pickI finished another Poriot murder mystery. This time the point of view wasn‘t the one of Hastings, but the one of Katherine. She does have her own suspicions, even though she does not have all the information of Poirot. But in the end she comes to the same conclusion on her own - without Poirot. 😂
so-soI‘m between a pick and a so so here. Yes the writing was excellent and for the most part she captured a lot of what I loved about Poirot. Which must have been a tough and daunting task. But the plot was all over the place with a not so satisfying ending. That said I‘m going to try The closed casket ( her second attempt) only because it‘s set in beautiful Clonakilty and I don‘t think Poirot ever made it to Ireland which could be interesting. 🥸
thanks @TheSpineView for #Two4Tuesday
1/ for eternity? this is a tough, it's close, I guess I would go for stripes
2/ the last one I borrowed was a few weeks ago, Labours of Hercules (Poirot # 26), by Agatha Christie, 4*, an entertaining read

Longtime Littens know there have been two rounds of groups reading Agatha Christie‘s mysteries in pub order. The most recent round was amazingly led by @ferskner .
Here comes round 3! Ann is kindly fine with me starting a new round. We‘ll read in pub order, starting with the tagged in January. Read at your own pace. Discussion on the last Sunday of each month. Comment below to be added to the tag list! #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
This is a reread for me—my IRL book group is discussing it this week. There is a reason it is considered one of the best mysteries—I cannot say much without giving it away, but the way Christie constructs the murder and the ensuing investigation is brilliant. Lots of red herrings and misdirections, but if you use your little grey cells, you can figure it out. Absolutely brilliant. #192025 #1926
pickAnother Monday - a new week to listen to audiobooks on my daily commute. I finished this one last week and have to say - again - I did not see the end coming. The point of view is definitely interesting, I wonder why the story wouldn‘t be told by Hastings. No wonder it is called Agatha Christie‘s masterpiece.
Happy Halloween
