Welcome to Litsy!

This is was my first ever Agatha Christie - wow, this was an incredible audio experience. Just outstanding!

I enjoyed this one more than I have many of Christie's later mysteries. The story is silly, of course, but it's lively and kept me guessing with its many red herrings. I love having Mrs. Oliver and Poirot team up again, and it's also pleasant to see Poirot's vulnerable side (and his matchmaker side). I admire Christie's ability to just stop a book at the end, much as I admire people who can end a phone call without a long goodbye.

Low pick. I don‘t usually like short stories or short story collections but I actually quite enjoyed my time with these. Poirot is back along with his little grey cells to solve seemingly impossible puzzles. Could still do without Hastings, but he was tolerable in smaller bites. No real standout favorites from this collection but I had a good cozy time reading it. #ChristiesCapers @Librarybelle

This was a fun and twisty read, Sophie Hannah has done a superb job writing as Agatha Christie! Fans will enjoy and recognize Poirot‘s unintended humor (I chuckled so many times at his wit and dry humor 😆) and the “grand reveal” is classic Christie. Highly recommend this series of New Hercule Poirot mysteries!!!

Another lackluster library edition. Overall, I liked this one. Poirot and his little gray cells were hard at work. Usually I am not a fan of short stories but in this case I liked the short stories better than some of Christie‘s books. Her mysteries can get really convoluted but in this format there wasn‘t too much time to get too crazy. My favorite mystery was the first story, The Adventures of the Western Star.

Feeling a little bit of both; “Wine-down Wednesday” and “All I wanna do is wine” today 😂 Short weeks always throw me off, but Friday will be my first ‘Summer Friday‘ at work so I‘ll be done at 12:30pm instead of 5pm 🤩🥳 Photo inspiration from @mcctrish 😍

Here‘s my review for this book I just finished for the #christiescapers buddy read. I‘m looking forward to reading the next story. I have the audiobook for the next story in my Audible library but I‘m disappointed that Richard Armitage won‘t be narrating the next one. I like listening to him read the stories. He hasn‘t read all of the stories but he‘s read most of them so far.
