pickThis is a weak pick. I enjoyed the main characters, especially Anthony, Virginia and Inspector Battle, along with their evolving relationships, but the storyline felt a bit off at times; occasionally straying into the realm of the implausible. The book had enough to keep me amused, but may not be satisfactory for those seeking a more tightly woven mystery.

I didn‘t care for this one, but enjoyed the BR discussion and look forward to our next read in January.
pickThis was a silly bit of fun, I enjoyed it, though it felt a bit rushed through toward the end. Still... lots of classic mystery moments + the Great British Bake-Off setup (and gentle mockery of the format). A light pick!
I should really do a new #ComicsBingo card...
so-soThis isn't my favorite Poirot mystery, but it might be my favorite portrayal of the friendship between Poirot and Mrs. Oliver. I enjoyed the reflections on aging and the many conversations between long acquaintances that feel more at the center of the novel than the mystery itself, which isn't overly complicated (although some (in my opinion unnecessary) complexities are layered on top of the solution).

pick102/100 I've had the print version of this on my TBR for years, but I chose the audiobook instead, mainly because I was curious to hear Peter Dinklage's version of Poirot. He does a very good job as Poirot, showing both his intelligence, his dogged determination, and the love he has for his friend Captain Hastings. I hope there will be more Poirot adventures with Peter Dinklage. 4/5 ⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025
pickI‘ve had a really hard time of late just really getting into books I‘ve started and been sluggish, so much so, that I fell behind my reading goal. I found myself trying to find my inspiration by reading cozy British mystery books. Alas, Agatha Christie has been helpful this week. #books #agathachristie #herculepoirot
