Elephants Can Remember | 
Mrs. Oliver looked at herself in the glass. She gave a brief, sideways look towards the clock on the mantelpiece, which she had some idea was twenty minutes slow.

so-soThis isn't my favorite Poirot mystery, but it might be my favorite portrayal of the friendship between Poirot and Mrs. Oliver. I enjoyed the reflections on aging and the many conversations between long acquaintances that feel more at the center of the novel than the mystery itself, which isn't overly complicated (although some (in my opinion unnecessary) complexities are layered on top of the solution).
pickI enjoyed this more than I‘d thought I would (with low expectations) - there‘s great humour, wonderful observations by Ariadne Oliver about being an author & the joy of her and Poirot‘s company. The mystery is elusive & dissatisfying in that it stays so nebulous & hard to grasp throughout. This could be deliberate as memory (a theme) can be slippery too, but it feels vague. Elephants are mentioned far too often (especially for Poirot!).
pick4✨ Another Poirot book that is really fun to read. We have a question posed to Ms. Oliver on an event was there is a double murder/suicide. Did the husband kill the wife and then commit suicide, the other way around, or did they both commit suicide at the same time. Certainly someone will remember something so they can crack the mystery. The story flows well, and I was finally able to solve one! I enjoy Poirot as a master of deduction always.
pickThis was another entertaining Poirot/Ariadne Oliver pairing. They are trying to figure out the reasoning behind a very old double suicide and must track down people who might remember details about the couple. All the talk and confusion about elephants was very amusing. I love Mrs. Oliver

“We will drive back to London. We must return to everyday life, forget tragedies and love affairs.”
“Elephants can remember,” said Mrs. Oliver, “but we are human beings and mercifully human beings can forget.”

pickThis was actually the first Agatha Christie I saw the plot twist coming. But it was very exciting anyway. The only thing going on my nerves were the words „Elephants can remember“ but the main characters felt so too. 😊

pickI‘m almost done with the Poirot series, 1 more to go. Ariadne Oliver is in this one a lot, which makes it more entertaining. Otherwise, the story is good with a predictable ending.

panEven though I've seen dozens of movies and TV shows with her characters, I've never read an Agatha Christie novel. I don't think this was the one to start with, I found it boring and tedious, with a very obvious conclusion. Maybe I should have started with a better known classic like Murder on the Orient Express. 2 ⭐⭐

A book which I‘ve enjoyed reading and I‘m surprised it was first published in the year I was born! I thought it was older 😅
pickSplendid!!!
Finished this last night. I like how elephants are used in the book. The climax could be guessed a little beforehand but still this was a good read.
pickEnjoyed this book very much! I cant wait to read some more of her books. This was the first Agatha Christie novel I have read in my 28 years of life!

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
Day 69

Library finally reopened by way of pickup service and I‘m so thrilled! I didn‘t even know what I was really in the mood for so I just said “A lot of Hercule Poirot.” This is my third in a row!
Photo is of the rhubarb muffins I made this morning. ‘Tis the season!
so-soContinuing on with my journey on trying to read every Agatha Christie book. I enjoyed this one, but not as much as others. This was the first time I was able to guess what happened before the end... Maybe I'm just getting better at it? #doubtit #mystery 🤓🕵️

As always, I'm surprised to discover more new-to-me Christies! And I think #TryToRemember is basically how Poirot and Marple approach everyone they meet 😂 #WinterWonderland

so-soAgatha always makes for a fun, easy, yet brain-exercising read. This is not one of her bests - she wrote it in 1972, when she was 82. While I enjoyed the mystery, and figured it out too, I felt that the romantic tragedy, the motivations, governesses, well-to-do people with estates, belonged to a different era, and found it overly melodramatic. I did enjoy that she write herself into the book as Mrs. Oliver, though. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickWell written and plotted with much twist that made the book engaging. It was predictable towards the end but intriguing nevertheless! I felt that this was much better than Murder on the Orient Express
This is the back of the fabulous book bag my sibling sent me. That's a great big elephant footprint! 🐘
pickThis was a unique read. It was a little confusing in the middle, but the further along I got into the story the more thought-provoking it became. And at the end was the traditional Agatha Christie twist ending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #ElephantsCanRemember #AgathaChristie #HerculePoirot #HerculePoirotSeries #book #books #bookzesty #bookzilla #bookzine #bookzone #bookxcess #bookcollection #bookcollector #bookcase #bookcases #bookcover #bookcovers #bookclub 💞💞💞

so-soOnly ⭐️⭐️⭐️ , which is disappointing for an Agatha book. It was a solid read until near the end, and then it seemed rushed, as if she‘d had a deadline with her publisher.
And the cover makes no sense. There is nothing in the text about bloody keys.
Nothing.
? 🔑 ? 🔑 ? 🔑 ? 🔑 ? 🔑 ? 🔑 ? 🔑 ?
When the typo in your book holds a truth.
“As her son”, “Asher son”.
Asher is my son‘s name. ☺️
And why, oh why do Agatha Christie books always have typos?
pickAnother great mystery by Agatha Christie. She never disappoints. I am truly addicted to her books. In this particular story, Poirot investigates what is believed to be a double suicide. He must go back in time to unravel what happened. 👍
I wasn‘t planning on reading another Agatha Christie, but my library had a display featuring her books. I could not resist! 😍
