Hallowe'en Party | Agatha Christie
post image
Pickpick

It seems a little bit wrong to describe a mystery in which children are murdered as "fun," however, I did find this story fun. I figured out 2/3 of the solution before the reveal, which is unusual for me, and I found the descriptions of the party games intriguing (although also a great way to spread illness (bobbing for apples) and a big fire risk (snap-dragon, which I kind of want to do anyway)). I also like the use of the word "sartorial."

Team #DeadSerious, welcome to the second half of #HauntedShelf! Today kicks off the second team game which can earn you unlimited points until Oct. 27.

It‘s word association, so post a word that has something to do with the word before it. Our starting word is phantasmal. Each word you provide is worth 10 points!

Have fun! ๐Ÿ’€

Team #DeadSerious, here is the points system for #HauntedShelf. Itโ€˜s my understanding that any book on your radar as of Oct. 1 will count for points, even if itโ€˜s not on your posted TBR for the readathon.

And hereโ€˜s a link to the Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nyYUKsgNAKETvS2oE3zduHta6OMJ2KFH?usp=sha...

TheAromaofBooks Do you know if the bingo boards have to be \โ€œofficial\โ€œ ones that can be found in the Drive folder, or can they be any bingo boards out in the wild? I seem to have accumulated a pile of them from years past ๐Ÿ˜‚ 11mo
OriginalCyn620 @TheAromaofBooks I did ask just to be sure, but yes, you can use any fall/halloween bingo boards you have. And feel free to share if you‘d like! You don‘t have to, of course, but if you‘re so inclined, go for it! ๐Ÿ˜€ (edited) 11mo

Another great Poirot mystery that was fun to follow along with and try to solve. I haven't watched the new adaptation yet but from the description I've read it seems completely different from the original story...

โ€ชThe newest Poirot movie was based on this, but very little of the story remained the same. This one didn't hold my attention like others in the series. A young girls is killed after claiming to have witnessed a murder, but everyone says she was a compulsive liar. Poirot works with a famous author to try to solve the case. Not a bad mystery, just missing some of the urgency in Christie's others.โ€ฌ

One of her later novels (published in 1969), Christie hauls out Poirot from her bookcase of detectives to solve the mystery of 13-year-old Joyce's death, an annoying girl who is drowned in a bucket while bobbing for apples at a Halloween Party. Even Poirot seems a bit hackneyed on this job. A semi-enjoyable and fast read, but not one of Christie's best. The ending also was too abrupt, like she was hurrying to meet a deadline. A low pick. 3.5/5.

I finished this #scarathlon #hhc #buddy read. It did take me a few weeks- because I‘m slow reading these days, but I enjoyed it very much! I like the way Poirot seeks information, and was ultimately very surprised by the ending. (also @wanderinglynn I use this mug often ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค)

One of her later, weaker books Too many extremely similar speeches by different characters who all seem to have the mindset of an elderly person frightened by the changing world.

The mystery of this one I thought was going to be compelling - but it feel quite flat and far fetched as we reached the ending. It was darker than earlier Christie‘s - the victims, largely ignore as is usual, but being children this seemed so much more callous.

Cute book to read around Halloween and get a mental thrill from Christie‘s detective story. If you enjoy tracing through the wires and theories of detective stories then this is the book for you as always in the Hercule Pirot mystery books.

This was a reread for me. Even though it‘s not my favorite Christie, I love the non American Halloween traditions you get a glimpse of here! #scarathlon #skeletoncrew @Emilymdxn

AlaMich My hold for this just came in. I was a huge AC fan as a teenager but I don‘t think I‘ve read this one. I‘m looking forward to it. 2y
Emilymdxn I feel like I read so many Christie‘s as a teenager I was just ramming ten a week into my eyes and I now can‘t remember anything that happened in a single one so I really need to reread 2y

When a young girl claims to have witnessed a murder, & then is found killed, a lot of old secrets are unearthed & Poirot & Ariadne Oliver are on the case.

It‘s a shame that this is 1 of the few Christie novels I saw the Suchet movie first, because it‘s a good mystery. It‘s pacing is a little off, & there are so many characters, & mysteries upon mysteries! ๐Ÿ˜…But a clever twist I didn‘t predict, & I love Ariadne as a character. ๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ—๐ŸŒ‘
