pickAgatha Christie has so many books with similar tropes as the tagged book.Initially the difference in format from her previous 2 books in the series bothered me.I loved their layout,with quotes from authors headlining each chapter. Eventually I realized that this book was meant to mirror her mysteries.5 writers attended areader‘s retreat; they got iced in & could not leave.A Christie like murder occurred.Many layers & plot twists kept me engaged.
It‘s page 118 and finally a reference to Christie. The book itself does mirror a Christie mystery because a group of people are snowed in together & a murder happens.
Did a library run today and picked up this 3rd book in this #crimewiththeclassics series. Reading some, eating tiramisu, while listening to the CNN‘s live reporting from Ukraine. Lots of discussions of Ukraine at the HS among students today.
pickI really enjoyed this three-book (so far) series. I hope there are more to come. This last one really did draw heavily from the standard Christie plot devices, and seemed to breathe new life into some of them with the modern setting. Solid plotting, great character development.
