Welcome to Litsy!

This book is just ok. Inspector Catchpool, invented by Hannah, serves the same purpose as Christie‘s Hastings. Why not just use Hastings? Poirot is also mean to Catchpool. There‘s only one murder in this book that makes any sense, and there are too many characters. The narrator is really good though.

Although I do enjoy these new Poirot novels, nothing compares to the original Agatha Christie books.

Been exhausted this week but in the holiday spirit. So not reading, but listening to this instead in stolen snatches- while resting,cooking, in the car. In keeping with the likes of Christie‘s Poirot, a cerebral read. Less action, more conversation.

The latest book in the Hercule Poirot series, which he is assisted by Inspector Edward Catchpole. It has all the usual ingredients, murders and a group of suspects. I enjoyed this one, I definitely had no idea of who the murdered was at all! #crimebooks

October marked the 100th anniversary of Agatha Christie‘s debut novel, ‘The Mysterious Affair at Styles‘, featuring a certain remarkable Belgian sleuth. I‘m planning a re-read of TMAAS before the end of the year to celebrate. I also hoped to get to this new Poirot mystery last month, but I didn‘t quite fit it in. Although no one can equal Christie, Hannah does a great job continuing on with Poirot - and this fourth novel sounds quite exciting!

I am currently reading the latest Hercule Poirot by Sophie Hannah and enjoying it! #redbooks

Yeah. I‘d already borrowed this from the library before I read the previous one, which I didn‘t like and because I don‘t like to sent books back unread I read it anyway. Shouldn‘t have. I think I‘m going to stop with these now. They‘re clearly not for me.

Next mystery read!

So far, The Killings at kingfisher hill is amazing and I can‘t wait to finish reading this!

This is the first of the new Agatha Christie‘s by Sophie Hannah that I‘ve had a chance to read, but I greatly enjoyed it! She‘s really done. Lovely job sticking to Christie‘s Poirot, but it doesn‘t feel stale. Now I‘ll need to go back and read the others!
