It‘s probably criminal of me to admit this is my first dalliance with this Agatha Christie heroine - but I had no idea Miss Marple was so saucy! And in the 1960s! 🤭

Finally finished my first book of 2025!
This was a really good showing for Agatha Christie - definitely more on me than on her that it took me almost two weeks to read.
I ask for a Christie book every year from our work Secret Santa, and it‘s always fun to see what my colleagues pick for me 🤗
And, as ever, I didn‘t come close to guessing the true culprit.
My pick for favourite book of November for #12Booksof2024
Miss Marple at her absolute best.

Getting back into #bookspinbingo. It's such a fun challenge 🤩
I really enjoy the Agatha Christie novels because they give an interesting glimpse of the past. I would have enjoyed to be a dancer at a hotel playing bridge with the guests. Hopefully I would have not ended as a dead body in the library - but one sitting wrapped up cozily in a comfortable armchair in the library.
This is a fun little Poirot short (the actual book includes several other short stories, but they aren't particularly Christmasy, so I only read the title story this time around). Poirot reluctantly heads off to a country estate for an “old-fashioned Christmas“ - and a bit of undercover sleuthing. Poirot is very Poiroty in this one, and I quite enjoyed rereading it.

Thanks for the tag, @TheSpineView! 🥰
1. Hmm. Living in Phoenix my whole life, I wonder what I would pick ... 🤔 ... the absolute coldest wintry cabin high in the mountains of course! ❄️
2. I love winter mysteries usually at big estates, for some reason... like the short story I tagged with good ol' Hercule Poirot.
All are invited to play.
Given the on-going Canada Post strike I have had the #jolabokaflodswap package sent directly via Amazon to my match. Takes away some of the fun, but they are on their way! (And should be in gift bags.) Christmas baking prep picture for interest.
