Reading on #Litsy with Christie‘s Capers (Reading Agatha Christie's books in publication order) Hosted by @Librarybelle
#AgathaChristieClubR3

4 Stars • The Murder on the Links is the second novel featuring Agatha Christie's famous detective, Hercule Poirot. Published in 1923, the story begins when Poirot receives an urgent letter from Paul Renauld, a wealthy Frenchman living in Merlinville-sur-Mer, requesting his help due to fears for his life.

A re-read to jump back in to #AgathaChristieClubR3 aka #ChristiesCapers. It was enjoyable to revisit!

Another belated review… this was the #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3 pick for February.

I was excited to read this because I hadn‘t read any of the Tommy & Tuppence books before, and it was such fun—in spite of the more improbable & unrealistic aspects of the plot! Both Tommy & Tuppence annoyed me a little at times, but I did enjoy their youthful energy and banter—as well as seeing Agatha Christie write younger protagonists. ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) I loved their ingenuity as they navigated various predicaments independently of each other. Tuppence had her own strengths and contributions in unraveling the mystery, instead of just being a throwaway token female in the duo. I look forward to reading more Tommy & Tuppence in the future!

This was also my 1922 pick for the #192025 challenge.

I keep flip flopping on what to read next. I started Such Sharp Teeth but I don‘t think aim in the mood right now. Since this one is so short I figure I have enough time to read it before our #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3 read next week.

We have less than two weeks to go before our next #ChristiesCapers discussion! I‘ve seen some good reviews and comments on rereading so far on Litsy, so this should make a good discussion on the 30th! Anything to share with the others? #AgathaChristieClubR3

suvata Can you add me to your list? I really would love to join in with you on this. 3d
Librarybelle Of course, @suvata ! Welcome! 3d
Morr_Books I just started this and love the beginning so far. The first scene was very intriguing and amusing. 3d

TheAromaofBooks Possibly the most unbelievable romance of all time 😂 but a fun mystery nonetheless!! 2d
PurpleyPumpkin Could I be added to your list? I started down this path (reading AC books in pub order) with an earlier Litsy book club but didn‘t quite make it all the way through. And I wasn‘t great at following through on my own!🤪 8h

Slowly, so very slowly, catching up on buddy reads and other books. I finished this one tonight, and maybe the third time is the charm—I appreciated Tommy and Tuppence a bit more with this reading than I did the prior two times. Perhaps I needed an off-the-wall pair of unlikely detectives.

It just goes to show how you can have a different reading experience each time you reread a book. #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3

Aims42 100% agree that reading books at different times can have widely different results. There are many books that I know if I would‘ve read them when I was younger, I wouldn‘t appreciate as much as I do now 🥰 2w
MariaW Still onto that one 🙈 2w

The I cannot resist a weird vintage Christie cover. These two are from the 1970s. I picked them up at a used bookstore yesterday.
I like the tagged one (the next #christiescapers buddy read) but the bright red lips on the Taken at the Flood is a little off putting.

Librarybelle Yes it is! 3w
thegirlwiththelibrarybag Would love to read the design brief for this era of covers 🤭 (that said, I‘d take a weird cover over a bland one) 3w

Librarybelle @dabbe No worries! I‘m still way behind on Shardlake—not as fast of a read as Christie, but still very enjoyable. I‘m so glad I‘m reading them! 4w
