Here‘s how I did on my #bookspinbingo board. I didn‘t get a bingo but I got caught up on the #christiescapers buddy read that I joined and I ended up having all 3 books done by the end of the month when we had our discussion. I won‘t have as many Agatha Christie books to read in April. I‘ll only have 1 to read. They‘re so short. They don‘t take any brain power to read.
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.
Great discussion so far for The Murder on the Links! Our next #ChristiesCapers introduces Colonel Race, who appears in a few other books later in Christie‘s canon. Discussion on April 27th.
All are welcome to attend. Please let me know if you wish to be added to or removed from the tag list. #AgathaChristieClubR3

Book two in the Poirot series. I actually enjoyed this one better than the first book. The murder mystery was more intriguing to me and I liked the addition of Giraud.
It‘s time for the #ChristiesCapers discussion! I have 6 questions posted as spoilers; you can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtags.
Next up is The Man in the Brown Suit, the first appearance of Colonel Race in the novels. The official post will appear tomorrow!

We've discussed Poirot and Giraud and touched on characters during our mystery discussion, but let's think about the characters now. Christie purposely has Hastings ride off to Argentina in the end in order to let Poirot stand on his own for future stories (though Hastings does come back, as we will see). What did you think of the cast of characters? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
5. This novel takes place in France, but the region surrounding Calais has a very deep history with England. I'm sure our UK friends could talk about this better than I can! But, to give a small bit of history as to why British citizens would be living in Calais, I have a couple of links in the comments for more of a history between to the two regions.
Any thoughts on setting? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
4. Let's think of the mystery itself. How does it compare with the prior two novels we read, especially Styles? Were you surprised by the ending? Did you figure everything out before Poirot made the big reveal? Any red herrings trip you up? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
3. Poirot meets not exactly a rival but definitely competition in the detective from the Paris Surete, Giraud. In the novel, Poirot outlines his methods of deduction--not needing to traipse around the world in search of clues but really just use the grey little cells--whereas we first meet Giraud lying in the grave. What are similarities and differences between Poirot and Giraud? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
