The September sun beat down hotly on Le Bourget aerodrome as the passengers crossed the ground and climbed into the air liner Prometheus, due to depart for Croydon in a few minutes‘ time.

so-soEnjoyable, albeit a little confusing when they use train terminology on a flight (people moving between "cars"? On a plane?). I think after so many Christie books, I might be getting a little fatigued by the similarities.
pickBoomslang poison! Not gonna lie, this totally made me think of Harry Potter and made the whole thing feel more magical.
The solution to this one was excellent! Did not see it coming. π

pickI really shouldn‘t be surprised by the casual racism in Christie anymore but man, it still shocks me.
Racism aside, I love a locked room mystery so this was intriguing but I did find it a bit confusing.
Book 3/4 for #OutstandingOctober

4. Would you fly in a teeny tiny little 1930s commercial plane?
#agathachristieclubR2
3. This book is a take on the locked-room mystery, one in which the detective himself is locked inside with the murderer and the victim. Do you think this plot is believable? Did it feel fresh, given what you know of the trope?
#agathachristieclubR2
2. Christie has hinged several mysteries on the idea that no one notices "the help." Do you think this is true? Is this a product of the time and culture or do you think this still happens today?

Sorry I'm behind friends - work was brutal last week. But here are your #agathachristieclubR2 questions...
As always, please tag all previous commenters to keep the discussion going!
1. Did you like this book? Why or why not?
pickPoirot is taking the plan from Paris to Croydon when one of the passengers is found dead just before landing.
Once again Christie has me fooled and I‘m as usual surprised by her solution.
#agathachristieclubR2
pickAnother Christie finished and I enjoyed it as always! This time a murder occurs on an airplane, right under Poirot's nose. The murder weapon is found underneath his seat and he must clear his name. I liked the dynamic between Poirot and the French detective Fournier. And I always love the archaeology tidbits she sprinkles through her stories.
Current library holdsβ¦ queueing up Death in the Clouds for #agathachristieclubr2 and someone on Litsy recently read I Capture the Castle (sorry I forget who!), which reminded me that it‘s been on my TBR list for too long. Throw in some graphic novels from favorite authors and here I am with weeks of my reading life sorted π€
And here's the upcoming schedule! Everyone is welcome to join. #agathachristieclubR2
pickFinished this one today. #JoysofJune
I think I was most excited to read this one because this book appears on Doctor Who π of course the book is nothing like the episode, which I obviously knew.
This was a pretty good mystery and I definitely didn‘t see whodunnit.
#agathachristieclubR2
pickThis one felt more drawn out, though enjoyable, through its course. Not as much action, per say, but more digging and possible leads. Still did not expect the correct murderer. I really liked Jane being a small part of the hunt for clues throughout the story. Was confused on the course of traveling between England and France for clues and visits.
Still don‘t know how Agatha manages to get so much in such a small book. #whodunit
It‘s a quiet dog watching weekend for me. It‘s also literally freezing outside (30 degrees), so I have my cup of tea ready to go.
I was recommended this as my next Agatha Christie novel from my local librarian. It sounds so interesting- Detective Poirot has to determine how a woman sitting ahead of him on the airplane is murdered by a venom dipped blow-gun dart. How do you get more far fetched that that? #whodunit
pickI really enjoyed this Poirot mystery as it pertains to how someone can murder a person on a plane and have no one see them do it. #AuthorAMonth #LittenListen #BookSpinBingo #WinterGames2020 #TeamReadNosedReindeer +16 pts

pickI could not stop reading this. I borrowed it from my mum. She has the entire collection.
Found a book quote!
I like this character. She's like a single serving book friend.

pickThis was my last #agathachristieclub read before I'll take a break for the #agathachristieclubR2 revamp, and it was a good one! This is one of the few that I remembered the solution, but that didn't spoil my enjoyment. @Bambolina_81
pickWhere was The Doctor? Where was his assistant, the plucky young gel Donna? I feel cheated.

pickFinished another Agatha Christie classic. It had me reading the last ten chapters in a day. As usual never saw the ending coming. The ending definitely had my heart skipping a couple of beats. I couldn‘t wait to see how it ended. I can‘t wait to see the next mystery Hercule Poirot uncovers next.βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ

I've loved seeing all the #cozyinthesun tags today! My goal is to always have at least one cozy going at all times, whether it's in print or audio since I do have some non-cozy books I have to get to this month.
I'll be basing my tally of finished cozies on review posts, so be sure to use them to be entered for our prize! And post your cozy progress using the #cozyinthesun hashtag just because it's fun. :)

pickI thought I had this one in the bag! I was totally wrong! π Great mystery. β€

Book mail! The Phantom Tollbooth is the new family read a long book.
I‘ve read some pretty great Christie books lately, but this one disappointed me when I read it during the #24in48 readathon. It has all the makings of a great mystery: a poisoned dart, set on an airplane, the murder of a money lender who blackmails clients, all right under Poirot‘s nose. Despite all that, I didn‘t care enough to be interested in who did it. Also, there‘s casual racism in all Christie‘s novels, but this one was especially gross.
All cozied up with both kitties and ready to start #24in48 with Agatha.
pickWhile I love Poirot in general, this wasn‘t my favorite book. Too many totally irrelevant characters that I didn‘t see the point of. I gave it a pick mainly because it‘s Poirot and I didn‘t guess the murderer.

pickA great story with some awesome cover art. Written in 1935, there are the sadly to be expected incidents or times when characters express prejudice, racism, and sexism. That may be par for the course from books written in certain eras, but still gross to encounter.
Other than what I mentioned above, I liked this story. Poirot is an arrogant, bizarre little old man, but I do like to have a visit with him every now and then.
