pickI 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.
so-soI love Poirot. I loved the mystery. I loathed all the other characters. Wednesday, my reading buddy, pictured, enjoyed Sunday reading cuddles.
Reading the background information on Styles. A few weeks ago I bought the new „Poirot“ by Aldrigde only to realize I have an older version of this kind of background info book by Anne Hart already on my bookshelf. 🙈🙈🙈 Okay, this way I can check out the development of the Agatha Christie research from 1990 to 2022. 😜 #offtheshelf
pickThis was pretty cool- especially the way the truth is uncovered toward the end - it wasn‘t what you‘d expect in a Poirot.
pickShort Review: This was an odd Poirot book for me, he doesn't appear for the first few chapters & when he does he seems to be more of a side character to Katherine Grey. The mystery itself was textbook Christie but it just didn't seem to work as well as some of her other books. I think the problem for me is that I just didn't like Katherine Grey. Don't know why, just didn't. 3.5🌟
TWs: racism/xenophobia, internalised misogyny.
Another Agatha Christie added to my TBR!

pickI finished another Poriot murder mystery. This time the point of view wasn‘t the one of Hastings, but the one of Katherine. She does have her own suspicions, even though she does not have all the information of Poirot. But in the end she comes to the same conclusion on her own - without Poirot. 😂
