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

Agatha Christies Poirot: The Greatest Detective in the World
“But Hester, I‘m years older than you are. You can‘t really—“
“That is—if you want me,” said Hester with sudden doubt.
“Oh, I want you!” said Arthur Calgary.

Given the on-going Canada Post strike I have had the #jolabokaflodswap package sent directly via Amazon to my match. Takes away some of the fun, but they are on their way! (And should be in gift bags.) Christmas baking prep picture for interest.

so-soI'm not a huge fan of this one. I appreciate the idea that revealing a truth can injure those who are innocent, but there are a lot of strange ideas here about creating a family through adoption and about maternal instinct and about women---especially middle-aged women---that I have trouble getting past. (I was going to say the ideas about women are outdated, but in the current climate, it's clear that a lot of these ideas are still thriving.)
Seasonal Recs! #ihavequestions
Spring: Absent in the Spring by Mary Westmacott/Agatha Christie—It‘s in the title…😁
Summer: Mama Day by Gloria Naylor—major summer vibes: like a powerful, looming summer thunderstorm
Fall: Peace Like a River by Leif Enger—fall vibes, with a journey across the frozen Badlands
Winter: The Historian—I read this in winter in Germany so it‘s forever associated with snowy landscapes (and very effective blackout shutters)
Another Lady Agatha short story collection, but this one seems a little different, probably because there is not a lot of murders and mystery solving, more some strange situations.
pickAs usual another great read from Agatha Christie. I was definitely feeling some summer vibes from this book. It had me so excited to the very end. This is definitely a must summer read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickI‘m finally catching up my last few reviews from February. This was the last book I read for the #MaryWestmacottBuddyRead, and while it was worthwhile, I think it was the weakest of the bunch. The Westmacott novels have all been so rich in their character development and examination of human nature, but here, the plot she chose to explore these particular characters didn‘t seem to serve her purposes well.
