Welcome to Litsy!

4✨ This was Poirot‘s last case. It‘s really hard not to give away anything for this one. There was a lot of big reveals and shocking revelation on who the murderer is. Just wow! 🀯 #FableBR #SeriesLove

Never showed my August #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks I‘m still trying to balance life with a new school year. #CatsofLitsy Gandalf gave his stamp of approval for my finally completed bingo board. 🐾😻

Um... Okay... 🀯🀯
Poirot certainly knows how to leave the world with flair. He summons Hastings back to Styles for one last case where it all began. Everything was very psychological and poor clueless Hastings is left in the dark as usual.
The ending was just πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ³πŸ˜˜

It's no secret I detest both Poirot and Hastings. However, I really enjoy the twisty, clever plots that Christie writes and I almost never figure out the solution. Sadly, that was not the case here. Did I figure out all of the details? No. Did I figure out the whodunnit long before the reveal. Sadly, yes, which is very disappointing. Hugh Fraser's excellent narration is almost enough to make this a pick. I highly recommend the audiobook.

I‘m a little emotional after this one. The last Poirot book, this one had some nostalgia, the return of Hastings, & a convoluted mystery. A perfect end to the series. Maybe Christie was able to write a great one after the last few mediocre ones because she wanted to give readers good memories of Poirot. #bookspin for October

Almost done with #myyearwithagatha Agatha Christie challenge. Saying goodbye to M. Poirot. Just a few standalone books left that I can‘t get online from the library.

Quite a few of the Agatha Christies on my Kindle are corrupted, if that's the word - words missing and garbled, making them unreadable. While I impatiently wait for my Overdrive holds to become available, I can finally read those titles, so yay! Ah the wonder of memory that made this book almost completely new to me despite having read it at least twice before πŸ˜‚ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A sad ending, of course, but so good.

I just can‘t comprehend that ending! Such an intriguing read but ended on a sad note. Of course all good things must come to an end. An honourable one at that.

"Everyone is a potential murderer-in everyone there arises from time to time the wish to kill-though not the will to kill."

His last case and also one of my favorites. What a brilliant ending to such an epic series. Dame Agathas love for her hero visible in every line, this is the only send-off worthy of our ever so dignified detective. It had me in tears, witty and kind until the end. What a gentleman. What an authoress. β€οΈπŸ˜’πŸ’”I will be havinng a hard time letting go, just as mon ami Hasting, old fool that I am....

πŸ”πŸ˜­It was a bittersweet day for me. We drove an hour and half for other reasons, but had to stop. This gem is closing this year and I had to pay it my homages. I picked up a few mystery treasures, soberly signed my credit card receipt, and took a photo. My heart just hurts over the loss of this indie bookstore.

Well, I did it. I've read all of Poirot.

Outside of sentimentality, this one is rough for the first half, and I had trouble getting invested in the actual mystery. But the solution was wonderful, just enough that I'd guessed and enough that I hadn't, so Dame Agatha won me over again.

It's bittersweet to be done, but I'm ready to discover something new. Or, at least, to give myself a couple months before I tackle the Miss Marples.

The next two stacks! Anything stand out to you here? 😁 #NiceStack #BookHaul

Well June is done. I won't finish anymore. I felt like I was reading all the time but yet only finished 9 books.

What I didn't put on here was 4 parts of Gone With the Wind. πŸ˜‚ I'll have to add that to July.

Poirot and Hastings meet up at the house Styles for their last case together. Invalid Poirot tells Hastings to be his eyes and ears because there is a murderer there and Poirot knows who it is. They must stop murders before they happen. But the unexpected happens.

This was a wonderful and difficult book to read, especially for Poirot fans.

My husband made an Amazon order and I slipped a couple books in. Ha!! 😎

I was lucky enough to attend a talk with David Suchet a few years back at Cheltenham Literature Festival, where he was about to start filming the last of the episodes of Poirot. Not pictured in the picture is his book, 'Poirot and Me', as that's on my Kindle.

Oddly enough - this was the first Hercule Poirot book I ever read. And while it's brilliant, you really shouldn't start with this one. (For obvious reasons.)

In an #AgathaChristie binge at the moment so trying to get the rest of the books in this cover type

This was the last book of my 2016 challenge. So it fell under "a book that intimidates." Curtain has intimidated me because it's the last Poirot book. The last one. I've been reading and rereading Poirot books since I was in high school. I really didn't want anything final to happen to him. I've been cheating myself. This was, by far, the best of Christie's mysteries.

One of my favorite #classiccharacter, the one and only man with the little gray cells, Hercule Poirot

I think it's quite obvious who's my favorite lady author. πŸ™ˆ No shame in loving the queen. β€οΈπŸ•΅πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ“š #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept #day17 #agathachristie

"I don't want to write about it at all. I want, you see, to think about it as little as possible. Hercule Poirot was dead -- and with him died a good part of Arthur Hastings."

I can't see the iPad keyboard properly right now because that quote makes me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME. A great bookish friendship for #augustofpages.

This is the 39th Hercule Poirot book and the last one written by Agatha Christie (thank you, Sophie Hannah, for bringing him back because I missed him!) In this book Poirot and Hastings are back at Styles under very different circumstances.

Agatha Christie is a Mystery Writing Goddess!!
