This memoir of 1930s archeological digs in Syria is, unsurprisingly, all kinds of problematic. Still, if you're fond of Christie's voice there's a lot to enjoy, not least of which is her own enjoyment. It's kind of awesome to read about a middle-aged woman gamely heading out on adventures, and as a working member of a team. As a fan, it's also fun to notice where she used her experiences in her fiction.

Ruthiella I liked it too, despite some of the more cringe-worthy parts. I thought the bit about the deaf vicar in the train misunderstanding her relationship to the serviceman was hilarious. 12h
willaful @Ruthiella lol yes. 11h

Loving this one so far! Is Mrs (So-Called) Christie actually Mrs Christie come back from the great beyond to solve a (murder) mystery or two? Stay tuned

A woman gets stuck in a train station for several days and has time to reflect on her life. This was written by Agatha Christie under a pen name and I really liked it. #192025 1944

Ruthiella This is my favorite of the Mary Westmacott novels. 3w
Librarybelle Her Westmacott novels are pretty intense. I need to read this one. 3w

AUTUMN CHILLS | Agatha Christie

Mehso-so

My first Agatha Christie because I needed an autumn cover.

I've watched all of the adaptations so it was interesting to read the source material. I approve of the TV series inserting Hastings into everything.

Faranae TV show Hastings is also a huge improvement over book Hastings. Honestly, I like the Suchet Poirot better than the books (yes, yes, pillory me!). 1mo

OutsmartYourShelf I've got this one but not got around to reading it yet. Nice autumn cover. 1mo
OutsmartYourShelf @Faranae Honestly, same here. 1mo
PuddleJumper @Faranae Good Lord! 😂 1mo
LiteraryinPA Does this one go by a different name, I wonder? I haven‘t heard of it before. Hopefully that means I‘ve found a new one to read! She‘s one of my favorite authors. 1mo
CSeydel @LiteraryinPA I was wondering that, too. 1mo
PuddleJumper @LiteraryinPA @CSeydel It's a collection of short stories. It might be a new collection as there's also a winter one 1mo
willaful @LiteraryinPA I couldn't find it in GoodReads. 1mo

Some background reading: Aldeidge mentions that The Big Four was thrown together shortly after Christie‘s breakdown while she wasn‘t able to write another novel. No wonder it ended up like this.

And again, doing some background reading on the current Poirot murder mystery. I would have liked any of the displayed covers compared to the one my ebook did. 🙄

Keeping up with the further reading - I am behind anyway 🙈🙈🙈 - before starting the next Poirot in line. Both books narrate Poirot‘s life as displayed throught the different novels and give background infos on how the novels were written and published.
