Clever murder mystery with an Isle of Man connection. I enjoyed it.

As my first reading experience with AC, APFoR demonstrated why AC had such a lasting, immense legacy, but it also disappointed me. The intro chapter is fantastic. The ending is good, but I saw a lot more potential in other possibilities. #AgathaChristie #classicmystery

Book 2 of 2020, listened on Hoopla. This is the first Ellery Queen book, com 1929. So it‘s dated, and is also not the kind of mystery that the reader can solve due to info not being shared with the reader. I was on the right track though, wondering why they weren‘t taking a certain line of inquiry! The exact motive I was nowhere near—it is very 1929. I may listen to book 2 some time. #classicmystery #mystery

A locked-room mystery of sorts although not really that much of a mystery. A couple stays at an inn for a night - the man‘s rather creepy. Years later, the woman‘s body is discovered in a hidden room yet the couple had been seen leaving the inn. Told from the perspective of the inn owner, the story takes ages to unravel but it was after all published in 1890. An interesting gothic mystery by one of the first writers of detective fiction.

What‘s better than one day of book mail? *Two* days of book mail! A wonderful reader sent me these Golden Age mysteries by Dorothy Bowers. I‘ve already read Postscript to Poison and thoroughly enjoyed it! #goldenagemystery #classicmystery #bookmail📮

Spotted this lovely little Christie at the library book sale and dropped everything to read it. Yass Queen! 👸🏼 (or should I say Dame?) That amazing twist at the end! #mystery #classicmystery #anglophilesoflitsy #poirot #agathachristie
