panI am proud that I did not bail, but Poirot and Christie are not at their best in short stories. Too much dialogue, too minor of cases, and too quick of resolutions made each story in here a bigger bore than the first. I‘ll read Book 4, but only after a break to cleanse my pallet.
pickMaybe not one of my favorites, but not entirely disappointing either. Just needed a little Poirot in my life!
pickAh Hastings. We meet again. This was a reread but I didn‘t remember much of the story before going back into it. Entertaining mystery though Hastings really annoys me. Can‘t wait for the next Poirot! #ChristiesCapers
pickRead for Mother-Daughter Murder Mystery Book Club with @AmyK1 and really enjoyed it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4 Stars • 1920 • The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Agatha Christie‘s first novel, introduces Hercule Poirot. Set during World War I at Styles Court, it follows the poisoning of wealthy Emily Inglethorp. Narrated by Captain Hastings, ⬇️
so-soI love Poirot. I loved the mystery. I loathed all the other characters. Wednesday, my reading buddy, pictured, enjoyed Sunday reading cuddles.
For #weeklyfavorites, I chose The Mysterious Affair At Styles as a favorite for week 3. For the last week of the month, I chose the tagged book. I‘m participating in the #christiescapers buddy read. We‘re reading Agatha Christie books in publication order. I feel like you can‘t go wrong with any of her books. They don‘t take a long time to read so when you read one of her books then you feel like you‘re at least finishing something.
Checking out the background information on The Murder on the Links. It is weird to not read the teo books right away, but to read them chapter-wise after every Poirot novel - definitely not my typical type of reading.
