pickChristmas Bookclub Meeting!
pickThis was another collection of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple short stories with a somewhat Christmassy background. I liked it because it was entertaining, but it seems like compilation mas mday the audiobook company because I couldn‘t find it as book.
“But Hester, I‘m years older than you are. You can‘t really—“
“That is—if you want me,” said Hester with sudden doubt.
“Oh, I want you!” said Arthur Calgary.

pickThis was a reread for me! I remembered who the killer was but not all of the other drama. It was still a good mystery!

pickThis is a fun little Poirot short (the actual book includes several other short stories, but they aren't particularly Christmasy, so I only read the title story this time around). Poirot reluctantly heads off to a country estate for an “old-fashioned Christmas“ - and a bit of undercover sleuthing. Poirot is very Poiroty in this one, and I quite enjoyed rereading it.

A nice London Fog with this holiday Christie.

Thanks for the tag, @TheSpineView! 🥰
1. Hmm. Living in Phoenix my whole life, I wonder what I would pick ... 🤔 ... the absolute coldest wintry cabin high in the mountains of course! ❄️
2. I love winter mysteries usually at big estates, for some reason... like the short story I tagged with good ol' Hercule Poirot.
All are invited to play.
so-soI like the girls school setting of this novel, but I think it would be more interesting without the political intrigue. Poirot also feels like a gratuitous addition here.
No pigeons in this photo, but we have the cat.
