pickI enjoyed this more than I‘d thought I would (with low expectations) - there‘s great humour, wonderful observations by Ariadne Oliver about being an author & the joy of her and Poirot‘s company. The mystery is elusive & dissatisfying in that it stays so nebulous & hard to grasp throughout. This could be deliberate as memory (a theme) can be slippery too, but it feels vague. Elephants are mentioned far too often (especially for Poirot!).
We went to Door County this week and when you go, you‘re obliged to take home produce. It‘s cherry season, so I‘m making cherry bounce while Poirot investigates.
Next serial read . . . I am a huge Christie fan but shamefully haven't read any.
so-so"I thought Agatha Christie wrote murder mysteries?" my spouse asked when I summarized the plot of this one.
"Sure, but she also wrote novels about international intrigue, and this is one of those."
I'm not a fan of the "international intrigue" novels, but I do enjoy getting a glimpse of what people thought about things in the times they were happening, especially since there are so many parallels with the present. This one offered that.
pickFinished listening to another Agatha Christie murder mystery. I did not realize that this one was her first one, I have to make a list now because I am starting to get confused.
I really liked this one because - of course - I didn‘t see the twist coming. 🤦♀️
pickAs usual another great read from Agatha Christie. I was definitely feeling some summer vibes from this book. It had me so excited to the very end. This is definitely a must summer read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickAgatha Christie never disappoints and while this one isn‘t the best book she ever wrote, it is nevertheless entertaining to follow along as Hercule Poirot solves the murder of the daughter of a rich American and determines what happened to the rubies that went missing during the commission of the crime. Poirot remains a favorite
