I am going to miss this one. I truly enjoyed the characters; especially Anne. It's a shame we won't see her again in future mysteries. This one definitely had some interesting twists. A very fun read.

I haven‘t started this book yet for #christiescapers. My mom adopted a 1 year old puppy from the animal shelter and he‘s been interrupting my reading time because he wants to play and he wants to be loved on a lot. He‘s a very sweet and loving puppy. He wants to kiss us and be petted. He‘s 42 lbs and wants to be a lap dog. The shelter doesn‘t know his history and we don‘t know his history but the shelter thinks he might be 1 and a half yrs old.

@Librarybelle First published in 1928. BLUE TRAIN offers readers the classic ingredients of a Christie mystery—an exotic setting, a glamorous cast of characters, and a puzzling murder—but it‘s one of her more uneven works, which is why I'm a month late finishing it with the #ChristiesCapers group. The plot takes a while to build momentum. Much of the first third is setup, and the murder itself occurs relatively late. ⬇️

dabbe The investigation that follows can also feel disjointed at times. Christie reportedly wrote THE MYSTERY OF THE BLUE TRAIN during a personally difficult period following her mother‘s death and her own divorce. She later expressed dissatisfaction with the book, though it contains the seeds of themes and techniques she would refine in later novels. Heard of The Orient Express, anyone? 1mo
Librarybelle I‘m glad the techniques were refined by the time she wrote about the Orient Express. 1mo
dabbe @Librarybelle I love that we're reading these in progression; you can really see her playing around with the form, then making it her own and putting her own spin on it. 1mo
