I picked this up for 50 cents at the library the other day. While I prefer Christie‘s novels, this was an enjoyable experience/story collection.
Five Poirot, one Miss Marple, two Parker Pyne, and one detective-less story (which felt more like Westmacott than Christie IYKYK). The only one I‘d read before was the Miss Marple, but I had seen all five of the Poirot ones adapted with David Suchet. I ❤️Agatha Christie.
so-soMeh. One of my least favorite of Christie‘s works so far.
Hastings was especially annoying in these stories.
I mostly listened to the audio while knitting Estella, my emotional support chicken, seen here with the paperback, so it was worth it.
I got laid off last month & am having a hard time finding a new job. Thankfully I have books & hobbies to keep me from falling too far into depression. #christiescapers #agathachristieclubr3 #audioknitting
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. 🙄
pickI don‘t get the covers of these cheap ebooks. Somehow I imagined Fernkurs Park to be more opulent, but perhaps I am wrong. It is funny to follow Poirot trying to be an average citizen cultivating pumpkins. For sure he wouldn‘t last long and a murder case would sneak back into his life and Poirot is taking it gratefully. And The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is definitely a good case for a come back.

I only read one book last week, and it was NOT a favorite ... so what's a gal to do? 😂🤷♀️😂
I haven‘t started reading this month‘s book yet. I saw this on my Instagram feed, reposted it to my Instagram account and wanted to share it with everyone participating in #christiescapers because I thought it was cool to see. I didn‘t know there was an Agatha Christie statue.

„There‘s no doubt at all about what the man‘s profession has been. He‘s a retired hairdresser. Look at that moustache of his.“ 🤣🤣🤣 Imagine Poirot being a hairdresser. 🤣🤣🤣
so-so#ChristiesCapers @Librarybelle
I would not recommend this book as a first one to read of Christie's; it is clearly not her best. The novel's origin as a short story collection is glaringly obvious. The narrative feels fragmented, jumping from one escapade to the next without the seamless plot construction Christie is renowned for. Also, there is no central puzzle for the reader to solve. The clues are not laid out for the armchair detective; ⬇️
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.
