There are some parts that have aged like milk, but I still love Poirot!

We went to Door County this week and when you go, you‘re obliged to take home produce. It‘s cherry season, so I‘m making cherry bounce while Poirot investigates.

But after a while they stopped talking about her and discussed instead who was going to win the Grand National. For, as Mr. Ferguson was saying at that minute in Luxor, it is not the past that matters but the future.

#ScarathlonPhotoChallenge #Day3 #Death One of my favorite Dame Agatha‘s, I remember watching the movie adaptation with Mia Farrow & Peter Ustinov as Poirot when I was about 9yrs old. Absolutely fell in love with the story then, the conclusion is just so clever! #Scarathlon #SpookyGhostClub 6pts

A quick listen to kick off my spooky season reading. This was only my second Poirot mystery but I am beginning to understand his enduring popularity; I rather enjoy that fussy little Belgian.

Planning to watch the Branagh adaptation this evening. My hope is a nice little murder mystery movie night will help soothe the sting of this Bengals game I‘m watching.

Loved it!

#bookspinbingo - with this book, I got two bingos!

I enjoyed this immensely. I had an idea of what was going to happen pretty early on, but that didn't make me enjoy this any less. It was fun. David Suchet is a fantastic narrator, I especially loved his Poirot. I definitely need to read more Agatha Christie because I had forgotten how fun they are.

Started listening to this today. It's been a long time since I read Agatha Christie.

Keeping it classic for today‘s #temptingtitles #withdeath

It‘s been a long time since I‘ve read any Agatha Christie, and I‘d forgotten how tightly crafted her books are. It was fun to plunge back into the world of Hercule Poirot, although this time my mind saw and heard David Suchet. I need to read and reread more of these. Alas, no pictures of the Nile, the beach is the best I can do 😄

I raided our son and DIL‘s library again this weekend. As much as I love mysteries, I haven‘t read much Christie. Her work was featured in the Wondrium course, Secrets of Great Mystery and Suspense Fiction, that hubby and I just finished. I realized I need to read more of her novels. We watched the movie version of this last week, and I decided to start here.

A murder mystery in an exotic setting was just the kind of book that I needed right after having finished The Feminine Mystique.
At first, I had a hard time following the different strands because there were so many characters, and it wasn't easy to keep up with who was who exactly. Later on, when the murder finally happened, the pacing got quicker, and the twists held my interest. It didn't take away from the enjoyment factor that... ⬇️

Emaleigh! Thank you so so much!!! I'm excited to jump in! I do love Agatha Christie but sadly haven't read much by her. This is so exciting!!! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Classic Christie, solid end of school year commute audio.

I've been re-reading Christie's books and there were a lot of good ones this year.

Death on the Nile is my favorite. I love the central love triangle and how long Christie takes establishing the characters and the relationships before getting to the murder.

Re-read this one for book club!! I love Christie‘s books so much!

“That‘s her!” said Mr. Burnaby, the landlord of the Three Crowns.

I listened to the version with David Suchet as the narrator. It was excellent. It's also my #DoubleSpin book for the month. #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter #PromptMaze E4 #Spookoween #31by31 #BodyCountBingo #LittenListen #OutstandingOctober @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks @TheSpineView @Catsandbooks @PuddleJumper @aperfectmjk @Andrew65

4. What did you think of Christie's portrayal of Egypt in the novel? Were you satisfied with the level of detail, or did you want more? Was her depiction of the country and its people enjoyable or difficult to read?

3. Did you feel about the characters of Jackie, Linnet, and Simon? Did you have sympathy for any of them, or did you dislike them? How does Poirot view each of them?

#agathachristieclubR2

2. Death on the Nile has been adapted for the screen many times. What do you think makes this book so attractive to directors and screenwriters over other Christie novels?

#agathachristieclubR2

Ugh. #agathachristieclubR2 friends, I'm so sorry to be posting questions to this book weeks (months?) late. Without going into boring detail, the last couple of months have been downright bad for me, plus I finally got covid! So even though I had posts ready, my mind just wasn't here. But I miss y'all, so please forgive me, and we'll fit in what we can before my committee reading takes over in November.

1. Did you enjoy this book? Why or why not?

#OminousOctober #Day14 #Mystery For this prompt, only Dame Agatha will do! This is one of my favourite of her novels in a beautiful edition. Very twisty mystery! #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter 6pts

I finally read this! How have I lived a life as long as I have with no idea how this book progressed. I kept thinking that as I read along, this story and how it resolves would come to be me as a memory long forgotten. But nope, no idea, full surprise at the end!

Not quite the Nile 😊 #AgathaChristieClubr2

Trying out the new movie….

Did I turn the page on my calendar early? 🫣

I got this as a Christmas gift - and I‘ve really enjoyed having it with my plants at work 🥳

Just started this ☺️#agathachristieclubr2

Here's our upcoming schedule! Please join in if you'd like!

I enjoyed this one, despite the racism and convoluted solution and the fact that I figured out the mystery right away, which isn't usual for me. Although I guess I could say the first two about pretty much every Christie book I've read. David Suchet read this audiobook, and he did well, but I think I prefer Hugh Fraser. This got me through post-vacation laundry and post-move garage organization.

Slowly working my way through Christie's works. I was excited to get to this one since the movie recently came out. It was a little slow going at first with a lot of character set up but I really enjoyed the twist in the end

I almost made this a pick, but I‘m not sure I liked it enough. The pacing was sloooooow and I struggled to stay interested. Once the murder *finally* happened, I had it figured out early and that‘s always a little disappointing. Still, it was well written (if dated) and I enjoyed the little bits of humor.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

This will be on the way home to you tomorrow, @persephone1408 😃

Enjoyed my book club‘s June selection…my first Christie in decades, but definitely not my last! And now I can check out the movie adaptations (my librarian said she prefers the original…but I do have a soft spot for Kenneth Branagh!).

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2

Finished this one sitting outside enjoying the nice weather this morning. I enjoyed it! #LMPBC #GroupL @sprainedbrain @persephone1408 @TheSpineView

So glad to have some time to sit outside and read in this nice weather. Almost done with this #LMPBC pick.

A little #lunchtimereading on the fine Friday. I just had to get out of the office.

This one I am on the fence about. It is somewhere between a So-so and a pick. The beginning was so slow. The murder doesn't take place until the halfway point. It was hard to get into the story. I stuck with it because it was a book for #LMPBC I didn't feel any remorse for the victim and most of characters I didn't care for. 3.5 ⭐
