Rachel_R._Smith Oh no! The Tommy and Tuppence novels are among my favorites of hers! Good taste Gatsby, but when we talk about devouring novels, we don't mean it literally! 😭 7y

At least he left the pile of library books next to it alone! That would have been pricey! This was the first time he has ever destroyed a book though.. ??‍♀️ 7y
Jess_Read_This @LaraReads He's so sensitive just having a disapproving tone of voice makes him run from the room... I can never stay irritated long with him. He's such a sweetie. 7y
Jess_Read_This @ValerieAndBooks He's got discerning tastes apparently... 😳 I guess he thought I needn't bother with that one! 7y
Jess_Read_This @Rachel_R._Smith He definitely has it out for Tommy and Tuppence! 7y

Although not one of my favorite Christie's, I still enjoyed it. Not a quick book to get through and I think it's because of so much dialogue. I even found there to be unnecessary dialogue. But who am I to question Dame Agatha? She's wonderful.

JazzFeathers This is the first time l ever hear someone complaining for too much dialogue;) 8y
Books-and-coffee I haven't read any of her books but one of my goals for the year is to read at least one of her books. 8y
Rachbb3 @JazzFeathers I know it sounds crazy. There was a lot of "chitchat" that had nothing to do with anything and I kept saying in my head, " Get to the point!" 8y
Rachbb3 @Books-and-coffee I love her books! Enjoy. 😊 8y

Just couldn't do it. This was an audiobook. While the performance was good, the story put me to sleep.

I have never abandoned an Agatha Christie book before and own about 30 of her books... but Postern of Fate is TERRIBLE! I'm half way through and am jumping ship. The characters ramble annoyingly without advancing the plot. So out of character for her!

Of course I could never say I didn't like an Agatha Christie book! This book is a long, meandering conversation and its best moments involve personification of Tommy and Tuppence's dog, Hannibal, but even in her weaker books, I still enjoy her stories!

"All those clues," said Andrew. "You could make a story out of them - even a book-"

"Too many names, too complicated," said Deborah. "Who'd read a book like that?"
