pickLove love LOVE Hercule Poirot he‘s endlessly witty and funny. A plot twist i never could have seen coming and of course one cannot forget Hastings his loyal and most trusted friend and partner. I love seeing their dynamic and how much Hastings loved Poirot and vice versa. They have the sweetest friendship. Please believe im reading another one ☺️
pickI think I agree with the sentiment I‘ve heard that Christie‘s espionage novels are generally her weaker books. The international/political intrigue here was both weak and too convoluted; never mind the problematic stereotypes. Between that and the English country house party dynamics, there was just a little too much going on for me. I did enjoy Superintendent Battle‘s investigative methods, as he worked quietly in the background, almost ⤵️
I guess it would be cheating to use this cover for an #ISpy square. 😂
Christie's spy plots and her Poirot characters really don't mix well. It's melodramatic and silly and Poirot pokes fun at that while simultaneously being melodramatic and silly himself. I was stunned this followed “Roger Ackroyd“ but it turns out she wrote the stories individually and then came up with the framing device later. #ChristieCapers

This comment by Captain Hastings made me laugh! Obviously Poirot thought the Big 4 brains put together were not as intelligent as his brain! #littlegraycells #AgathaChristieClubR3
Enjoying this book featuring Hercule Poirot & his little gray cells.#ChristieCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3 #porchlife
you can‘t insult and complement someone at the same time.
Poirot hold my tea ☕️ 😈
pickread Death Comes as the End in one setting. It's a historical mystery by Christie being set in ancient Egypt. Christie usually writes cozy mysteries, but this one, to me, was not cozy. In fact, if it was a stormy night instead of a nice summer night, it probably would have scared me a little. I always love a mystery, where I don't figure out the culprit! Agatha Christie is the Queen of Mysteries!

Between the smoke/haze & allergies - high, suggesting that “sensitive groups” stay inside, that is where I will be today.
