3. Murder is Easy features several gruesome murders, more than we typically see in a Christie novel. Which murder sticks out to you, and why is it murder by infected cat ear? 🤢

2. How did you feel about Luke Fitzwilliam as a sleuth? What about Bridget Conway? Why do you think Superintendent Battle was included in the book?

I'm trying to get caught up, dear #agathachristieclubR2 members! This month has been awesome but insane, between a trip to Europe (with several bookish stops that I somehow didn't post) and really intense committee work. As a result, it took me forever to get through this book so I just finished last week. Posting some questions now, with May's selection questions to come later this weekend:
1. Did you like this book? Why or why not?
This one was for #AgathaChristieClubR2 (February😳getting there🤣) but I already answered the questions @ferskner What can I say? I enjoy Poirot who sometimes sounds arrogant and narcissistic☺️I like the way he develops his deductive reasoning to discover the murderer. This time he will analyze “...the character of the dead man” (p.173). I enjoy all these arguments about characters‘ personalities. 3/3.5⭐️ #BookSpinBingo (#8) @TheAromaOfBooks
My selections for May‘s #BookSpinBingo !
I‘m far behind in some ongoing #BuddyRead groups, so it‘s my hope to start either reviewing or catching up. I really let #AgathaChristieClubR2 drop, so I‘d like to revisit her works again and watch the progression of her writing style.
5. Hercule Poirot's Christmas centers around the murder of a mentally abusive parent and his children, similar to the plot and characters of Appointment with Death, which we read last month. Which family did you prefer to read about, and why? Did one book have more psychological insight than the other?

4. Did you think that Christie created a good sense of Christmas in the book? Why do you think she picked that time to center her novel?

3. The Lee family is large and sprawling, with many sons, their wives, and some surprise members. Did you enjoy their dynamic? How did you feel about the blood relatives of Simeon Lee vs. those who had married into the family?

2. This novel is a locked-room mystery. Are you a fan of that subgenre, and did you find Christie's take on it believable/plausible? How did you feel about the intensely gruesome murder, especially compared to Christie's normal depictions of murder?

It's time for our #agathachristieclubR2 questions! And I'm on time! It's a (Hercule Poirot's) Christmas miracle.
