Welcome to Litsy!

I love Poirot. I loved the mystery. I loathed all the other characters. Wednesday, my reading buddy, pictured, enjoyed Sunday reading cuddles.

I don't remember when I last read this one - the joys of getting older and being able to forget every single thing about a Christie novel. It's one of her (underrated, in my opinion) novels with no Poirot or Miss Marple, just a cast of characters we get to know who solve the mystery on their own. Emily is delightfully plucky, brave and loyal. I really enjoyed it again!

I'm just starting this one. Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Baroness Emma Orczy, and Margery Allingham all band together to solve a real murder to prove that they're equal to, or better than, the authors in the "boys' club" who don't accept them. So far, good character development and lots of 1930s period charm. Reading for a book discussion later this week.

A couple of vintage finds from my recent little road trip! 💚

As I've only finished one book this week, this was an easy choice. :-)

I'm not sure the setting played much of a role in this mystery, and several of the characters feel almost extraneous, but it's a diverting story nevertheless. I like how Christie writes about aging. This one has a feel reminiscent to The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman.
