pickLow pick. Forgot to post this earlier in January 😅 3rd read of this and while I remembered “whodunnit” I still couldn‘t piece it together until Poirot explained. Hastings got on my nerves but I still enjoyed the story. Not my favorite Christie (though truthfully it‘s hard to top my favorite) but still a good read all the same. #Christiescapers

pick#ChristiesCapers
A younger man marries an older wealthy woman and she ends up dead. There is a cast of characters that all seem suspicious at one time or another. My first time reading this and I quite enjoyed getting to know the quirky Poirot.
A #shelfie of my Agatha Christie collection.
I love vintage paperbacks. I‘m always on the lookout for more.
The #christiescapers #AgathaChristieClubR3 should help me work through my collection ( I also have a ton on my kindle).

In February, the #ChristiesCapers group will read Christie‘s second mystery, and the first featuring the duo Tommy and Tuppence. Originally published in 1922, this introduces the couple from their first meet cute to their adventures in mystery.
Discussion will take place on February 23rd. If you would like to be added or removed from the tag list, please let me know! #AgathaChristieClubR3
Check out this crazy weird cover from 1981 for next month‘s book.
It kind of creeps me out with that giant fly.
1981 printing of the 1967 paperback edition.

In Lucy Worsley's 3-part documentary, she interviews a professor about Christie's racist and anti-Semitic epithets in her novels (the interview is wonderful).
As we progress in the novels, we'll notice this (there were a couple of instances in my addition of this novel that stood out to me).
But yet, we love Christie, and her works have endured for over 100 years. Why do you think this is the case? #AgathaChristieClubR3 #ChristiesCapers
8. According to Brewer‘s Dictionary of Phrase & Fable, a red herring is “a hint or statement in the early part of the story to put the reader on the wrong scent” (derived from the practice of dragging a smelly red herring across a path to confuse hunting dogs). How many red herrings can you find in this mystery? ~from Penguin Random House Reading Group Guide #AgathaChristieClubR3 #ChristiesCapers
