Welcome to Litsy!

A little early, but a needed a quick audio filler while waiting for my book club audio to come in. This is classic Poirot…. Lots of characters involved in a locked room murder mystery that happens over Christmas. I‘m starting to realize that I‘m likely going to read all of Christie…. Maybe I‘ll call it a multi-year challenge? There are so many… and wouldn‘t want to stack them all up in a row. #bookspin

Another wonderful mystery by Agatha Christie.

Ooh this one was tricky! Poirot proves once again that he is the master of details. When a woman is found strangled at a small resort, he must seek out the killer among his fellow vacationers.

I believe that a well-known anecdote exited to the effect that a young writer, determined to make the commencement of his story forcible and original enough to catch and rivet the attention of the most blasé of editors, penned the following sentence:
“‘Hell!‘ said the Duchess.”

The intense interest aroused in the public by what was known at the time as “The Styles Case” has now somewhat subsided.

Bk3 of November is done! Thank god. I really enjoyed this anthology of Marple stories by prominent female writers, except funnily enough the one by Leigh Bardugo. The story itself was good, but the ending was soooo not Miss Marple. Which was a shame as it was the last story too. But I highly recommend the whole book, but I‘d love to hear your view on the Bardugo story!

I‘m so behind on everything this month! I think this is only my second book of November so far☹️Having another bad “brain fog” episode, plus having a sick & very noisy grandson is distracting, but I‘m over halfway done with this & I‘m enjoying it immensely, which is awesome. 12 short stories by current female crime writers featuring Miss Marple & so far they‘ve done a great job with it. I‘ll review tomorrow probably🤞See you then👋

“Unsolved mysteries.”
Raymond West blew out a cloud of smoke and repeated the words with a kind of deliberate self-conscious pleasure.

Just finished listening to this early Agatha Christie it‘s a one off mystery- no Poirot or Marple. Colonel Race is the only recurring Christie character to appear. I enjoyed the reader‘s voice work. A good mystery despite some cringey colonial ideas. Set in 1922 💚🐉
