Set in 1920‘s London, involving the murder of a Chinese man that was beneath the police to investigate. Two very different Chinese men combine forces to investigate the murder and find themselves looking for a serial killer. Absolutely needs to be made into a BBC tv series
I‘m not sure how to rate this book. It was one of the most complicated books I‘ve ever read. I learned way more about Sir Isaac Newton and Alchemy than I‘d care to. Although I normally love stories about ghosts and magic, I didn‘t love this one. I can‘t say that the book was bad, because it was obvious that amount of research the author put into it. It was just way too technical for me, footnotes and all.
I‘m back on track with #OffMyShelf “Favorite Author” after a slew of library books paused my efforts.
This was very entertaining and one of her cleverer plots: three deaths, connected by method but the motive is obscure. The puzzle intrigues Poirot and brings him out of retirement. Mr. Satterthwaith, a reoccurring character from some non-Poirot short stories takes on the role of Hastings somewhat in aiding Poirot.
Any bets on how long I can read before the pollen chases me away? 🤧
This was a nice, low key cozy mystery. The residents of the house get an eviction notice and start protesting. One of them gets attacked and put in a hospital. Dorothy has lived there for most of her life and it‘s a mystery as to why, that you find out. Kat is originally from this town and was compelled to come back. And you find out why. No murder in this book. It was good!
I like Hastings so much more in the books. I wish they wouldn't make him such a charictature in the TV/movie adaptations.

My #hyggehourreadathon plans tonight.
Drink soothing cinnamon milk, peruse the catalog Divine Geometry ( seeing exhibit today), catch up on Murder on the Links with my kitties. Sublime.
It‘s time for the #ChristiesCapers discussion! I have 6 questions posted as spoilers; you can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtags.
Next up is The Man in the Brown Suit, the first appearance of Colonel Race in the novels. The official post will appear tomorrow!
