Welcome to Litsy!

This was pretty cool- especially the way the truth is uncovered toward the end - it wasn‘t what you‘d expect in a Poirot.

Exhibit No. 58. “Grief.” Alabaster. Miss Henrietta Savernake. . . .

“John, forgive me, forgive me, for what I can‘t help doing.”

I like this one. It's quiet and puts a bit of a twist on the usual Poirot storyline. A discontented doctor takes a break from doing clinical trials on impoverished women without informed consent to spend a quiet weekend in the country with his wife. Interestingly, the main part of the mystery involves the quiet weekend, not the cavalier drug trials.

I laughed out loud at the scene of the servants dressing down the young kitchen maid for not adequately shielding her ladyship from the police!

“If you see me with a pistol in my hand, the proper thing to do is come to me and say, ‘Mr. Gudgeon, will you be so kind as to give me an explanation?‘ What you should *not* have done is to go babbling off to a policeman — and only a Sergeant at that!”

… or whatever else strikes my fancy I suppose, LOL. No, no, stick to the plan:

The Hollow is for my Agatha Christie fan club (hosted on fable - if anyone is interested, I‘ll post the link) but I‘m late and they‘ve already moved on to The Labours of Hercules 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oscar Wars is for my LA-themed book club (hosted on Discord; if anyone is interested, I‘ll post the link) meeting July 9

1984 is for #14books14weeks

Poirot is invited to lunch at The Hollow, where he is disappointed to find a murder performance on his arrival. Except it's not an act and someone's just been shot.
Another great character study by Mrs Christie

At six thirteen a.m. on a Friday morning Lucy Angkatell‘s big blue eyes opened upon another day and, as always, she was at once wide awake and began immediately to deal with the problems conjured up by her incredibly active mind.

Poirot arrives at his neighbours' for lunch only to find Gerda Christow standing over her husband's body with a gun. It looks too staged to be real. And yet John Christow is dead.

I found most of the characters in this one rather tiresome and the murder delayed far too long. So-so verging on Pan.

Misdirection on a family scale. Excellent twists and turns that keep you changing your mind. Classic. @TheAromaofBooks June #bookspin

My May #bookspin. Time for a murder mystery.

A Hercule Poirot mystery where matrimonial jealousy lies at the heart of the story.

Woohoo, I finished the ornament finally! On to the next #audiostitching project - and the next audiobook too, as I also finished the tagged one.

I know #20in4 goes til the end of today this time, but I'm calling it at 4 days, the end of Monday, anyways. It just fit so nicely with the end of the month.

Very pleased with my progress this time. 5 books finished (even though 3 were almost done before the readathon started) and read for 10.5 hours. Looking forward to next month's! Thanks as always @Andrew65!

Read just over an hour yesterday for 3:30 so far in the readathon, but more importantly, I finished my assignment so now I can focus on #20in4!

Starting today with some #audiostitching to the tagged. I'm getting close to the end of this ornament finally! Still a lot of backstitching to go.

Bk4 of August & #LitsySummerCampReadathon & Bk1 of #AwesomeAugust #readathon is done. A reread by audiobook on Scribd, this has always been one of my favourite Dame Agatha books. One of her more convoluted murders, it‘s set in a big country house in England with a shooting, an unfaithful man & too many suspects. Loved it👍 #ChristieCrimeClub #ReadChristie2021 #ReadItAgainSam #AudiobookChallenge2021 #BookspinBingo #BritishCrimeClassicsChallenge👇

Both of these have mysteries built around romantic relationships. Five Little Pigs—Poirot is asked to re-evaluate the facts from a 16 year-old murder. He interviews everyone, then has the people involved write their accounts of that time. I enjoyed it, but it‘s repetitive due to the format.
Tagged—different than previous books because you get to know the victim before the murder & continue the story w/ minimal Poirot investigation. A good one.

I really liked this one. There were a lot of characters and a lot of points of view in this one. A lot of awful people too. However, such a good whodunnit! I definitely didn‘t see the mastermind behind it. Though it didn‘t age very well. A few phrases that would no longer be used today.

#LMPBC #GroupN

Forgot to post that I received this on Saturday! Thanks for the goodies Annie! I can‘t wait to try some of that chocolate.

** I think we are a month behind. I should have read this one in January. Not a big deal, just FYI to the rest of the group

#LMPBC

It surprised me how much I enjoyed this book! A locked-door mystery of sorts, but Christie allows the reader to get a sense of the players prior to the murder, which I appreciated. January book for the #readchristie2021 challenge.

The mystery was clever and this Christie had a bit more character development with its multiple points of view. Always enjoy Poirot and his inner dialogue. Never enjoy the racism that was unfortunately common in this time period and with Christie. Read as part of the #readchristie2021 challenge hosted by OfficialAgathaChristie on IG 🤓

Participating in #ReadChristie2021 (as much as possible!) this year. One Agatha Christie book a month based on a theme. January is a book in a grand house - recommended is The Hollow.

Finished another book, still not my #BookSpin book. 🤦🏻‍♀️

And yet another #AuthorAMonth book too. This is one of my favourite Dame Agathas, it‘s got everything including a grand house, affairs, secrets & lies.

Just finished this one. A quick read. An interesting twist that I didn‘t expect. I can‘t wait to hear your thoughts on this one #GroupN #LMPBC round 10

I‘m thankful for my books and yarn to help me escape, relax, and stay sane.

Reading the tagged book for my #LMPBC group

My governor is an official meme on Twitter! 🤔The positive is that despite her being an egotistical b****, places are still shutting down again and requiring masks. This time people are upset that she is ignoring the doctors and are angry with her.

Thanks for the tag @MoonWitch94 ! #ThankfulThursday

I‘ll tag @RamsFan1963

#LMPBC #GroupN here is the mailing order in pictures. :) let me know if you need the email with mailing addresses again, and I can resend to you. I‘m excited! @Marmie7 @hwestfall @Laughterhp

Okay #GroupN I rounded up the title suggestions that none of us have read yet. @Marmie7 and I have our titles picked. @Laughterhp and @hwestfall which titles are you choosing!? 😮❤️😉
#lmpbc round10

Hey #LMPBC #GroupN What titles do you want to read? I‘m thinking the less well known titles- that is how I found the tagged book and By the Pricking of My Thumbs. Thoughts?

I read this Apr 5-20 and rated it 4 ⭐️. Overall I liked the mystery and the characters. I am not too sure if I really found the addition of Poirot good or bad. It took me longer than normal to read this one because of real life. For most of this month, it‘s been a struggle to read.

Hi, my name is Lauren, and I may have a slight addiction to book buying... Couldn‘t resist a library book sale 😍📚

Finished this book on my walk today and really enjoyed it. Poirot seems a little more fallible here.

First walk today was hot and muggy; then it rained, and my evening walk had a nice breeze to it.

This book was full of twists and turns. Just like any other true Agatha Christie novel. I love reading Agatha Christie‘s books when it features Hercule Poirot. It was the perfect read to kick off the summer season. It definitely had a summer feel to it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
