Elephants Can Remember | Agatha Christie

so-so

This isn't my favorite Poirot mystery, but it might be my favorite portrayal of the friendship between Poirot and Mrs. Oliver. I enjoyed the reflections on aging and the many conversations between long acquaintances that feel more at the center of the novel than the mystery itself, which isn't overly complicated (although some (in my opinion unnecessary) complexities are layered on top of the solution).

The ABC Murders (Poirot) | Agatha Christie

pick

102/100 I've had the print version of this on my TBR for years, but I chose the audiobook instead, mainly because I was curious to hear Peter Dinklage's version of Poirot. He does a very good job as Poirot, showing both his intelligence, his dogged determination, and the love he has for his friend Captain Hastings. I hope there will be more Poirot adventures with Peter Dinklage. 4/5 ⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Murder on the Orient Express | Agatha Christie

pick

I‘ve had a really hard time of late just really getting into books I‘ve started and been sluggish, so much so, that I fell behind my reading goal. I found myself trying to find my inspiration by reading cozy British mystery books. Alas, Agatha Christie has been helpful this week. #books #agathachristie #herculepoirot

The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side | Agatha Christie

Miss Jane Marple was sitting by her window. The window looked over her garden, once a source of pride to her.

The Body in the Library | Agatha Christie

Mrs. Bantry was dreaming. Her sweet peas had just taken a First at the flower show. The vicar, dressed in cassock and surplice, was giving out the prizes in church.

5. Let's now turn our attention to the mysteries themselves. Did you have a favorite mystery from the collection? A least favorite? Any aspects of the mysteries that stood out for you that you wish to discuss? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3

kspenmoll Let me think & get back to you. Hard to choose! 2d

MallenNC I really liked the one at the beginning when Tuppence conspired with the “missing” woman. And The Man in Mist was actually kind of creepy, which was a change from some of the other stories. 2d

kelli7990 I don‘t have a favorite. 2d

willaful The masquerade story always seemed very sad to me and I thought Christie did a nice job with the “Father Brown“ story. The failed melodrama of the one with the arctic explorer was pretty funny. (Though I doubt that poor woman will be happy!) 2d

4. Tommy and Tuppence running a “pretend“ detective agency! This is the theme that carries us through the mysteries. What did you think of the detective agency and the ploys they would use in the office to make potential clients feel like it was an extremely busy detective agency? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3

Aims42 I LOVED how each story started with their assistant (I‘m so sorry for his name slipping my name right now) giving the same spiel to every new client 🤣 I cracked up each time 2d

kspenmoll Very comical! Theatrical! 2d

MallenNC I liked how they‘d spy on the new client for a bit before the meeting 2d
