Welcome to Litsy!

Our little friend with a moustache returns, this time investigating a murder in neighboring France. While teaching his friend Hastings about women and love, foiling a French police officer, and traveling to and fro between countries, the contemplative Belgian cracks the case! Better than Styles, The Murder on the Links has made me a genuine fan of Agatha Christie. Looking forward to Book 3.

Ugh, preaching to the choir, Poirot 🥶🥶🥶

Reading the background information on Styles. A few weeks ago I bought the new „Poirot“ by Aldrigde only to realize I have an older version of this kind of background info book by Anne Hart already on my bookshelf. 🙈🙈🙈 Okay, this way I can check out the development of the Agatha Christie research from 1990 to 2022. 😜 #offtheshelf

I could not help but hear the voice of Peter Dinklage while I read it. 🙈 Definitely a good start into monthly reading of Poirot novels. I like the way Hastings was introduce with a story that concerne his life.

Poirot - the old matchmaker! 🤣🤣🤣

Not my favorite Christie but fun to revisit as she invents Poirot and improves her writing.

I listened to the audiobook read by Richard Armitage who did a superb job.

Oh my God, how good is Peter Dinklage as Hercule Poirot? His way of crying „Hastings!“ is perfect. This is definitely the best adaption ever.

The village of Chipping Cleghorn is surprised by a very unusual newspaper announcement. This week, amongst the furniture for sale, the local gazette's announcement page contains an advertisement which reads: ‘A murder is announced and will take place on Friday October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6.30 p.m.‘

Unsure if it is a practical joke or one of those new 'murder mystery games', the neighbours gather at the house on Friday evening (continued)

My second Miss Marple book. This one takes her out of the village of st Mary‘s mead, which was a bit of a shame, but I enjoyed the characters and again, did not guess who did it. She‘s so good.
