This one was a slog for me. I ventured into a new genre…mystery, but eh, this didn‘t do it for me. The narrator, Hastings, was annoying and for being Poirot‘s protégée, doesn‘t seem to have much of a “detective gene”. Maybe I will try a book in her Miss Marple series, but I‘ll wait a bit to dive back into the mystery genre.

BookmarkTavern This was her first! I would highly recommend trying one of her later books! 1d

For #weeklyfavorites, I finished reading The Secret Of Chimneys for the #christiescapers buddy read. For week 2, I read the second short story for #noplacelikeholmes. For week 3, I finished reading an ARC. For week 4, I read The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd for #christiescapers. For week 5, I finished reading The Land Of Little Rain for the #naturalitsy buddy read. I finished reading it this afternoon and I haven‘t posted my review yet.

Read4life Lots of great buddy read groups!! Goodbye July 💙🍍💙 and Hello August 🧡⛵️🧡 2d

I‘ve started this week‘s short story for #christiescapers because I didn‘t read it in time for Sunday‘s discussion. I‘m enjoying it. I don‘t know if I‘ll finish it before the end of the month because the month is almost over. There‘s only 3 days left of July. If I don‘t finish this book before the end of the month then I‘ll finish it next month.

BarbaraJean Looking forward to this! Somehow I missed it when I started reading through the Poirot books several years ago. It'll be nice to fill in that gap! 5d

mrp27 I‘m so behind on the books! 5d
Librarybelle No worries, @mrp27 ! Some Littens are only reading certain books or are jumping in when they have an opportunity. 5d
Sace I can‘t keep up with all the buddy reads and I go back to work tomorrow 😩. I think I need to take the L and ask you to take me off this hashtag list. 5d
Librarybelle @Sace Thanks for joining us! 5d
ElizaMarie I have only read two of her books (one of those read before the movie comes out kinda thing) - they are all stand alone right? I am curious about joining here and there if possible :) 5d
Librarybelle @ElizaMarie Some of her books are series, but can be read as standalones. I‘ve read Poirot and Marple out of order in the past with no issue. It may be series, but not like we think of series today where the books build upon one another. I think you‘d be fine, and you‘re welcome to join us! Not everyone is reading every book, so feel free to dip in with whichever books you‘d like to read! 😁 5d
ElizaMarie @Librarybelle I am gonna try to get a hold of this one and join in :) 5d
bcncookbookclub Hi Jess, do you my tag me on your list, please… Thanks! 😉 (edited) 2d

I started this book yesterday after reading the short story for #noplacelikeholmes and Richard Armitage is narrating. I like when he narrates these stories. I like his voice. Richard‘s voice was keeping me company while I was coloring some pictures for 1 hour and then I decided to take a break for the rest of the day. I didn‘t read anything at all last night. I‘m looking forward to reading more of this book today.

#ChristiesCapers @Librarybelle
This detective novel is widely regarded as one of the most influential and controversial detective novels ever written. As the third novel featuring Hercule Poirot, it stands out for its innovative narrative structure, psychological depth, and groundbreaking twist ending that revolutionized the mystery genre. The novel‘s ending is legendary, shocking readers with a revelation that redefined ⬇️

dabbe the rules of detective fiction. Christie plays fair with clues but manipulates reader assumptions masterfully with her abundance of red herrings, leaving the reader truly engaged in solving this murderous puzzle. 7d
DGRachel I had to look up my review of this one and I have to say I kind of hate myself. I need to learn how to use the spoiler tags so when I say “while I wasn‘t disappointed by the reveal, I was disappointed by the ending itself. It bothers me, but I can‘t say why without spoilers, obviously” I can actually type the spoiler and REMEMBER! 🤣🤣 7d
Librarybelle Great review! 7d

dabbe @DGRachel I'd love to hear why! You can hit the “contains spoiler“ tab and tell me details! 😍 7d
DGRachel @dabbe That‘s the problem. I didn‘t know how to use a hide spoiler tag in my StoryGraph review so my review actually says something irritated me but I can‘t say what it is because it is a spoiler tag! I guess I‘ll just have to reread it and see if 7 years later, it still makes me mad. 🤣🤣🤣 7d
The_Penniless_Author @dabbe This is literally the only mystery novel where I correctly guessed the killer, and somehow I knew it only a couple of pages in (using the sister's method rather than the MC's. It was very much vibes-based; somehow, I just "knew" ?). 6d
dabbe @DGRachel 😂🩵😂 6d
dabbe @The_Penniless_Author Okay, my new nickname for you is #razorsharprandall 🤩 6d
BarbaraJean @DGRachel I can guess at why the ending bothered you because it might be the same reason it bothered me! (Aside from feeling tricked by the twist, even though as @dabbe says, Christie definitely plays fair!) Imma put my annoyance under a spoiler tag so I don't mess it up for others (or for you if you don't want to know till after you re-read!) 5d
BarbaraJean OK, the aspect of the ending that bothered me was Poirot suggesting that Sheppard should commit suicide. I HATE that “solution“ to the problem, whenever I see it. I think Christie uses it elsewhere, and I've seen Sayers do it as well, and it always bothers me. 5d
DGRachel @BarbaraJean I don‘t remember the ending, but that has to be it! That would have made me LIVID. Thank you! 5d
BarbaraJean @DGRachel Haha, you're welcome! I hate that plot point SO MUCH. 5d
lil1inblue I made the mistake of reading a Christie biography before I read this. SPOILED! I still love this book, though! 3d
dabbe @lil1inblue Ooh, that stinks! 💙😂💙 1d
