….it is not easy to hide things from Hercule Poirot. He has a knack of finding out”
Hercule Poirot
CLOCK IT 🤏🏾🤏🏾
not loving Dr Shepherd… like i just don‘t care about his POV 😭 i want POIROT ‼️
After finishing the book, I read a few critical pieces that called this Christie‘s masterpiece. I don‘t disagree, although I have a lot of Poirot books to go and I hope to find other great ones. I think readers who pay close attention will solve the whodunnit before it plays out, but I celebrate the honesty and truth with which the author told her tale and allowed us to discover the culprit for ourselves.
For #weeklyfavorites, I finished reading The Secret Of Chimneys for the #christiescapers buddy read. For week 2, I read the second short story for #noplacelikeholmes. For week 3, I finished reading an ARC. For week 4, I read The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd for #christiescapers. For week 5, I finished reading The Land Of Little Rain for the #naturalitsy buddy read. I finished reading it this afternoon and I haven‘t posted my review yet.
I‘ve started this week‘s short story for #christiescapers because I didn‘t read it in time for Sunday‘s discussion. I‘m enjoying it. I don‘t know if I‘ll finish it before the end of the month because the month is almost over. There‘s only 3 days left of July. If I don‘t finish this book before the end of the month then I‘ll finish it next month.
I started this book yesterday after reading the short story for #noplacelikeholmes and Richard Armitage is narrating. I like when he narrates these stories. I like his voice. Richard‘s voice was keeping me company while I was coloring some pictures for 1 hour and then I decided to take a break for the rest of the day. I didn‘t read anything at all last night. I‘m looking forward to reading more of this book today.

This detective novel is widely regarded as one of the most influential and controversial detective novels ever written. As the third novel featuring Hercule Poirot, it stands out for its innovative narrative structure, psychological depth, and groundbreaking twist ending that revolutionized the mystery genre. The novel‘s ending is legendary, shocking readers with a revelation that redefined ⬇️
The #ChristiesCapers discussion questions are posted! You can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtags. This is my second favorite Christie, and I hope everyone enjoyed it!
Next month, Hastings is back with Poirot for The Big Four. Official post tomorrow! #AgathaChristieClubR3
8. This novel has seen quite a number of adaptations in various formats, from stage productions to the small screen (Suchet as Poirot!) and even graphic novel. If you are familiar with any adaptations, how do they compare to the original work?
As an aside, while it does not completely follow the novel, the 2000 TV production of the novel starring David Suchet as Poirot is entertaining and a must watch! #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
7. Is Christie having fun with mysteries in a way? Were there moments in the book that struck you as funny or comical?~from discussion questions, Johnson Public Library #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
6. As with Christie's other village settings, King's Abbot has its share of intrigue, scandal, and secrets. Think about the characters in this novel. Was Ackroyd a worthy victim? Any thoughts on the other characters?
Caroline, Dr. Sheppard's sister, is a stand out character to me. She is a busybody, yet I think she knows quite a lot and suspects her brother. #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
5. Poirot escapes to King's Abbot for a bit of R&R, though of course he stumbles upon murder. And those blasted vegetable marrows! Think of our prior encounters with Poirot. What do you think of his detection skills in this one versus the prior novels? How well does he use his little gray cells? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
4. Before we explore other characters, I want to dive into the twist, because Dr. Sheppard plays a huge role. Were you surprised by the murderer's identity?
This was my 4th read, and I finally picked up on a comment that Dr. Sheppard makes that shows his culpability--I should have bookmarked the passage! I read this a few months ago for my IRL book club, so I cannot remember! #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
3. We do not have Hastings in this novel, but instead we hear about the crime through the eyes of Dr. Sheppard. We'll explore the twist in a moment, but prior to the reveal, think about reading the narrative. Did you trust Dr. Sheppard? Did you consider him to be a reliable narrator of the story? Think about the narration and the structure of the novel--any thoughts or comments? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
2. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is considered one of the best if not the best crime novel ever. Crime Writers' Association voted it as the best in 2013, and the Mystery Writers' Association named it the 12th best novel in 1995. Participants cited the twist at the end for their voting choice.
What do you think? Is this the best crime novel or one of the best? Why or why not? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
1. This is our fourth Hercule Poirot novel. Was this the first time you read it? A reread for you? What are your overall impressions? We'll be exploring the novel's popularity/acclaim as well as the twists and identity of the murderer in later questions! #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
Dinner and a movie this evening was the episode of Poirot based on this month‘s book. A good way to prepare for the discussion tomorrow! Questions will be posted before 12pm US East Coast time. Looking forward to it!

July‘s #ChristiesCapers returns us to Hercule Poirot. Considered to be one of the best mysteries of all time, I think one can argue that we truly see Christie‘s writing genius in this.
Discussion will take place on July 27th. All are welcome! Let me know if you wish to be added to or removed from the tag list! #AgathaChristieClubR3

Great discussion so far about Chimneys! Please feel free to join the discussion whenever.

Interesting list! Books I‘ve read (7/100), a few from my TBR, some I‘ve never heard of in my life, and some by authors I have read just not the ones on the list. #TLT
Surely there will be more Agatha Christie in the next batch? Survey link: https://www.listchallenges.com/1001-books-you-must-read-before-you-die-1900s
Highlights:
1. The Call of the Wild
2. The Great Gatsby
3. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
So let it be Veronal.
But I wish Hercule Poirot had never retired from work and come here to grow vegetable marrows.

This was a fun read, I was surprised by it in a good way.
Roger was killed and the list of suspects is long, but a H. Poirot is requested and delivers his unique brand of mystery solving in a timely and detailed manner with a pop at the end.
4/5 stars. Well written, good characters and a good story. I didn‘t get the twist until it popped in the book.
I am not a huge Disney fan; but this Lego villains set was super fun and 90s kid nostalgia won
Another serial read done. My mission is to read the issues daily from now on.
This is a reread for me—my IRL book group is discussing it this week. There is a reason it is considered one of the best mysteries—I cannot say much without giving it away, but the way Christie constructs the murder and the ensuing investigation is brilliant. Lots of red herrings and misdirections, but if you use your little grey cells, you can figure it out. Absolutely brilliant. #192025 #1926
Another Monday - a new week to listen to audiobooks on my daily commute. I finished this one last week and have to say - again - I did not see the end coming. The point of view is definitely interesting, I wonder why the story wouldn‘t be told by Hastings. No wonder it is called Agatha Christie‘s masterpiece.

I started this yesterday and I‘m almost halfway through. Not sure exactly when it was published, but it was definitely the 1920s.
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs
Another fantastic Christie mystery!
#bookspinbingo - this is my #doublespin for this month!
#pop24 - book with an unreliable narrator
Three in one set of Agatha Christie novels, featuring the murder of Roger Ackroyd, they do it with mirrors and Mrs McGintys dead. The murder of Roger Ackroyd has always been a favourite of mine.
I made the mistake of reading Lucy Worsley's biography of Christie before I read this. #spoileralert #oops

Thanks for the tag @The_Penniless_Author 😊💕

1) Stuart Turton is the main author that can't write fast enough for me!
2) The Murder of Roger Ackroyd maybe? Mystery is my fave genre, although I also love fantasy and literary fiction.
3) Robin Hobb!!!! Working my way through Fitz and the Fool.....
Roger Ackroyd's fiancée was being blackmailed over the death of her first husband & the pressure became too much & she took her own life. Ackroyd receives a letter containing some information about what happened but is suddenly murdered. There are plenty of suspects & how lucky (but perhaps unfortunate for the guilty party) that Hercule Poirot is residing in the village! (continued)
This is on the New York Times list of best mysteries of all time and now reading i totally agree. Written with a dash of humor.
Bit of a slow start to #JoyousJanuary but I have finished one book so that's a good start. Plus a chunk read in others. @Andrew65
I missed Hastings, but Poirot (and Christie) made up for his absence. What a great mystery novel. (Tip: Don‘t read Louise Penny‘s introduction in this edition until you finish the book!)
I listened to this book. I loved it! I had no clue that the person who killed Roger Ackroyd. I was so surprised. This book was intriguing and had humor in it. If you have never read an Agatha Christie book, you need to read this one. It's a classic for a reason!
🙂 Happy Reading 🙂

Time magazine compiled a list of the 100 best mystery and thriller books, and it‘s a real TBR killer! I‘ve read 23 and have several on my list already.
Be advised, if you haven‘t read the tagged book or Death on the Nile, the Lucy Worsley TV series (and, presumably, the book) contains spoilers.

Mrs. Ferrars died on the night of the 16th—17th September—a Thursday. I was sent for at eight o‘clock on the morning of Friday the 17th. There was nothing to be done.
