And Then There Were None | Agatha Christie

On to my next Agatha Christie! This one's starting off really good...

blurb
MarieA

Next up- so far so good. It's an interesting look at living alone, at the 'stigma' and how the number of ppl doing so has sky rocketed over the years. I've lived alone before, but always while in a relationship- now I'm on my own for real and I'm super excited. Picked this up to see other ppls experiences! I love random nonfiction like this.

I can't believe this is my first Agatha Christie book! I'm not a huge traditional mystery fan, but this was a quick, engaging, and fun (read: sometimes goofy) read. I guess I'll have to make my way through her whole collection now.

Merethebookgal This was my first Christie as well (I listened to the audiobook earlier this year) and I just finished up my 3rd one of her's 😃 8y
MarieA @Merethebookgal what would you recommend next? I picked up 'And Then There Were None' for $1 - it sounds interesting 8y
Merethebookgal @MarieA I haven't read that one yet but people have been recommending it to me so I'm sure it's good 😃. I've read The ABC murders and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, both of which I enjoyed 👍🏼. 8y

#getindie Another favorite indie bookseller of mine... Malaprop's in Asheville NC. Cozy, honey, and eclectic in their offerings- definitely worth a trip if you're in the area.

Every Heart a Doorway | Seanan McGuire

Loved this little book. It's darker and goes a little deeper than what you would expect, but that makes it stay with you longer. Magic, fantasy, and mystery all centered around a home for wayward children. It's a quick read but I wish there was more since I'm not ready to give up these characters!

A Mystery with some magical elements. It definitely pulled me in from the beginning, and there weren't any slow parts. The dialogue was a little hard to follow at some points, because it relied on you to remember certain things from earlier. Great book, great characters, and an interesting premise told in a way I had read before. Would definitely recommend!

New day, new book! Has anyone read this? It sounds interesting - mystery, Victorian London, and watches?

MrBook Eager to hear your thoughts. I've seen it everywhere but haven't read it yet. 8y
