Well, I liked this one quite a bit! I find it amusing how Poirot has started acting a little like Miss Marple in this one ("Now, what does that remind me of?"). The political intrigue subplot felt unnecessary and a little like Red Scare Era propaganda, but otherwise, this mystery was delightful to read. #doublespin

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! 2d
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) 2d

Finished in February. Behind already on the Agatha Christie reread. I tried to go into this one thinking good thoughts about Hastings but I just can‘t stand him. He thinks he‘s so clever and he‘s really not.

Librarybelle I have a love/hate relationship with Hastings, I think. 3d

February reading wrap. A very slow month.
Rebecca the #booksnake only got 4 new stripes this month after a whopping 10 last month.

Bookzombie I‘m loving Rebecca. Can‘t wait to see how long she is by end of year! 🙂 3d

This was my first read and introduction to Tommy and Tuppence. I enjoyed the mystery and the two young detectives even though it was a bit contrived and ridiculous but I found it fun and engaging. I would definitely read another book in this series.

Librarybelle Yay! So glad you liked it! 6d
Aims42 That was the same copy I borrowed from my library lol I wish it had a prettier cover 😆 6d
mrp27 @Aims42 I fell the same way! 6d

The Secret Adversary | Agatha Christie
post image
Mehso-so

Friends Thomas Beresford (Tommy) & Prudence Cowley (Tuppence) bump into each other in London after the end of WWI. In the aftermath of the war, they are struggling to find work & so they decide to place an advertisement together but before they can do so, they become embroiled in a conspiracy. Important government papers were entrusted to a passenger on the 'Lusitania' (a ship sunk by a German U-boat) who has since disappeared (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf & no-one has heard of her since. Is Jane Finn dead or being held somewhere?

This first book in the 'Tommy & Tuppence' series is a bit of a mad caper. Suspend your disbelief that a couple of inexperienced civilians would be asked to undertake a dangerous mission. Or that a government minister would spill secrets to two people who placed a newspaper ad.
6d
OutsmartYourShelf The plot almost became interesting at a couple of points but I found the two main characters a bit grating. It's OK but I prefer the author's Miss Marple & Poirot books. 2⭐

Librarybelle I liked this better my third or fourth time reading it than I did the first couple. I think I‘m in a “suspend my belief” mood at the moment! I also prefer her Marple and Poirot stories. 6d

I‘ve decided to join the #christiescapers buddy read. The only Agatha Christie book I‘ve read is Murder On The Orient Express and I liked it. I‘ve been wanting to read more of her books. I have some of her books on my Audible app and this will give me a good excuse to read them sooner rather than later. They also seem like short audiobooks. I‘m only 2 months behind on the buddy read because I just joined but I have time to catch up.

Librarybelle You definitely do! Glad you joined! 6d

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! 1w
