A bit late but this was a fun one! I enjoyed the African adventure and touch of romance with Anne the plucky heroine.

pickLow pick. I enjoyed parts of the story but truthfully I prefer the “traditional” mysteries more than the adventurous espionage/heist/conspiracy plots that Christie has done in some of her books including this one. I liked it while I read it but it took me all month to get through. Once I put it down I kind of forgot about it 🤷🏼♀️ #Christiescapers @Librarybelle
On April 5 & 12, I finished the short stories I had to read for #noplacelikeholmes. On April 19, I read a college football romance ARC I signed up to read from Chasing Books PR. On April 26, I read the short story I had to read for #noplacelikeholmes. Today, April 30 I just finished reading the Agatha Christie book that I had to read for #christiescapers. I haven‘t written a review for it yet but I liked it.

I‘m very behind in my reading this month. So, in addition to my physical book, I did a little #audioknitting tonight. This is from a mystery gnome knit along #MKAL with Imagined Landscapes. Perfect for one of the Queen of Mystery‘s books.
My Professor is pretty cute.
I‘m enjoying this Christie so far.

pickThis has not been the typical murder mystery a la Poirot or Marple like I expected. I liked having two narrators with two points of view - the one of Eustace Pedler definitely being the funnier one. And it was nice seeing Anne taking her life in her hands. And of course I didn‘t see the plot twist coming. 🤣
“Dancing was a hot affair. I danced twice with Anne Beddingfeld and she had to pretend she liked it. I danced once with Mrs. Blair, who didn't trouble to pretend, and I victimized various other damsels whose appearance struck me favourably.”
Ew.

Such an assorted mix of #roll100 picks for May! Mood reader that I am, I'll wait to see what strikes my fancy this month, but I think I'll definitely try to read the tagged. It's been on my TBR for ages
