I‘m a big Agatha Christie fan & this is a fictional account of her 11-day disappearance in 1926. It took awhile to get into but once it got going I was hooked. I definitely need to do some more reading on the real facts of the story. Recommended to anyone who likes historical fiction or is a fan of Dame Agatha. 4⭐️

The Seven Dials Mystery | Agatha Christie

Not one of Agatha Christie's best, but great fun nonetheless. It definitely showcases her sense of humour. It's pretty much a spoof spy thriller, with all the characters acting like they're something out of Wodehouse. For a while I was sure I had worked out the solution to the mystery, but of course I hadn't 😂

Fun spy romp through South Africa. Irritating commentary on women and domestic abuse by heroine though.

Time for some classic #Eastercrime
I read (and watched) a lot of Agatha Christie in my teens, and the premise of this one sounds familiar, but I can't remember who the killer is or why. Hopefully it won't come back to me as I read 😅

I‘m rereading the Tommy and Tuppence books, and I don‘t think Christie liked Tuppence very much. The other characters are rude to her. She constantly gets bashed about the head. Everyone refers to her as elderly (she‘s mid fifties max). Bah. At least this was funnier than I remember.

I am proud that I did not bail, but Poirot and Christie are not at their best in short stories. Too much dialogue, too minor of cases, and too quick of resolutions made each story in here a bigger bore than the first. I‘ll read Book 4, but only after a break to cleanse my pallet.

Although I had previously read a Tommy & Tuppence story in a detective story anthology, this was the first novel featuring the married duo I have read & what an absolute delight. Set during WWII Tommy is tasked with trying to determine who might be behind the Fifth Column in Britain. Not one to be left behind, Tuppence secretly joins him. My minor gripe about this novel is that the reveal about the major players def have a deus ex machina (CONT)

vivastory that is unusual for the usual cleverness of a Christie novel; she can def be excused considering the circumstances. This was a women getting shit done book. Loved! 6d
CogsOfEncouragement I really enjoy the way the books featuring this couple allow us to see them grow old together. 6d
vivastory @CogsOfEncouragement Do you have a favorite? 6d
CogsOfEncouragement I read them too long ago to answer that. and I gave them all five stars. 6d

From THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT by Agatha Christie:
“Nadina, the Russian dancer who had taken Paris by storm, swayed to the sound of the applause, bowed and bowed again.“

This was an okay read, it‘s between a so-so and a pick. It wasn‘t amazing but I was interested enough to keep reading it. A good library borrow 👍

This is the lower end of the pick scale for me. I really wanted for all the Queens to be clearly depicted, but only Christie and Sayers have pretty distinct personalities. Marsh and Allingham were only distinguishable from each other by Marsh‘s New Zealand accent and their respective clothing styles. The book was also a bit slow paced in the first half but picked up later. #audiowalk

wanderinglynn Looks like a lovely walk 🌼💛 7d
KathyWheeler @wanderinglynn It was. I‘m still amazed at how pretty they‘ve made this campus. When I first interviewed here, it was the ugliest college campus I‘d ever been on. 6d
